Layla Matthews was happy enough, why wouldn't she be? She had a wonderful pack that had taken her in when she was orphaned as a baby, her friends loved her and she was adored by everyone. Maybe a little too much. On the day of her friend, Mia's 17th birthday, a drunken mistake changes Layla's life forever. Humiliated, exiled and now alone, she flees from her past, and straight into Dean. The Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, and coincidentally Layla's mate. But Layla isn't about to give in so easily, she's always been a fighter and a hormone crazed ( yet irresistible ) Alpha isn't about to change that. But with war right on their doorstep, her past coming to haunt her, and the blood of her loved ones being shed will Layla be able to resist her connection to Dean ? More importantly, will they all survive?
