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?

What I expected when I agreed to go out drinking and dancing with Charlotte:


– A happy distraction from the stress associated with Kael preparing to marry Sheila


– Maybe having to fend off a little bit of male attention


– Having to spend 20 minutes before I left reassuring Kael that I was not being reckless by wearing that black dress to a bar; that my plans for the night only involved a little bit of fun with Charlotte; and that I was not going out looking for male attention


– Having to spend one-third of the night watching Charlotte dance and make out with a famous hockey player that was in town; one-third of the night comforting Charlotte while she cried; and the final third dealing with everything else that happened


– Having to break the arm of a human who would not take no for an answer
