His very own Luna to stand and rule by his side. However fate hadn't been so kind. Years had passed since Lorenzo turned 16 and now he was at the age of 29, with little to no hope of finding his mate.

And the first step towards that, was freedom. As joyful and sweet the idea of both Lorenzo and Emery being mates sounds, fate can be cruel sometimes. Especially for humble Emery, who had the intention of starting a new, independent life. For Lorenzo, he was blessed with the outspoken, yet shy beauty, named Emery, who mistakenly stumbles onto his territory.

As for Emery, she ran away from her abusive old pack, looking for happiness and freedom. Unfortunately for her, the day she musters up enough courage to leave her abusive pack behind, she gets entangled into a possessive Alpha, who turns out to be her mate. Will Emery stop running and give in to Alpha Arcadios deadly charm? Or will she fight the bond with all she has?
