He's a beta now, a talented photographer ready to prove himself to his tribe and form his own pack, but these one-night stands with delicate, humorless females are only draining his energy. He swears off human women altogether … until the night he catches sight of Rosa. For the first time in her life, Rosa has to fight off the guys swarming around her.
