As a last resort, the Luna entrusts the newborn heir of the pack to her best friend. Now it's up to Alice to keep him safe. Her new life consists only of keeping him alive at all costs. She promised. She swore an oath. Even if the cost is her own future, her own mate. But how long can she remain unseen in the world of heightened senses and trained assassin trackers?

Her life was meant to be a song. That's what her mother used to say. And she believed it. For a time. Only, instead of the catchy, funky pop song with an edge it used to be; it's now looking to be more of a depressing country song, headed for sad elevator playlists. But, beggars can't be choosers. Isn't that what they say? Saint Emery dreams of escaping her county controlled, group home life. And she has a plan. It depends on her music. It got her in to the most exclusive prep school in town on a full ride. And it can certainly get her to college. And beyond. And if she could somehow catch the eye or the heart of her best friend in the world, that would be even better. But guys like Crew James, football god and son of a high profile senator, don't end up with girls from the group home. Even if he is the very best thing in her disheveled little world. Even if his father is the keeper of one of her darkest secrets. Even if he is the reason for her senior year being the worst year of her life.Even then. She would still take him. In any way she could. Because her life is a song. And this one, doesn't have a happy ending without him.…

Ares Lewis is an ok name I guess. It's the only name I have ever known, the name they gave me when they adopted me, and gave me a home and a family. They have been amazing as far as parents go, given me everything I could ever want or need. They sent me to a top level, exclusive school, gave me a brand new car when I turned sixteen, they come to all my soccer games. And in return I play the part of the doting son. Alex and Mara Lewis have done all they can to make me feel like i belong in their lives, and not once have I felt like the abandoned baby i once was. They are the best adoptive parents a guy could wish for and I'm lucky I guess. So why do I wake up every day and feel like something is missing? Why do I feel like I'm just on auto pilot, going through the motions of my daily existence. Literally just existing in this teen- luxe life I survive in? And why do I feel such an irresistible pull to the new kids in town....Maybe it's because i know what they are, werewolves; they are like me. But not really. I have never had to embrace that side of my life. My parents have always helped me suppress the curse that I assume I was born with. Another awesome gift from the parents that left me to die. The Lewis family are "familiars", they know about werewolves because my father has been in business with them, as have his whole family. Generation to generation. Silently observing, for a price. They recognised my symptoms as a teen. They were able to save me from turning savage. It's never bothered me. Until now. But when the exchange kids arrive, the wolf inside me awoke and called to them. It grew stronger with each passing moon, making it harder than ever to keep my wolf silent.....How much longer can i pretend that it doesn't exist inside me, before something happens that is out of my control? And even more worrying is that I get the feeling that I somehow want something to happen. I want to lose control. And that scares me more than anything.…

On the eve of my nineteenth birthday, during the small,family only party we always have at home, i receive a surprise visit from the grandmother no one speaks of. Actually, everyone thought she was long passed. She doesn't say much, just hands me a note and a small box. "Your birth rite, on your nineteenth birthday."She says this stone faced and cold, just like they said she was and without another word she is gone back into the night. Just like that. My father looks worried as I bring it inside. His long estranged mother just showed up? Why? "Maybe we should wait to open that."We have not been in contact with that side of the family and that is why we have lived as rogues for the last 14 years, forsaking our pack and the family and friends we had left behind. And to keep my secret. But his warning comes too late, I have already popped the small metal ornate lock and the lid springs open. A small strange scent escapes and makes me blink fast, catching my breath. A strange wave of nausea hits me hard and fast but as quickly as it came it is gone and I regain my composure."What was that" father asks. "Who was that?" I say feeling like I need to sit down.My head buzzes. "What a weird night" mother says. She tries to make light of the fact that her estranged mother just appeared. But why now? We left our entire family behind years ago, voluntarily, as a sign that we were not going to be part of anything they said or did anymore. Dad says, for a while they stayed in contact, hoping and trying hard to convince us to return. But they gave up after a while and we were effectively banished. Forgotten. Maybe that's for the best, seeing as though I'm the only one, in the history of our family to be human....ever. As they sing happy birthday to me I can't shake the sinking feeling coming over me like a rash. I lock eyes with mum. She feels it too. What an odd birthday.…
