He takes great pride in his pack and their accomplishments. But he is lonely. Long looking for love, he's all but given up. Until one night instinct leads him to her. Gwen is on the run. For years, she and her best friend North have fled from the dark magic of Desmond, a sorcerer who wants Gwen for her magic. She is a witch, blessed by earth and wind, and though she has no inner beast, her father passed his werewolf magic to her as well. She is powerful. She is beautiful. With a single glance, Aldric realizes she is his. His mate. His everything. But Gwen is hesitant. Desmond has great power and the threat of him harming Silvershade is high. He also has strong allies, not the least of which is Scarlet, the fire witch hot on Gwen and North's trail. There are many reasons to leave Silvershade safe and sound. There are also many reasons to stay. For so long alone, with only each other, Gwen and North have finally found a pack where they could make friends, and potentially, find family. As threat of never-ending night approaches, Gwen must decide if her faith is greater than her fear.Because it is not only Silvershade at risk, but all of Neigera, and even beyond . . .
