Bryn has finally started to find her place as the alpha of the Cedar Ridge Pack—or at least, she's creating her own version of what it means to lead, considering she’s a human in charge of a group of werewolves. But everything changes when she discovers a teenage boy, bloodied and barely conscious, lying on her front porch. Before collapsing, he tells her his name is Lucas, he's a Were, and the only hope he has left is Bryn’s protection.

The problem is, Lucas isn't part of Bryn’s pack, and claiming another alpha's Were goes against the rules. As old and new threats close in on her from every direction, Bryn is forced to confront the truth Callum, her guardian, always knew: to truly be alpha, she must embrace her animal instincts and let go of what remains of her humanity. And in this battle for survival, she will have to face the challenge alone.

In this thrilling sequel to Raised by Wolves, Bryn will learn the true costs and rewards of love, loyalty, and leadership.
