When Daelan realizes the woman he's been watching is the mate he's been waiting for he ought to be thrilled. Instead, he finds himself fighting the need to claim her and make her his Alpha female. In a pack with elders that have lived over 10 centuries, not a single wolf can remember a member ever having a human mate. But plenty of the pack's elders do remember being hunted and persecuted by humans. Daelan knows bringing his mate back to the den is dangerous and his Alpha status is the only thing standing between her and the blood-thirsty traitors that want to see his sweet Haley dead. Outnumbered and betrayed by his closest friends, Daelan must accept the mutiny of his own Beta while he finds a way to hunt the wolves that are hunting his mate in the stormy winter of the Cascade mountain range. Another storm is blowing in and the oldest wolf-shifter pack on the west coast is now a pack divided.
