Ivy Lewis is the wolfless pariah of the Silver Creek Pack and a source of constant shame for her powerful, high-ranking family. Her entire value is tied to her arranged mating with Isaac Scott, the pack's future Beta, a political union meant to consolidate power.

Isaac brutally rejects her in front of everyone, only to claim a tearful Delilah—who is already pregnant with his child—as his true choice.

Her focus shifts from survival to the fierce, all-consuming need to protect her unborn child from a world that would despise…
