As Zeke pursues Bliss, she must confront her dark past and the emotional scars that haunt her.

Jackson understands too late what he threw aside as foes near and treason threaten his pack. But as he finds out about his kids, old scars come back and rivals hiding in the shadows start to stir. Jackson has to choose whether he would fight for the family he unintentionally built or let darkness take over everything considering the possibility of losing everything. Ava's life is thrown back into peril; one mistake might ruin both of them.
