Samantha was never meant to survive. Found abandoned at the edge of the wolf pack’s territory, she was a fragile human child in a world of sharp fangs and unbreakable laws.

But no amount of love could change what she was: an outsider. A girl without claws, without a howl. Sienna, the woman’s true daughter, never let her forget it. With whispers of doubt and cruel schemes, she poisoned the pack against Samantha, determined to see her cast out once and for all. But standing between Samantha and her sister’s hatred was Derek the Alpha’s son. He should have ignored her, should have turned his back like the rest. Instead, he became her silent protector, drawn to the fire in her eyes and the strength in her spirit.

Umiling lang si Samantha na parang tuliro. Napamura si Dwyn at tumayo, pilit pinipigilan ang sarili. Ayaw niyang samantalahin ang sitwasyon. Lumabas siya ng kwarto, pumunta sa kusina at uminom ng malamig na tubig para pakalmahin ang sarili.
