Alex is a Given. Chosen by The Goddess at birth for a special reason. As a Given, shes born with a green and brown eye, though her parents didn’t care for it, her grandfather protected her with colored contacts, for no one should know of her powers. She always wondered why her blood was translucent and shimmered gold, or why it never hurt when her dad broke her ribs.
A Given wolf is sent to Earth with a purpose, they cannot feel physical pain, and have different abilities varying from wolf to wolf. Alexs purpose is to teach a certain Alpha a lesson, the same Alpha who had ordered the previous Beta, her father, to kill her mother for speaking the truth, two months after Alex fled the pack, after setting the pack house on fire. For speaking against the disrespect and hatred towards the women of the Eastern Woods pack. But at this point, Alex has met her own Alpha, her mate, someone she wishes she never had met, the reason she takes pills every week, to mask her scent and avoid the man she's destined to be with, in fear of bringing him into her twisted life. Living in a mixed town (human/werewolf), where her best friend Tyler was waiting, was a place where she could buy time before she planned her attack on her old Alpha Jackson.. Alex and Tyler kept in touch and now, shes going to meet him in Birchton, a small town surrounded by three powerful packs.
Damien Knightly is a secret softie, with a hardcore exterior who is keen on making Alex his, whether she wants to or not. But Damien isn't letting her go that easily. Even if it means reeling her in by kidnapping.
What happens when this bad-ass, girl who illegally boxes underground in her spare time, meets her mate who won't let her slip through his fingers. Hearts will be broken, blood will be shed but love will also be formed. How will this Given will handle her life being turned upside down, thrown off a cliff, stomped on, killed, resuscitated then healed with love.
Eve has always been an independent wolf within her pack. She doesn't like much to be defended or treated like she can't take care of herself. It's for that reason that when Jay, a descendent in the Alpha bloodline, tries to make her his mate that no one believes she is not his. To them it is her attempt at maintaining her independence rather than giving into her mate. The problem is, Jay isn't her mate. None of the current pack members are; because her mate is Tristan, a human.
Eve understands the danger in her forbidden love and tries for years to stay away but always gets drawn back in. Her best friend and pack Beta, Chris, encourages her to go after her mate not considering what consequences can stem from it. Eve wants to be with Tristan more than anything. Tristan wants to get his final shot at the girl who makes him feel whole. And Jay wants Eve; at all costs.
As if they all didn't have enough problems, someone is making it their goal to kill wolves. The pack has their suspicions on who it is but when the answer is revealed it is something none of them ever saw coming.
Forbidden Love. Hatred. Anger. Exile. Death. The lives of this pack and of Tristan are all about to change, for better or worse. And in the end, some wolves may not be running again...
