The plan was to abduct to Hunter's daughter so they could make a civil trade to get his dad's body and the other captured pack members back, but that plan goes out the window when she turns out to be the Alpha's mate and he bites her. Blake Archer watched her mom get murder right in front of her by a Werewolf when she was 13, and for the past ten years her father has been trying to hunt down the beast who did it. Evander Connor wasn't supposed to take over the role of alpha from his father for another 10-20 years, so when he wakes up in the middle of the night with a searing pain and the mark of the alpha on his chest, he doesn't have much of a choice.
