Axel Blackwood's life crumbled in an instant. A ruthless pack's surprise attack claimed the lives of everyone he held dear, including his family, friends, and loyal companions. Tragically, even his mate chose to forsake him and unite with the Alpha responsible for his pack's destruction, just moments before his own demise. As he believed he had hit rock bottom, he awoke in a stranger's embrace, given a second chance at love. However, his broken heart was too fragile to bear the weight of a mating bond. On the verge of rejecting this new connection, he discovered that Cora Huxley, too, faced her own struggles, much like himself. In a terrifying turn of events, while spending a night with Cora in the woods, they were ambushed. The violence left him seething with anger, as he nearly lost her in the attack. Fueled by this rage, he realized that peace was no longer an option for him. Determined to reclaim what was stolen from him, Axel knew he needed allies. Could he gain the trust of Cora's Alpha and their pack to seek justice? Overcoming such a formidable force that had once defeated him seemed an insurmountable task.
