It's a power that shifter wolves are hungry to utilize... to the point of abducting Rem Walker right from her home on her family farm. Her life no longer matters when an Elder Witch ensnares Rem in a binding death curse, threatening the life of Rem's younger brother as leverage.

In the midst of all this chaos... Rem can't stop asking: Why her? Why must she be chosen one to bear this curse? Why does the Elder Witch demand that she mate Alpha Ronan? And why does Rem enjoy the touch of the Alpha so much, when she has to betray him?
