In order to keep her safe, Alice and Greyson are forced to get married and go into hiding. Greyson quickly becomes frustrated with Alice. She doesn't listen, fights with him constantly, and drives him to distraction, just like she did when they were teens. Alice couldn't stand how Greyson was so cold and unfeeling. He seemed to always be irritable. Despite their frustrations with each other, they find they are undeniably drawn to each other even with Greyson's determination to keep his distance. The two finally fall into an easy routine where they aren't constantly at each other's throats. Pouring over the books her Grammy Anna had given her before Alice went into hiding, Alice quickly realizes that they hold the knowledge she needs to end the threat to her life.

Now what do they do?

When you are weaker than everyone else, you tend to get singled out by bullies and those who cannot resist teasing. Carly Brooks was no exception, especially since she wore a bracelet that suppressed her wolf side, making her more human than werewolf.

All she knew was that they had been on the run for fifteen years. Months away from her eighteenth birthday and first shift, Carly's world is flipped upside down. The three boys that teased her the most are now protecting her, a stranger is claiming to be her mate, a royal is taking a marked interest in her, and her mother is kidnapped. Nothing makes sense.

She quickly learns that he also plans on taking away her future. Escape is her only option, but even that might not be enough to save her.
