After a painful break up with her childhood sweetheart, Allara had to leave her pack, her father and her life behind. She moved to the city, got a new job and a brand new start. It was the only way to heal her broken heart.
Then Reid barges back into her life... and he comes with some terrible news.
Allara's father, the Alpha, is dying. The chosen leader is a cruel beta with plans to destroy their pack. As a female Alpha herself, Allara is the only chance the pack has to survive Jaime. Against her better judgment, Reid wrangles his way into her heart once again and convinces her to go back home.
Pack life hasn't really changed, and seeing Reid everyday is a special type of torture. If only she'd stayed in the city. If only she'd never set eyes on Reid again. If only her father wasn't so sick. If only, if only...
If only Reid hadn't let the Alpha convince him to break Allara's heart. He'd regretted it every day since. But he must put those feelings aside to save the pack that adopted him at birth, even if it tears his soul every time he catches Allara's sweet scent or witnesses her dazzling smile. He doesn't deserve a second chance. Not with a woman like her.
Can Allara overcome the pain of her past while saving the pack she was born to lead? Or will she be forever tortured by the promise of a man that shattered her life, her heart and her future.
