Disappointment. Neglect. Isolation. These are the things that Penelope has learned to accept as constants in her life as she is forced to rely on no one but herself. But when she discovers on the night of her eighteenth birthday that she isn't quite human, her entire understanding of the world turns on its head as she finds herself at the mercy of Rafe, the mysterious leader of a pack of werewolves. Seemingly more alone than she has ever been, she must learn to adapt to her new life as she is taken under the Alpha's wing.
