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?

"Sheila told us that you would say that, Kael, and I can understand why you would think that. Sometimes I have to pretend that Stephanie is with me when I am doing all sorts of things, too. But now that a pup is on the way, you need to be honest with yourself. I know it hurts, but Stephanie died a long time ago. The she-wolf that you have been sleeping with is Sheila, not Stephanie. Sheila has been letting you pretend that she is Stephanie, but that does not mean it is the truth."


"What?!?" I almost could not believe my ears.


I forced Sheila's hand off of my arm and turned her so that I could look her in the eyes.


"What the f**k did you tell them, Sheila?"


Sheila started to tear up. Fake tears, but tears all the same.


"Only the truth, Darling. I know it is hard for you to accept, but it is true. It has been me, not Stephanie, that you have been f**king the past few years. And our love has finally produced a pup!"
