Kael Anderson lost his future mate and luna, Stephanie, during a rogue attack. Stephanie's death left his entire pack in mourning; her death anniversary was even declared a pack holiday.

Five years later, Kael discovers that Stephanie's younger sister Astrid is his mate. But how can that be? Wasn't Stephanie supposed to be his mate? And would his pack even accept Astrid as his mate and Luna-many have always blamed Astrid for Stephanie's death, because Stephanie died trying to save Astrid.

For her part, Astrid has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister for years. She knows very well that pack members and her parents wish that it was Astrid that died that day instead of Stephanie. Astrid had looked forward to the day that she would meet her mate and finally feel important to someone.

Discovering that her mate is Kael is Astrid's worst nightmare, especially when Kael reacts poorly to the discovery. Astrid decides that she is unwilling to live in Stephanie's shadow any longer. She will not spend the rest of her life with a mate who wishes she was someone else. She rejects Kael, who all too quickly accepts the rejection.

Soon afterwards, horrifying truths come out and Kael immediately regrets letting Astrid go. He sets out to get Astrid back and right the wrongs that have been done. But is it too late? Will Astrid find love with Kael, or with someone else?

I am currently at the large memorial/wedding venue with the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma families, and some of their early-arrival out-of-town guests. We are here watching the Omegas and human employees finish decorating for tomorrow's event.


It is admittedly a little odd to invite honored guests to watch the preparations for an event, but Margie saw it as an opportunity to flaunt the expense and details being put into it.


Everyone here is in good spirits, although everyone is happy for different reasons.


For example, Margie and Sheila are happy because they believe that Kael and Shella are getting married tomorrow.


The human employees are happy because their human employer—the owner of the multi-level opera house that will be hosting the combined wedding and memorial event—has promised them large bonuses for helping with this last-minute, ultra-grand affair.
