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... *Dedicated to my best friend Elizabeth!!
