Bailey is a sweet girl, about to turn 21. She in not your normal young adult, teen angst, about to be allowed to drink to her hearts content. Nope, because life is not that easy. Or Fair! no, on the eve of her 15th birthday something happened, making her have to grow up quickly, take charge of her pack, and make her stop talking. Now, she is a mute werewolf, that lost her parents, and has been the first female Alpha, not Luna, but the Alpha of one of the biggest packs in Midwest USA in over a century. As the winter inches nearer, so does Bailey's meaning in life.
Sam has always had it rough. they were kicked out of their pack at the age of 18, forced to be a rogue. 5 years later they are about to come across the last pack in the Midwest. Sam isn't scared of other wolves, but they are scared to find their mate. They witnessed their father beat their mother daily, they only knew that as love and was scared of any and all males. When they were born they had the mark of a Placement on them, meaning they knew that their mate would be an Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Delta. They hope that it is a Delta because they are the lowest of the Placement Ranks.
What will happen when Bailey and Sam meet?
Will they love each other?
Will they forget their pasts for their future?
or will they fall apart, and live in the shadows of their pasts?
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
