Escaping her birth pack with a child sentenced to death, Aimi runs to the Westboro pack, where rumors of the female alpha, Maeleigh, give her hope in finding sanctuary for them both. Only, instead of her finding them, they've found her first.




AJ's led a life that would earn him a place in hell a few times over, but he's trying to change that. Even if it means playing errand boy for the Westboro alpha, a woman he's tried to kill once before. Upon finding Aimi on the side of the road, he first just sees a pack defector looking to bring their problems to his own home.




When he learns that the Lycan he scents is actually the baby she's traveling with and not hers, his own protective instincts will emerge, along with other feelings he never thought possible for him. Or worthy of.




Maeleigh offers Aimi and the baby room in the Westboro pack, but it's just another problem she and her friends will need to figure out together. For she's lost touch with her mother, the Goddess Danu, and the Dark God is still up to something, using the traitorous Lycan, Pierce, for his evil plans. No one can figure out what his end game is, but Maeleigh will have to deal with her newfound queen status of the Unseelie first. After avoiding her duties since the late queen's death, she will finally take an active role as their leader.




As tension rises within the pack and as untrustworthy guests arrive in the compound, Maeleigh has her work cut out for her. It doesn't help that the baby that Aimi has brought with her is linked to the hybrid queen somehow.
