Bela Whitestone, the future alpha of the Whitestone pack, is battling with stress and anxiety as he approaches his 17th birthday. The weight of his responsibilities looms over him as he now has to deal with finding his mate - just another thing expected of him by his parents. His world comes toppling down when he discovers his mate is none other than the schools heavily pierced bad boy, Alex Kennedy.
Alex defies everything Bela is expected to want in a partner-he's more dominating, muscular, and assertive, which would never be allowed from an alpha. Regardless of this, Bela finds himself in a secret relationship, juggling pretending to be the perfect alpha son, and breaking down in Alex's arms with the pressure. With Alex, Bela can finally breathe, he can let someone else finally take the reigns and be in control, he doesn't have to make any more decisions by himself. The moment is bittersweet as they navigate the complexities of their relationship amidst the expectations of their pack; Bela must learn to balance his responsibilities with the peace Alex brings to his life, all while keeping their love hidden from a world that wouldn't understand.
