Prologue

Grace“So, where’s the little runt?”It wasn’t just the words but the smug, cutting tone that made Grace cringe inside. Caspian McCloud didn’t need anyone to tell him where she was; the second he crossed their front door, he already knew.He was a werewolf, for crying out loud, and not just any werewolf, but the alpha’s son. He probably caught her scent halfway down the driveway.Why he even cared to acknowledge her existence was beyond her. She still couldn’t wrap her head around why he and her adoptive brother were such good friends. What made it worse was the way Austin acted like Caspian’s every move was pure gold, like the guy could do no wrong.It drove her absolutely insane. But what power did she have to stop it? In pack rank, she was basically a ghost. She was only counted as part of the pack out of pity because of her so‑called “handicap,” as her adoptive parents politely named it.They were just being kind. She was broken.“Where else do you think?” she heard Austin reply.

Chapter 1

GraceExhaustion tugged at Grace's limbs. The last few weeks of ten-hour shifts at Utah Valley Hospital were beginning to affect her. But that wasn't the end of her day. No, in a way, she felt like her second shift began the moment she set foot through the door of the second-story apartment she called home."How was he?" she asked the babysitter none too enthusiastically. She could already tell by the look on the sitter's face that it hadn't gone well.For eight long years, Grace and her son Blake had been fine on their own. Blake had the same sitter for all that time. Then, the last two years changed everything. They had been through more sitters than she cared to count."E-everything was fine until I asked him to get ready for bed," the woman said. The terror in her eyes told Grace she was lucky to find her still at the apartment.The way the young woman clutched to her forearm made Grace nervous. "What happened? Are you hurt?" She didn't even need to see the still-bleeding scratche

Chapter 2

CaspianThe paperwork in front of Caspian was a disaster. The pack’s finances were in shambles, and he had no idea how his father had hidden the problems for so long. No wonder rival packs smelled their weakness, his pack had been blind to it.The more he read, the angrier he became. His father had trained him to be alpha but never trusted him with the organization. Maybe that lack of order was why the numbers weren’t adding up. Some of the paperwork looked like gibberish, likely a code to protect his father’s interests. But now that he was dead, what good did that do Caspian?The knock at the door was the last thing he needed. He had ordered no interruptions. Weeks had passed since his father’s death, and he still hadn’t gained full control. Not that he’d let his pack see that."Come in," he gritted out.The door to his office opened, and in walked Austin Olivers, his second-in-command. The big, burly werewolf scoffed. "Still on that?"Caspian sighed, shoving the papers aside. "I’ve

Chapter 3

GraceGrace was only half-relieved when she made it to her adopted mother’s front door in Black Diamond without incident. The small house at the edge of Black Diamond, nestled into the trees that grew around the base of the nearest mountain, almost looked lonely compared to the apartment buildings and townhouses she had been used to renting for so long.Driving through town was the least of her worries; the real trouble would come if anyone saw her unpacking the car. That was only one reason she had arrived as early in the day as possible. Werewolves had a habit of being night owls, and the fewer eyes around, the better.“I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am to have you home at last!” Brenda exclaimed after she opened the front door and dragged Grace and Blake into the kitchen of the three-bedroom townhouse.Brenda embraced Grace for what might have been a few seconds or even an eternity. Grace hugged her back, inhaling the familiar scents of home. For several seconds, she all

Chapter 4

CaspianIt had only been a few days since Austin advised Caspian to take a luna, but the rest of the pack wasn’t letting their alpha forget it.As Caspian wandered through Black Diamond, minding his own business, he was stopped at every corner—asked how he was doing, what his plans were, and when he would choose a luna.All he had wanted was a quick trip to the grocery store, something he’d done a thousand times before. But ever since becoming alpha, even that had become impossible.There was always someone needing his attention, seeking his advice, or offering their services.He wished they would just leave him alone.Not for the first time, he considered giving up his claim to the alphaship, but guilt gnawed at him every time the thought crossed his mind.What would his father think?Caspian had spent his life in his father’s shadow, striving to be the perfect heir. But now that he had taken over, he realized he had never truly considered what it would mean.He had also never antic

Chapter 5

GraceWhy couldn't she have just waited for her mother to pop into the grocery store? It wasn't like having no milk for your coffee was a dire emergency. But Grace had been back home a few days now and felt awkward for not pulling her weight around the house. Picking up milk and bread was the least she could do for her family.And why did she have to run right into the very last person she wished to bump into? The very first time she ventured from the house, no less.For the entire ten-minute walk home—which had become somewhat of a panicked run since her encounter—Grace could not rid herself of the warm, tingling sensation that covered her entire body. Nor could she rid herself of the heaviness in her heart at having seen Caspian after so long. He was her biggest reason for not returning to Black Diamond. He was the ghost haunting her everywhere she turned, and being back in the hollow only made that sensation ten times worse.His proximity, just knowing he was in town, was driving G

Chapter 6

CaspianCaspian hadn't imagined Grace's presence in Black Diamond. He couldn't have, because she stood before him as pale as a ghost, her hand clutching the handle of her mother's front door as if she might rip the damn thing off its hinges.She was just as beautiful as ever, with her curling locks of strawberry-blond hair pulled back in a messy bun, several curls framing her heart-shaped face. Her body was thicker, with curvier hips than when he last saw her, though the thinness of her face hinted that the last few years had been stressful for her. It lent a wisdom and severity to her appearance that made Caspian's heart sink."So it was you," Caspian said under his breath, though the way Grace's face twitched suggested that she had heard him.At least he knew now that he hadn't been imagining things. But now he stood there, staring at her, entirely unsure of what to say. The largest part of him screamed at him to be dominant, to remind her that he was the alpha and she had no right

Chapter 7

GraceIt had been several hours since Caspian's sudden visit to the house, and Grace was still reeling. Though she had wanted to leave immediately, she couldn't bring herself to do it after seeing him standing there on the porch. She told herself it was because she had never run from people's opinions of her, but deep down, she knew that wasn't entirely true. After all, she had been running with Blake ever since the day she had left Black Diamond.She sat on the couch in the den with her feet tucked under her and a glass of wine in hand. Mulling over her options and still shaking after Caspian's visit, she could only feel relieved that Blake had gone to bed easily.Lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed her mother's arrival in the room until she was about to sit on the couch beside her."Want to talk?" Brenda asked.Grace shook her head."Fine, then I shall. What was that all about on the porch earlier?"Grace cringed, cursing her mother's werewolf hearing."Nothing.""It didn't sou

Chapter 8

- CaspianBrooding in his office, Caspian struggled to stop thinking of Grace and her son. He had far more important things to think about, like the health and security of his pack and his own place as their alpha. Then there was the constant pressure he felt to find a mate to ensure the pack’s security for generations to come.And yet, his mind kept reeling right back around to Grace. Her strawberry-blond curls, green eyes, freckles. She hadn't changed a bit, save for growing even more curvaceous than she had been at eighteen.Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the green fire of her own eyes blazing back at him. She had looked at him with such defiance, even disdain, but there had been something behind that wall. Something he couldn't quite put his finger upon. And it infuriated him no end.Then there was the boy. What was she playing at, bringing another wolf's offspring into his territory? His hackles rose at the thought of it. What would the rest of his pack think if they learn

Chapter 9

Austin dipped his head, and Caspian could feel the man’s wolf submitting to him. “I understand, alpha. Forgive me. I simply didn’t think it important, what with Grace not truly being a wolf.”Caspian understood that reasoning. How could he not? He had spent all his childhood and teenage years reminding Grace that she wasn’t truly part of the pack. Yet another thing that made guilt claw at his insides.But then he said, “But the boy is a wolf.”Austin’s gaze whipped up to meet his again. “He’s just a boy. He’s no threat.”“Any wolf who enters my territory without my knowledge is a threat,” Caspian snapped. “Especially now with my security as alpha so uncertain, as you have pointed out to me many times.”Austin’s face fell slightly, and Caspian knew his friend understood. With a deep sigh, Caspian said, “Forget it. It is done now. As far as anyone needs to know, they are welcome.”Caspian simply didn’t have the strength to argue with his best friend anymore. He needed his second now mor
