Being a woman in a man's world has always been hard. Whether it came to politics, work, or just every day life, being a woman could be hard. It was even harder to try and lead in a man dominated world. Men were the leaders in every aspect of life. They led the pack, the council, appointed other men to lead below them and fight. Woman were seen as beings that needed to be protected and stand behind their male. Andrew Danielson just didn't see it that way. He was alpha of Silent Ash, a pack who resided in the deep southern part of the United States. His luna, who before her untimely death, had only bore him one child. Nicole Danielson. She was Andrew's pride and joy, and the current Alpha of Silent Ash. She needed no one but her beta and gamma, Lance Richards and James Witten to help her lead. She was a force to reckon with, and she intended for all the alphas to know it. Her journey of being one of the only reigning female alphas in the United States proved to be hard. It was full of ridicule from other men, thinking the female too weak and in her feelings to run the pack smoothly. She intended nothing more than to show them wrong. Although her father agreed, he still believed she needed her mate to reach her full potential. So when Aldrich Branson, the feared, but respected alpha of Nightshade, the largest pack in the western part of the United States, comes to her asking for help, her entire world is turned upside down.
