Deep in the woods, beyond the gate, roams a pack of vicious monsters that will devour your heart and have your soul for dessert. At least, that's what sixteen year old Adeline Grey has been led to believe... Twenty-five years prior to Adeline's birth, a virus swept across the country, killing many and transforming others into wolfish beasts. Only a scarce number of towns were left untouched, but their nightmare had only just begun. While these communities survived the virus, they were suddenly left to defend themselves against night attacks by wolves, and raids by rogue citizens, trying to get by away from civilization. Adeline is lucky to live in a town that is well protected and large enough to thrive on it's own. Her Father is Mayor, and her mother does her best to shield her from the horrors outside the gate, but one night the unthinkable happens...Adeline's Mother is taken from the town and thought to be dead soon after. Adeline's Father eventually remarries, but it's to a horrible woman who bares him a son that she hardly wants anything to do with. Adeline is left caring for her young half brother, but tragedy strikes once more when he disappears beyond the gate while Adeline was supposed to be looking after him. A defining moment arrives in her life; she must choose to either go home to face her family, or venture out into the woods alone to save her brothers life.

After too many brawls, foul-mouthed remarks, and one too many "disciplinary reviews," Raine Donovan is forced to transfer to Cypress Ridge-a forgotten speck on the map with more dirt roads then cell towers. She's got a new uniform, a K9 certification her therapist swears will help her with her PTSD, and one rule: keep her head down and her fists to herself. But Cypress Ridge isn't the quiet backwater it appears to be. The woods hum with unease. Locals whisper about "rogues" and things the hunt under the full moon. Something in the air feels sharper-wilder-and Raine can't shake the sense that she's being watched. The most unsettling presence of all is Mason: the town's reclusive and magnetic leader. Everyone calls him "Alpha," though Raine figures it's just small-town macho nonsense. What she doesn't know is that Mason isn't entirely human-and he's been trapped in his wolf form for months, forced to rule from the shadows while an unseen threat circles closer. As danger tightens its grip on Cypress Ridge, Raine's instincts scream that she's not just an outsider here-she's a target. The deeper she digs, the more her buried past starts to claw free, and the harder it becomes to ignore the strange pull between her and Mason. Secrets. Love. Danger.
