Kael Anderson lost his future mate and luna, Stephanie, during a rogue attack. Stephanie's death left his entire pack in mourning; her death anniversary was even declared a pack holiday.

Five years later, Kael discovers that Stephanie's younger sister Astrid is his mate. But how can that be? Wasn't Stephanie supposed to be his mate? And would his pack even accept Astrid as his mate and Luna-many have always blamed Astrid for Stephanie's death, because Stephanie died trying to save Astrid.

For her part, Astrid has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister for years. She knows very well that pack members and her parents wish that it was Astrid that died that day instead of Stephanie. Astrid had looked forward to the day that she would meet her mate and finally feel important to someone.

Discovering that her mate is Kael is Astrid's worst nightmare, especially when Kael reacts poorly to the discovery. Astrid decides that she is unwilling to live in Stephanie's shadow any longer. She will not spend the rest of her life with a mate who wishes she was someone else. She rejects Kael, who all too quickly accepts the rejection.

Soon afterwards, horrifying truths come out and Kael immediately regrets letting Astrid go. He sets out to get Astrid back and right the wrongs that have been done. But is it too late? Will Astrid find love with Kael, or with someone else?

"Are you implying that I could not follow simple game rules?"


I shake my head and laugh. "Okay, so how do you propose we start this conversation then? Truth or dare? Never have I ever? Would you rather?"


"Why does it have to be a game? Why can't you just ask me questions, and I will ask you questions, and—"


Now it is her turn to look at me suspiciously.


"We have more than six years of hard topics that we need to talk about. If we do not try to put a little structure to it, and have a little fun with it, we could end up talking about one thing and forgetting the others. Or, you may try to run again."


"Me? Why would I run? You are the one that has had his head up his a&& this whole time. I do not think that there is anything that you could tell me that would shock me."


"Never say never… unless that is the game that you want to play."


Astrid rolls her eyes but also lets out a giggle. Oh, how I love the sound of her laugh.
