Seven years ago, the daughter of the most powerful Alpha in the werewolf community vanished without a trace.
No scent.
No witnesses.
No body.
Just an empty space that never healed.
At eleven years old, **Zariah King** disappeared during a pack celebration, leaving an entire community searching for answers. For years, her parents refused to give up hope. For years, her best friend, **Zion Carter**, searched for the girl he couldn't forget.
Then, seven years later, she comes home.
Alive.
But the girl who left isn't the same one who returned.
Now eighteen, Zariah is haunted by fragmented memories, hidden scars, and questions no one can answer. She remembers her family. She remembers her name. But she can't remember where she's been-or why she was taken.
As the community celebrates the miracle of her return, Zariah uncovers a chilling truth: she wasn't the only child who disappeared.
For years, young wolves have been vanishing from the community.
Forgotten children.
Ignored children.
Children no one fought for the way they fought for her.
Determined to uncover the truth, Zariah finds herself pulled into a dangerous mystery that reaches deeper than anyone imagined. A mystery tied to a man believed dead. A secret society hidden from the world. And a betrayal buried within the very community sworn to protect its own.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull she feels toward Zion-the boy who was once her closest friend and the man fate has chosen as her mate.
With old secrets resurfacing, loyalties tested, and a community on the verge of tearing itself apart, Zariah must decide who she can trust before the truth destroys everything she loves.
Because some children were never lost.
They were taken.
And someone is still hiding the reason why.
