We aren't typical. I'm not an omega female. We stand proud, tall, and grand. I'm the Alpha of this pack, and my sex does not define my status.
•••
Costella, short for Constellation, that's my name. I'm the head of our small pack. We are not special, we do not lead the werewolf world; we are not the underdogs, we do not fall below anyone but The Alpha. We are the average house of the average overall packtown.
I'm in waiting, no I'm not a lady in waiting, but I am patiently allowing my mate to come to me. Whether he, or she, be an omega or a beta, I would love them undoubtedly. My loyalty as a wolf, no, as a person, would allow me to throw aside any wrongdoing of my mate. They will be perfect.
And that's the mindset with which I met Lake. He was beautiful, hair a crisp white, eyes an iced over blue. He was imperfect, however. He had but one flaw;
He was an Alpha.
After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
