Elena Clarence has lived in a world where the "pack always comes first." She is the first daughter of the first Alpha in her heritage line and tradition says that she has to marry into an outlying pack; a pack that is strong, dependable, and second to their own. However, she has her own plans and that does not involve marrying a complete stranger. She wants more out of life than being with her pack forever and she'll go to great lengths to have what she wants. Little does she know, a visitor has come to their home from one of the outlying packs and is there for one purpose and one purpose only. Eric Knight lives in content with the tradition of how his father's pack has been run and respects that he must marry the first daughter of the fist pack. He resumes responsibilities after his father's passing and travels to the first pack after the Alpha comes to visit him. In arriving, he learns of the first daughter, Elena Clarence, and has yet to see her. He hears of her defiance against her father and becomes intrigued with meeting her and finding out what makes her so very different from the rest of her pack. He plans on marrying Elena as soon as possible, but fate has other plans for him. Little do both of them know that other forces are present and both are in for a twist they never saw coming. Who's life will be lost? What lines will be crossed? And, will Elena survive knowing all that she will come to know?
