But taking him in could violate inter-pack rules, and no one knows better than Bryn the costs of challenging those rules. Then one night, a badly beaten werewolf shows up on her territory. And she is determined to live differently, to run this pack openly and justly. Yet Bryn has always resented the rules of Pack life - the constant bowing to authority, the submission to the alpha. Together with Chase, Bryn's new love, they had rescued some newly made female werewolves from a despicable master and established their own pack, with Bryn as leader. When Bryn and her closest friends, Dev and Lake, broke from the werewolf Callum's pack, it had all felt right. But she has one major concern that her friends don't have: she is an alpha - a human girl in charge of her own werewolf pack. At seventeen, Bryn is has the usual schoolgirl worries: a new boyfriend, a new school and a new home.
