Aubrey Rosenberg has a problem. As the daughter to the number one beta, they expect her to follow all the females of the pack and get mated, only she hasn’t. Due to the female-dominated population, the males in the pack can afford to be selective when choosing. That means none has sent out the howl to trigger her shift. Now she is coming to the age where her wolf will die and she will no longer be part of the pack she has always known. Her last season is here, and she’s ready to accept her fate. Ransom Tudor has come to the Cottonwood pack by request of his uncle, the alpha. He thinks it is to help with a problem along with being invited to find a mate, but his uncle has other intentions. Before the yearly season of the howl, he discovers his mate and discovers another problem. She is ready to become all human. Every wolf loves a good chase, and Ransom is going to enjoy the one with Ms. Aubrey. He welcomes the challenge of showing her what being a true mate means and has no problem with playing dirty if need be. However, besides the challenge of a mate, other challenge are in store for him, including dealing with a rogue wolf who has a taste for blood.
