Charity was raised to believe that emotions are the greatest weakness in the human body. The only way to effectively protect yourself is to keep your emotions carefully tucked way behind a blank mask. Afterall, that is the only way to survive in this dog-eat-dog world. At the age of 16, Charity is thrown out of her pack and left to survive on her own. She is forced to scavenge, steal, and stay hidden from nearby packs. She does whatever she can to ensure her own survival. Until she met her mate, the soon-to-be Alpha of the RedWood pack. A usually joyous event brings back a flood of memories and emotions for Charity. She struggles with opening up and leaving herself vulnerable to another person, especially after the betrayal of her old pack. She is determined to never let anyone close enough to hurt her again. Charity struggles to escape her mate and continue on with her old life, all the while she is unknowingly leaving herself vulnerable to a much more lethal predator. With her survival on the line, will Charity allow her perfect facade to crumble?
