I always thought getting accepted into Elite Order Academy would finally make my family proud. Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore. No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane. The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend. Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone. But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.

Being the next Alpha of the Blood Shadow pack, the strongest pack in the world, he has always been in the limelight and is loving every second of it. However, although all of those are important, he believes that the greatest blessing in life will be meeting his one and only mate. Hera Ahearn, on the other hand, never had any of those.

Growing up, she always heard stories about her mother and how she was ruthlessly killed in a war. So, when she hears that the perpetrators responsible for her mother’s death were in the Blood Shadow pack, she leaves everything behind and vows to take revenge. But what if the incoming Alpha of the Blood Shadow pack is actually her mate? Will she continue to pursue revenge for the sake of her mother, or will she follow her heart and fall in love with her sworn rival? [Sequel to The Alpha's Hidden Child.
