On the night of her transition, Harper Shen is cruelly rejected and banished by her alpha, by her mate. Mateo Fox doesn't want her, and he no longer wants her in his pack. For seven years, Harper has had no choice but to live with that rejection. She is part of a new pack now, and she has finally made a life for herself, and she is trying to forget the man who ruined her life.
Mateo was not going to mate with a young girl. Harper was too innocent and the pack would have eaten her alive. For the last seven years, he'd been visiting her new pack without her knowing, just so he could be closer, inhale her scent, and allow his wolf to know some semblance of peace.
This visit is different. On the way to Harper's new pack, he picks up a scent and follows it to a human bar. That's where he sees his mate for the first time in seven years. The smell of her, the beauty—she is not the young girl he rejected, but a woman.
Harper will not forgive. She will not give in to Mateo. He broke her heart, crushed her spirit, and now she has finally been able to make a life for herself. But she may not have a choice. The full moon is approaching and this is the first time she will be close to her real mate, and she has no idea what their wolves are going to do. She doesn't know if she is going to be able to stop it.
Will she give into the mating? Will Mateo finally win her trust? Or are they doomed to fail?
