After being on the run from her abusive ex-boyfriend, Violet knows that there is only one place for her to go to find protection; her childhood home of Blacksprings and The Pack motorcycle club that she grew up in. But the Pack has a secret that they are willing to kill to protect. The Pack is no ordinary motorcycle club, they are generations old werewolves. The Pack's well-guarded secret is put into jeopardy as protecting Violet puts them on the radar of her ex's father Senator Ryder Abbot who is notorious for trying to destroy the 'outlaw' community within America. Violet's life is complicated enough as it is but when she begins to reconnect with her first love Seth and Pack VP it throws all of her well laid plans out of the window. As rival supernaturals the Coyotes make a play for the Pack's territory Violet must work through how far she is willing to go to protect her family and the ones that she loves.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Xander, my voice void of any emotions. I was in my warrior stance in front of the whole pack. Back straight, hands folded in front of me and feet shoulder-width apart. I know I looked composed because that's my training. Be composed; don't lose control. Don't lose the battle. But all I wanted to do was run into his arms. Beg him to reconsider. Promise him that I would be the best for him. "I, Xander Valverde, Future Alpha of The Nightfall Pack reject you Anala Rozinov as my mate." With those words, I felt our bond begin to break. It was agonizing like being whipped and have those wounds have acid poured on them. That burning sensation started in my heart, and I felt it spread throughout my body. I took a shaky breath but remained cold and emotionless. I needed to leave quickly; I need to find somewhere safe. "I, Anala Rozinov, Daughter of Beta Keone Rozinov accept your rejection as your mate," I replied my voice, surprisingly even and cold. "You are now free to join the Alpha King's Army. Please go pack your things and report to my office. The King will be sending someone to collect you." He said, his voice rough with emotions. "Sorry Alpha. But I have decided I will go rogue." There were gasps among the crowd. The Alpha looked appalled this wasn't a part of the plan. No one refused the King. But I refuse to be another playing card for another pack. No more. I want my freedom. If my mate isn't it, I will find my own way.
