Since moving to Boston, Kyle Slidell has met only a few of his neighbors, including Tobias Rogan. Kyle is very interested in Tobias, and is ecstatic to learn that Tobias wants him too. But his neighbors have a secret: They're werewolves, and Tobias is the pack Alpha. When one of the wolves attacks Kyle in the neighborhood garden one night, Kyle learns the truth in a hurry. Now he's a werewolf too-and since he's vegan, he refuses to eat meat. With Tobias' help and love, Kyle must adjust to his new life and protect himself and his friends from a neighboring pack.

Christmas is Kyle Slidell's favorite holiday, and since it's his first with his mate Tobias Rogan, Kyle wants to make it special. But Tobias wants nothing to do with the holiday. When Tobias leaves "for the night" and doesn't return, Kyle tracks him down on Christmas Eve. Can he change his mate's mind and have the special holiday he desires?

A member of the Boston North Pack is attacked by humans who say they were hired by a shifter. The same night, Melia, the wolf who changed Kyle, returns to Boston. The pack suspects Melia of arranging the attack, but Kyle believes someone else is behind it. He just doesn't know who. The next day at the regional alpha meeting in Pennsylvania, Kyle finds his answer. Saul Hughes, another alpha, has a long-standing grudge against Tobias. He claims Tobias is too weak to control a pack and makes it clear that he wants control of Boston North. But no one suspects how far he'll go to get it.

A six-year-old human child, who recently moved with his single father to the heart of the Boston North Pack's territory, is missing, and Tobias Rogan has been framed for kidnapping the boy. Only Kyle Slidell knows that Saul Hughes, the rogue former alpha with a grudge against Tobias, is behind the kidnapping. But Saul has retained his powers and uses them to hide himself from everyone except Kyle. To save the boy and protect his mate, Kyle will violate shifter law, ignore direct orders from the ruler of the Northeast Region werewolves, and risk his own life.

As he and his mate Kyle Slidell prepare to travel to Pennsylvania for the twice-yearly regional Alpha gathering, Tobias Rogan knows something will go wrong. His fears are proven correct when a visiting werewolf from another region challenges Arkhon Zane Wolfskin for leadership of the Northeast—and wins. Tobias and his allies learn the challenge was part of a larger plan to destroy their region, and Tobias will not allow it to happen. But can he defeat the new Arkhon and take charge of the region himself?

Tobias Rogan never wanted to rule anyone, but in the past several months has gone from quietly running the smallest pack in the U.S. to controlling the Northeast Region. And now, to save the werewolf world, he must challenge the Anax, ruler of all werewolves in the United States. But Tobias' mate, Kyle Slidell, is being held as blackmail, and Tobias must choose: Issue his challenge and risk Kyle's life, or allow the Anax to declare war.
