Luna Aspen worked hard and did all she could to be the best luna to her mate, the notorious Alpha Bode. But she is left devastated when he not only cheats on her but replaces her with a new luna, publicly denouncing her. But when a terrifying evil presents itself, setting out to kill her and their children, she finds him at her doorstep, to her rescue. But can she forgive and forget especially when he not only broke her heart but their children's as well? Can she get over the fact that he'd found her unworthy and tore their home apart? Could she ever choose him again?

Aspen Reynolds is 17 years old. She is the future Beta, being the first born in her siblings gives her that right. Her 18th birthday is tomorrow. Tomorrow is a very special day, but not just because it's her birthday. There are three reasons it is important. The first reason is it's the day she shifts. The second reason is that she gets to find her mate. And the last reason is she gets to become the Beta of her pack. The one thing she is most excited about is meeting her mate. Aaron Rivers is 18 years old. He is the new Alpha. He has been looking for his mate since his 18th birthday, but he has some expectations about what she should look like and of course when he finds his mate she doesn't meet his expectations.

She was alone, she was tormented, she was punished, they didn't like her. Family? What is that? Her parents have been long dead and her brother Dylan can't stand her presence. He blames her for their deaths and everyone joined in including the Alpha to be, Jake. Her only wish now was to find her mate and be as happy as she can be. On her 18th birthday she meets him in a strange way. In pure darkness they make love only to be rejected once the lights turned on and her mates sees who she is. Jake rejects her then and there, but not knowing that after that moment both their lives will forever change.
