A union between a human and a wolf has never been done and is likely forbidden. However, no matter how much distance Shay puts between herself and the other woman, something keeps pulling her back. With a city that’s too cramped for her wolf’s liking and a pack that’s falling apart at the seams, can Shay control her wolf long enough to stay within the city, or is this one line she shouldn’t cross?
