But no one warned her of what would be unleashed when she met her fated mate. When she shakes Alpha Gabriel's hand, Amelia knew right away that he was her mate, and dread quickly set in.\nOnce they completed their bond, Amelia begins to receive dreams, warning her of an attack. An old enemy is lurking in the shadows, watching as she matures into the wolf she is destined to be, but can she figure out who he is and how he's connected to her past, or will she be too late to save her pack, her family, and her mate?\nThe nightmares are only the beginning as a new wave of powers overwhelm her. It's a battle of wills, hearts, and minds, with their lives on the line, and Amelia must decide what she's willing to give up.
