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?

Nick rolled his eyes. "Fine. Tell yourself that. The thing is, Dude, you are not getting any younger. You rejected your second chance mate; there is no such thing as a third chance mate. You are going to have to take a chosen mate at some point, and it might as well be the mother of your pup."


"You have no idea what you are talking about, Nick. I am not marrying Sheila. Period."


I turned to walk away, but Nick grabbed me by the upper arm.


I looked at him in disbelief. "Why does your mother care so much about who I marry? And why should I care what she thinks?"


"My mom has lost not one, but two pups. Do you have any idea how hard that is to go through? Most of us will never lose one pup, and she has had to deal with the loss of two."
