Descendant of shapeshifting wolves tied to the full moon, created out of the result of a massacre during 1906 Brownsville Atlanta, Georgia, Kareem Johnson Jr. is left out on the ends after most of his pack have already imprinted. One night, as he walks his dog in Atlanta, a unique scent captures his attention-a woman named Alyina Haywire, who recently moved from Michigan to Georgia after her Nanna's passing. Unaware of an oncoming car, Kareem rescues her just in time, and in that moment, his world stops and his body has a mind of its own, reacting to every touch, sound, and taste she provides.
He imprints on her. Finally. And she happens to be Deaf.
Desiring to be near her, always at her side, and available for her needs, Kareem proposes a proposition that would satisfy their mutual cravings, especially his own. But as a private man, Kareem struggles between keeping Alyina to himself or revealing the world to her, fearing she'd run away once learning the truth. This leads to withholding a significant aspect of his identity, choosing to let their relationship develop organically in a complicated world she wasn't a part of. Meanwhile, Alyina, a woman with her own complex history, faces the challenge of adapting to a new city while pursuing her dream of becoming an animator.
The looming question remains: will Alyina choose to stay once she discovers Kareem's true nature? And when their troubled past resurfaces, bringing danger in its wake, will their bond pass the test?

My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette.
"Look at me."
I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it.
He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word.
I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it.
"You're blind."

Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it.
What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is?
