The entire American landmass, from Canada to South America, is being taken over by one Pack. The Alpha Kale either wipes out each Pack or takes it over. This kind of warefare hasn’t been for hundreds of years.
Alphas and their families destroyed. Other supernatural species are being hunted down.
Julia killed an Alpha when she was sixteen, the same year she got pregnant, which more or less guaranteed that she'd become Alpha by the time she was twenty five. Because the Elders believed she was too childish, too young, too inexperienced, she's been training in secret to become the future Alpha of one of the smallest Packs in the world. She's still a little childish, a little stubborn, passionate, and has temper issues but loves the idea of free love and peace. Sort of. Except that what her Pack is facing now is going to go against everything she wants to achieve for her Pack.
Being in Australia, the effects of what her husband's uncle, Kale, is doing isn't felt quite as strongly. They are realistically too small to stop him, at least at first, but it won't be long before he comes for the only Pack that ever escaped his fighters.
And on top of that, she's mama to two six year olds and two four year olds, married to two men who are impossible, and has to somehow accept that her kids are already starting school when she really hasn't grown up herself.
Julia hasn't quite grown up herself or really come to terms with this powerful position she found herself in by accident. Hasn't quite settled into her new life as Alpha-in-training. But with the Pack's survival resting on Julia now...
It's going to be a busy year.
Julia, just months from becoming a full-werewolf, is now halfway through her pregnancy, has officially hooked up with the father of her babies ...sort of... and on the run from the Alpha that destroyed her Pack.
Her Pack, having escaped an attempt to destroy them and having suffered some terrible loss in the process, have abandoned their home that they've owned for generations and are following her Alpha to a an Island in Australia, with new werewolves, new wildlife, new slang, and isolation. Beautiful safe isolation.
Julia hopes this means it's the end of stress, fights or conflict for her and her babies. Hopes this will be a fun adventure. That nothing will go wrong and that from now on, the pregnancy, the werewolf thing and the babies will be all easy sailing. Right? Safe territory, safe Pack, hospital with drugs within plane or boat ride, and she's hooked up with a good looking guy who she adores. That's all a girl wants, right? So why does she feel so uneasy and uncertain about all of this?
