Kael Anderson lost his future mate and luna, Stephanie, during a rogue attack. Stephanie's death left his entire pack in mourning; her death anniversary was even declared a pack holiday.

Five years later, Kael discovers that Stephanie's younger sister Astrid is his mate. But how can that be? Wasn't Stephanie supposed to be his mate? And would his pack even accept Astrid as his mate and Luna-many have always blamed Astrid for Stephanie's death, because Stephanie died trying to save Astrid.

For her part, Astrid has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister for years. She knows very well that pack members and her parents wish that it was Astrid that died that day instead of Stephanie. Astrid had looked forward to the day that she would meet her mate and finally feel important to someone.

Discovering that her mate is Kael is Astrid's worst nightmare, especially when Kael reacts poorly to the discovery. Astrid decides that she is unwilling to live in Stephanie's shadow any longer. She will not spend the rest of her life with a mate who wishes she was someone else. She rejects Kael, who all too quickly accepts the rejection.

Soon afterwards, horrifying truths come out and Kael immediately regrets letting Astrid go. He sets out to get Astrid back and right the wrongs that have been done. But is it too late? Will Astrid find love with Kael, or with someone else?

I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon. I rolled over and realized that I was beside myself in Astrid's bed.


I stretched and looked at the clock on Astrid's nightstand. It was 12:30 in the afternoon. I got up and walked into Astrid's kitchen, where I found her cooking.


I smiled as I went up behind her, kissing the nape of her neck from behind. She shivered as she turned around to face me.


"Good morning, beautiful. Thank you for letting me sleep."


"I hope you're hungry," she replied as she began to put the food on plates.


Astrid put the plates on the kitchen counter, and she gestured for me to have a seat on one of her bar stools. Instead of sitting down, I pulled her close to me and kissed her again.


Kissing Astrid was quickly becoming one of my biggest addictions. I simply could not get enough. I was relieved and happy that she seemed just as happy to kiss me as I was to kiss her.
