They don't know her name, so they call her The Shadow. She lurks in the darkness of the night, stealing from Alphas and laughing in their faces as to how easy it was for her to get as close as the width of her finger to the most powerful being for miles without a single scratch on her skin. Some say she belonged to a pack once, some call her a rogue- but how can a savage omega have such discipline and balance to her skillful crimes as she?
Anastasia Beauregard held an intimidating reputation as The Shadow, but no one truly knows her history. At five years old, her pack was mysteriously destroyed by a fire, claiming to have no survivors. Ana was able to escape and live on her own all these years, and packs around the world wonder what exactly happened to the Delemont Pack and why that fire happened. As descendants of the original Alpha and Luna of the Delemont Pack, they seemed to be one of the strongest packs in their generation. Too little to know why her pack was destroyed, she only remembers vivid scenes of the horrific death of her people. One phrase from her father just moments before the destruction she can recall, "Survive, Anastasia. Depend on no one, seek no help, just survive."
And that she has.
Alpha Alister Hood laughed at the mention of The Shadow. She had struck every powerful pack in North America but his, which obviously made him confident in the fact that she was intimidated by the most powerful pack on the continent. I mean, who wasn't intimidated by The Montreaux Pack? They were strong, they outnumbered any pack by at least one hundred wolves, and while they had many allies they also held no mercy for traitors. He also had his pack's pure descendant blood coursing through his veins. His heritage, demeanor, and pack deemed him untouchable.
Little did Alpha Alister Hood know, her arrival was yet to come... and she was sure to make her appearance a great one.
Adelaide meets her mate on the day she turns eighteen. However, she has a secret that no one knows about, not even her best friend. How long will she be able to keep this secret from her mate? And what will happen when he finds out?

I never heard him make a sound, so his voice makes me jump as I hear him say "I can smell him on you" from right behind me. I turn around and dread fills me as I look into his dark eyes. They're glowing from the light from the fridge. I stumble over my thoughts but manage to squeak out "I thought you were out on a mission for your Alpha?"
"I finished, and now I'm back." His eyes boring a hole through my head. "And I can tell that you've been slutting it up" he says with a look that makes me tremble.
I start to shake my head, to try and persuade him that I haven't been doing anything wrong, but he forcefully grabs my jaw and stops me from shaking it. "You really shouldn't lie to me Adelaide, now I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson" he spits out at me.

This isn't you typical story about werewolves, but I love the idea of mates, so follow these young adults on their journey with a supernatural twist.
