Teegan is a werewolf who was raised by humans. She believes her birth parents didn't want her, so they threw her away. She doesn't want anything to do with the werewolf world. However, when she meets her mate Joel, her views quickly change. With the help of her mate, she finds out the truth about what really happened all those years ago. Teegan and Joel set out on a journey to get answers to why pups from her pack have been disappearing for years. Their search leads to more unanswered questions. With multiple people trying to stop what they're doing, will they be successful in reuniting families, or will evil win and stop them before they find all the answers?

Most people probably think it would be cool to be a werewolf. Well, I'm not most people. I was abandoned as a baby and adopted by a human couple who knew nothing about werewolves. I had no idea about them either until my wolf Mia started talking in my head when I turned five.
Apparently, whoever my werewolf parents were didn't want me. Who wants to be unwanted? At least my adoptive parents wanted me until they got a divorce when I was twelve. Then, they only wanted me to see what they could get from each other. When I turned eighteen, I told them peace out. It's been seven years, and neither has made any attempts to reach me.
Mia did help me on the days I was alone and felt like no one cared. I never told my adoptive parents about her. She said it was best not to because they wouldn't understand. After turning eighteen, Mia had gotten so obsessed with finding our mate she began getting on my nerves. I couldn't care less about finding a mate. In my head, I'm a human with an annoying wolf who, most of the time, I pretend isn't there. So, right now, as I walk to work, I have to keep up my mantra.
Walking down the street. Walking down the street. It may seem strange for me to be so focused on walking, but my wolf has gotten in the habit of shifting whenever she damn well pleases. Just yesterday, I was talking to a nice man I met at the coffee shop. He asked me out to dinner, and when I said yes, she started growling and shifted. Now, there are news reports of an enormous wolf in town. Luckily, I don't go to that coffee shop often, and even though I literally shifted in front of people's eyes, no one believed what they saw. There have been no reports of a woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes suddenly becoming a large pale grey and white wolf. So that's one positive.
"He wasn't our mate. Why do you even want to talk to someone who isn't our mate? The Moon Goddess should have given me a better human because you don't know what it means to be a werewolf. You're obviously defective. I wonder if I can send you in to be repaired." I groan as I continue walking. It's the same argument we have every day. I'm a twenty-five-year-old virgin, thanks to Mia.
"You may be right, but I'm not going to sit around and wait for this so-called mate. I want to be happy, and if I find a man that makes me happy, so be it." I mindlink her, making her growl in my head.
"I swear if you try to get with another man that's not our mate, then I will shift and never let you shift back. I'll terrorize the whole town until you submit to me and help me find our mate." I start humming while I pretend I can't hear her. She wants a new human. Well, I want a new wolf or, better yet, no wolf at all.
As we walk into the restaurant where I work on the weekends as a hostess, I catch a whiff of something. It's not the food from the restaurant; it's refreshing like the outdoors. Mia starts jumping with excitement in my head.
"Our mate is here. Go find him now, or I will." Oh, please help me. I can feel her wanting to shift.
"I swear, Mia, if you shift and start humping his leg, I'm going to shoot you myself." Mia scuffs, but I'm serious. I try to ignore the way my heart is racing as I look around the restaurant.
"Bitch, please. I am civilized. THERE HE IS. GO NOW." She's screaming in my head, making me desperately wish I was deaf. Would I still be able to hear her if I was deaf? When I look up, I see a tall, handsome man with wavy brown hair and green eyes walking toward me. When he gets to me, he puts his nose in my neck, taking a deep breath, and I want to shove him off. What's he doing? Is he going to start humping my leg? He looks into my eyes and smiles.
"Mate."

Joel's P.O.V.
Being a thirty-year-old lycan prince who doesn't have a mate is getting embarrassing. Some have said I need to go ahead and mark one of the many females who want to mate with me. I have considered it, but the thought of someone who isn't fated to me turns my stomach. Besides, my wolf, Romeo, won't let me near another woman. Even when I've attempted to go on dates or kiss a woman, he always messes it up. He said that we should only be with our Juliet. I think he takes his name a little too seriously. So not only am I thirty without a mate, but I'm also a virgin. When I find my mate, she'll probably laugh me out of the bedroom because I have no experience.
I just finished a meeting with the alpha of a pack who's having issues with their pups being kidnapped. I'm having several royal guards and a few trackers go to the pack to see if they can help get to the bottom of it. On the way home, I decide to stop and get something to eat in a small town I was driving through. I may be a prince, but I prefer to drive myself. My brother is the crown prince, so I have a little more freedom than he does.
As I sit down at a small table, I smell something that makes Romeo howl in my head. What is that? I stand up to find the source and see a beautiful woman with long blonde hair in a braid looking around. It's her. I've found her. I've found my mate. Without thinking, I walk over and bury my nose in her neck to breathe in her intoxicating scent. I look into her startled blue eyes and say the word I've wanted to say for so long.
"Mate." Instead of smiling or saying it back, she groans.
"Let's go outside." She says. My heart is already breaking. I can tell she's a wolf and not human, so she shouldn't have this reaction. Is she going to reject me? Please don't let her reject me; I need her.
"Get out of your head and let the woman talk. Stop being all doom and gloom." Romeo mindlinks me. He's right. I need to hear what she has to say. We get outside and walk away from the entrance to speak privately. She turns to me and leans against the building.
"So you're my mate. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't really understand all this mate or werewolf stuff. I was raised by humans after being abandoned as a baby, so I've never been around other werewolves." Well, at least she hasn't rejected me yet; she's like a human with a wolf.
"Has your wolf told you about werewolves and mates?" I ask. My hands are aching to touch her, but I don't think she'd appreciate that right now.
"She's told me some. Honestly, I tuned her out most of the time. What's your name?" Despite how flippant she's acting, I can tell she's having a response to me. I hold my hand out to her.
"I'm Joel." I leave off the whole lycan prince thing for right now. I'm not sure how she'll take it knowing if she accepts me, she'll be a princess. She takes my hand, and I almost moan in pleasure from the sparks that travel up my arm. I always heard it was incredible. She gasps and almost pulls away, but I don't let her.
"I'm Teegan. What the hell is that?" She stops trying to release my hand and relaxes some.
"That's from the mate bond. Mates can feel the connection in multiple ways when they find each other. Scent, touch, and feeling, to name a few. Do you think we can go somewhere to talk?" Please say yes. I need to be near her.
"I'm actually getting ready to start work. I'm a hostess at the restaurant. This is my weekend job. During the week, I'm an administrative assistant at a local law office." Well, she didn't say no. If she agrees to accept me, she'll never have to work again.
"Okay, can you call off, or I can meet you when you're done working," She doesn't answer right away, and I can tell she's arguing with her wolf. It's funny; it reminds me of how I argue with Romeo.
"I was going to suggest we meet tomorrow. However, my damn wolf is threatening to shift if I don't go with you now. Give me just a minute while I tell them I can't work." Teegan goes into the restaurant, and it's taking everything in me not to start jumping around with joy. When she comes back out, I can't stop smiling.
"Okay, I'm all yours." She says. I know what she means, but I can't help thinking she will be mine for the rest of her life. Now that I've found her, I never plan on letting her go.
One Year LaterTeegan's P.O.V. It has been over a year since Thalia tried to take over the palace. After that chaos, everything seemed to settle down. My Mom and Dad moved to the palace to be closer to everyone. Anton said he didn't want to be alpha, so Dad agreed to let a new alpha take over. After we all came out of our heat, we still traveled to some other packs and were able to reunite a few more stolen pups with their families. We returned to the palace when it was getting close to the time for us to give birth. Now, with most of the pups getting ready to turn one, we're going to have a combined birthday party for them and continue on our mission. Logan and Emily's daughter, Josette, was born first. Our little one, Gracie, was next, followed by Petra and Anton's son, Kaiden. Kiana and Damon had a little girl, Ciera. Landon is Ryker and Martina's son, and Shelby is Scott and Brooke's daughter. Finally, Docia and Jason had a son, Tyson. The palace seemed to turn into a nurser
Docia's P.O.V. Petra mindlinked me that she was in heat, so she wouldn't be out of the bedroom for a few days. Martina and Brooke also went into heat. They're all so lucky. I want my mate, my real mate. Not someone who bought me and forced me to mate with them. I was shocked when I saw Petra come to the palace. I had thought she was dead. I had wanted to run to her, but I was scared of Chris and his witch. She was so little when we were taken. I may be older than Petra, but the way she acts, it seems she's older than me. She's so mature and strong; I admire her. After we were separated, I was with a pack who knew nothing about my magic. I kept it hidden and suffered their abuse. Some of the women were more brutal than the men. I never understood what would cause anyone to treat someone so horribly. All I dreamed about was getting away from there and finding my sister. When Chris bought me, I hoped it would be better. In some ways, it was
Petra's P.O.V. Thalia just made a huge mistake. She can't know that Teegan has power, too; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her here. I have to relieve Teegan's pain so she can help. Now that I'm mated to Anton, I should be able to mindlink her and Joel. I hope her acting skills are good."Teegan, I know you're in an incredible amount of pain, and I'm going to ease that for you, but I need you to continue screaming like you're doing now. Can you do that?" Her screaming falters for a second as she listens to me. Joel is listening as well. "I'll do whatever you want if you make this pain stop." She mindlinks back. I use magic to ease her pain and make a cooling sensation come over her. It will also help her scent so unmated wolves won't be frantic to get to her. It won't hold forever, but it should be long enough for what we need to do. She continues rolling around in the cage and screaming."I feel better. What are we going to do? I don't know what's going on other than a witc
Petra's P.O.V. The witch smirks at my sister and me. She doesn't seem like she's scared of us and our magic at all. "You need to leave. Chris will not be king, and you're not welcome here." I tell her. She looks at Chris and shakes her head. "Do you think I really care about this fool? He was a pawn to get to my real prize. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thalia, one of the witches from the Mystic Flame Coven. I'm over three hundred years old. I've waited a long time for you, sisters of the Mystic Moonlighters. When I discovered Docia was for sale, I had Chris buy her. I didn't know where Petra was hiding, but I knew you would eventually find each other. I heard you were hanging out with the royals, so I convinced Chris it was time for him to take his rightful place on the throne." Thalia stands up and walks over to where Chris is sitting. He turns to us and grins evilly. "Get these chains off me so I can take my place as king." Thalia sits on his lap and kisses him. While they
Petra's P.O.V. I have a sister? When I study Docia, she looks like me but older. I was three when I was taken from our pack, and I remember other pups being with me, but I can't remember her. "You're my sister?" I ask her. She smiles and nods but then glances at Chris nervously. "Yes, and you need to surrender to us before it's too late." I hear what she's saying, but her eyes tell me something different. She looks desperate. "I don't think my sister wants to be with him." I mindlink the others. "Try to mindlink her." Anton mindlinks me back."Docia, can you hear me?" Her eyes widen, and she glances toward Chris."Yes. I can hear you. Petra, I'm so scared. Chris forced me to mate with him because of my magic. He bought me from another pack a few years ago." She looks like she's going to cry. I mindlink the others again."She says Chris forced her to mate with him after he bought her from another pack," I tell them."Ask her if he has anyone else helping him that has ab
Petra's P.O.V. If the people who took over the palace were going for shock value, they succeeded. However, I'm the only one not vomiting because I'm staring at the heads hanging on the ceiling. Something isn't right. Anton grabs my arm as I start to walk into the dungeon. "What are you doing?" He asks with concern. "I need to look at something." I don't want to tell him my theory until I'm sure. I know he doesn't want to go with me, but after what happened in Texas, he hasn't let me go anywhere alone, so he follows me inside. Just as I thought. The heads aren't real. "Logan, Kiana, this isn't your family." They both jump up and look at me in disbelief. "What do you mean?" Logan asks, trying to avoid looking at the heads above me. "They're not real. Someone made really good replicas, but they're fake." Everyone comes in and sees the same thing I saw. At first glance, they look real, but when you really examine them, they are clearly manmade. "Are they dead?" Logan asks, pointi
Near Dallas, TexasLogan's P.O.V. We're at the Dark Tails pack, where Seth had told us their unmated females were taken. We found them and others from nearby packs. They were told they were going to be sold as breeders. We soon realized that many in the pack didn't agree with what their alpha and beta were doing, so we let them carry out the punishment and decide on a new alpha. They also said they would help the women get back to their homes. Just as we're preparing to leave, I get a text. It's from Eric, and all it says is Come back to the palace now. When I try to call him, his phone goes straight to voicemail. I try my parents, and they don't answer either. There is no answer when I call my sisters and brother. What's going on? I try everyone I can think of in the palace, but no one answers. "I don't know what's going on, but we need to go to the palace now. No one is answering, and I received a text from the head of security that I needed to return. Le
Warning: Parts of this chapter may be difficult for some readers.Wendy's P.O.V. When I see the look on Richard's face, I stand up and try to run out of the room. He grabs me by my hair and throws me to the floor. I look at my mom, but she's too busy screaming about me having sex with her mate to notice we're in danger. "What the fuck do you think you're doing having sex with your stepfather?" She asks as I stand up. I put on my robe and back away from Richard. "Mom, he knows you're sleeping with other men, so don't try to act like you care." I try to get her attention, but she just continues to yell. I don't have time for this. I can tell Richard means exactly what he said. "What do you want from us? My father is already dead, so you got your revenge on him." I argue. Mom finally shuts up long enough to listen. "Your dad drugged my mate to make her sleep with him. She was so ridden with guilt that she killed herself. He took everything from me. My mate and our pup. She was
Teegan's P.O.V. I feel numb. I'm still trying to wrap my head around being taken by a demon, terrorized by a giant spider, and saved by a prince from the underworld. It feels like I'm watching myself in a horror movie, but it's not a movie; it's real life. Petra was incredible. I was so busy watching the spider that I didn't realize she had her magic back. My thoughts were on Joel and never seeing him again. They were also on the spider that I was sure was going to eat me or scare me to death. Not Petra, though. She was busy getting us free and summoning Paimon. When our hands touched, I felt powerful. It was an amazing feeling and gave me a glimpse of what Petra must feel all the time. Paimon was a creepy guy. I could never really see his face. No matter which way he turned, he was always in the shadows. I was glad for his help, but a part of me worried he would try to take us with him. We're getting ready to leave the pack now. A lab t
