Meet Jax and Elle. The Alpha's son and daughter.

Jax was more than ready to take over his father's position on being Alpha of pack Halfmoon, and ready to protect his family, friends and pack. Yet when a dark and strong neighboring pack invades, Halfmoon finds themselves defeated, and struggling with their numbers.

Red Claw pack's Alpha - Baine, is a strange and cruel man. But when he sets his sights on Elle after dominating her pack, he utters the words that changes her life, turning it upside down. Elle always wanted a quiet and subtle life. Not this . . . scary and dark world she must call home!

When Elle discovers this man who nearly killed off her whole pack is her mate, she's disgusted by his existance. He's horrible. A monster. But at the same time, fate has something up its sleeve. Elle must endure her harsh new reality, all whilst trying to understand how fate brought Baine into her life.

Surely he's only a monster . . . or . . is he really?

Prologue

"Attack! Attack!" I heard out of the building. Jax, my brother, stared up at me with large eyes. We were twins, and both had astonishing blue eyes, mirroring the sky.

"Don't go," I whimpered.

"I have to. Mom and dad can't fight alone, and what sort of Alpha would I be if I let them go on their own? Stay here Elle. I need you safe," and before I could object, he left me in the closet that I was sworn to hide in, and left the room.

I grabbed my knees up to my chest and tried not to cry. I was 20 and Jax was 20. He was supposed to be Alpha in a week, yet now we were being attacked by another pack. I didn't know why. Halfmoon wasn't that big! We weren't a threat to anybody. Why would someone target us? I wasn't sure, but I knew I had to get to the bottom of it.

My hand reached out for the wardrobe's semi clear door, but I stopped half way when my best friend came running in the room, frantically searching for me. Her green eyes were wide with one emotion. Sarah and I had known eachother since birth. She was like a sister to me, and she was also Jax's mate.

Fear.

I opened my mouth to yell for her, but the sound of thumping paws made her turn. Running towards her was a huge grey wolf - bigger than one I could turn into, and it bit into her leg, making her call out in fear. Immediately, my hand opened the door as the wolf tried to drag Sara down the hall.

"Stop!" I yelled, catching the wolf's attention. I slid out of the wardrobe, completely disobeying my brother. The wolf's head popped up with just enough time for Sara to shift into her beautiful white wolf. One I've always been jealous of.

She kicked underneath the wolf's belly, making a gash. The wolf howled before leaving us and running out of my home.

She soon shifted back naked, but I didn't care. She was my best friend and soon to be sister-in-law.

"We have to run, the pack is suffering Elle," She seethed as she took deep breaths. I took a glance at her leg which was heaving blood.

"Oh my God your leg," I whispered, putting my hand over my mouth.

"Don't worry about that, I'm fine. But your brother ordered me to come and get you. Elle we're losing this battle, and our fighters are paying the price," She rushed out, getting me up from kneeling. I stood up, my knees shaking.

We were losing? How many of my packmates had died trying to hold off the intruders.

As we raced down the halls of my palace like house with her limping, we came to the stairs.
