I used to think Blake Ashford and my two other childhood friends would always be my strongest shield. That was until Lucy Whitmore, the frail childhood sweetheart, showed up. Suddenly, all their attention and favor were hers. To suppress the Wolfsbane poison in Lucy's body, they didn't hesitate to drain my wolf blood. Blake even took the Luna Moonstone from me in front of the entire Pack. "Lucy has no way to protect herself. You can survive without these things," he said, looking coldly at my pale face. "And if you dare to snitch to the Elders, I'll formally reject you and banish you from the Shadow Pack." Hearing their soft whispers of affection for Lucy through the Mindlink, I wiped the blood from my lips. "I, Vivian Hale, accept your rejection," I said calmly, severing our last psychic connection. Blake thought I was just throwing a tantrum. He thought I wouldn't last a day without them. But he didn't know that last night, I had already agreed to my father's ancient contract. A black car bearing the Royal Lycan Crest pulled up to the Pack's border. The most feared enemy Alpha was reaching out his hand to me.
