Nick made hard decisions, but it would never prepare him for the most challenging choices yet to come. Evelyn thought she had it all, that she knew what her future held. Just like most females of her kind. She would find and marry her mate if he didn't choose one of his others. She refused to accept that she could become a rejected childless female, always having to be on the move. All Eve wanted was a loving mate who cared for her and their children. She didn't wish to follow in her father's footsteps and become a leader in a pointless war. Nicholas realized that Evelyn was one of his choices long before Eve was ever aware. This made it more accessible, taking her as his own. Nicholas came intoxicated by this she-wolf before forcing himself to move on to his next choice. What happens when Evelyn finally realizes who he was supposed to be? How will she come to terms with the truth and the reality of her situation?
