Like a waterfall, my entire life comes crashing down at once. Everything flashes before my eyes, erupting in skull-splitting, agonizing misery. I want to scream, to let it all out, but nothing comes out except excruciating silence. I'm speechless, gripping my head tightly to make it stop.And the clock strikes midnight. Brass bells chime, signaling the time has come to reveal identities. To remove all masks.

Eyes as blue as the Caribbean Sea gaze into mine, lips were now swollen red. His biceps flex as he holds himself over me, careful not to crush me. But I don't move. I'm in full panic mode, staring horrendously at the perfect man in front of me. He grips my waist, and I swallow. Hard.

"Mine."

A mate is something every Lycanthrope dreams of having--other than Violet Stone. Ever since her childhood best friend betrayed her, allowing her parents to send her to the Emberglade Institute for the Disobedient, she's done putting her trust and faith in others. There's just one problem.

In this world, Alphas don't have daughters. Daughters don't run packs. Daughters are breeders, not readers. But as the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Pack of Strength, Violet refuses to sit still and look pretty, desiring only to lead alongside her twin, Vincent.

But she must put her dreams aside when her mother forces her to attend the Galae Nomen de Luna--an annual masquerade and the night every Lycanthrope above age seventeen in the Northern Hemisphere finds their mate. And it just so happens to be Violet's eighteenth birthday. Meanwhile, upon Violet's return eleven years later, trouble is bubbling in the Northern packs, precious memories are stolen, arranged engagements arise, and the legend of the Lupus Nocte threatens to haunt again. Masks on.
