Reese is a high school girl, raised by two vampire hunters. She was taught at a young age how dangerous vampires are and has seen the terror of them first hand. She plays her part well and acts normal, she even has a lifelong friend in Angel who is oddly quiet about her home life. Outside of school she hunts with her parents, determined to kill as many blood suckers as possible. She was given simple rules. All vampires are evil and will always kill given the chance. Angel is a high schooler, raised by her two parents who don't approve of her behavior, even calling her a disgrace. Her only close friend is Reese who is always so secretive for some reason. The two from the outside would seem quite similar except for one slight difference. Angel is a vampire.

A battle-scarred Alpha and a broken woman with hidden wounds are fate-bound-but she wants nothing to do with him. As danger looms and tempers flare, he'll have to find a way to break down her walls before it's too late. *** Scars...some are worn on the outside and read like a book, others are hidden on the inside, unseen but shape every fabric of our being. Alpha Chris has his share of scars. He wears them like badges of honour, having earned them protecting his pack. Jess carries hers on the inside, a collection of secret shame... After Jess breaks free of an abusive ex, she goes home to her farm in the remote countryside to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She tries to bury her trauma and move on, determined not to let anyone get too close again. Chris has given up on finding his mate and focuses all of his energy on his pack, growing colder and more distant with every passing year. Just when he least expects it, she falls into his lap, smelling like his best friend and wanting nothing to do with him. What happens when a battle-hardened Alpha who is used to getting his way comes up against a stubborn woman set on walling herself from everyone? More than brute strength is needed to break through those walls and reach her. When hidden enemies threaten both their lives, will he be able to reach his Goddess-given gift in time? Or will pride and tempers ruin their last chance at happiness? The Moon Goddess has a plan that neither understands. *** BOOK 1 OF THE FORGOTTEN WOLF SERIES
