Alpha Charles Redmen holds a strict belief in the ruthless nature of werewolves, believing they should possess immense strength and authority. He instills these values in his children, including his son Alpha Cole Redmen, who is the sixthborn from Charles and Luna Sara Mae, the leaders of the Red Fang pack. Born premature, Cole faced immediate rejection as his parents deemed him weak and unworthy. As he grew up, his father's animosity and abuse extended beyond him, turning him into a scapegoat for the sadistic members of the pack who enjoyed witnessing his suffering. Those around him were either afraid or distant, leaving Cole with few allies and a lonely existence. Alpha Demetri Black, the head of the sanctuary pack Crimson Dawn, has been on the lookout for wolves in need, despite not having received many applicants through their warrior's prospect program. When Cole, malnourished and injured, arrives at Demetri's pack, his anxious and submissive behavior lands him in the midst of an unfamiliar alpha's scrutiny. Despite his dire circumstances, fate brings Cole into contact with his long-lost Luna, the one person who could potentially offer him a way out of the harrowing life he was born into. With his eighteenth birthday marking the beginning of his search for a better life, Cole now faces the question: Will he find the courage to leave his pack behind and embrace the love and acceptance he has always craved?
