Marcella was raised to be strong, resilient, and just. She is a warrior, a loyal friend, and a trusted companion of her Alpha; is used to protecting her pack and those close to her. Unlike most of the women in the werewolf packs, she was granted the choice and could decide about her path and her future. She doesn't dream of finding a mate and is content with her life as a Gamma of the Firestorm Pack. But when fate makes her stand face to face with her true mate, Marcella doesn't back down, knowing that her life will now change forever. Werewolf Laws are ultimate and brutal. It is a custom for a Luna to follow her Alpha, for a woman to submit to a male, but Marcella wasn't trained for a kitchen but for a battle, and now the greatest battle in her life is about to start. Battle for the right to self-determination, freedom, and rejection, and she will never give in, even if the price for that will be a broken heart, going rogue, and wounds so deep they may never heal. Everything she stands for is at stake. Those who were supposed to protect her become her worst nightmare; those she despises are her chance for survival, and as an unexpected attachment starts to grow, Marcella is about to discover that rejection comes with a price and that those who reject Goddess Gift will always be punished. But no matter the punishment, Marcella will not stop. She may be trapped, but she will not cease fighting until she is free or dead, because there is no third option.

How do they deal with their offspring when things invariably go south, and keep an even keel in their own loving relationship ? And what promise did one particular heart give to another, and, more importantly, can it keep it ?
