22 years ago, when Caterina was nothing more than a grapefruit sized fetus, a pandemic turned the world werewolves had known upside down. She-woves across the globe fell sick to this virus. Unfortunately, not all she-wolves survived. And, as the birth rate of pups quickly plummeted to zero, it was soon realized that those who had lived-from babes to adultes-had been rendered infertile from the virus. For a time, the solution was to take up humans as mates to keep the werewold population from during out. But the problem in that-wolves would still die out once the genes were diluted from constant human breeding. The only she-wolves safe from the virus's ill-fate were those in their mother's womb, just waiting to be brought into this world when the pandemic swept the country. This realization came to be 11 years after the pandemic, and now Caterina and the few she-wolves like her became thek hunted. Their fertility turning them into an exotic they every male wolf wanted, but not all could have. As Caterina lived in the shadows and on the run, she wondered if she would ever find her Mate to bear him pups...or would she be caught, shared and bread by a pack first?
