"Listen carefully, Thea. You're nothing, and you'll always be nothing. The truth is, I only fucked you because you were convenient." He advanced on me, slamming me hard against the wall, and his body caging me in.

"Please stop Sebastian," I begged, but he continued mercilessly.

"You weren't even good at that. Every time I was inside you, I imagined Aurora. Every time I finished, it was her face I saw. You were nothing special—just easy. I used you like the worthless wolfless slut you are."

I closed my eyes, hot tears spilled down my cheeks. I let myself collapse, shattering completely.

*****
As the unwanted wolfless daughter of the Sterling Family, Thea has spent her entire life being treated as an outsider. When an accident forces her into marriage with Sebastian Ashworth, the Alpha to Moon Bay most powerful pack, she foolishly believes love and dedication might be enough to overcome her "defect."

Seven years later, their marriage ends in divorce, leaving Thea with only their son Leo and a teaching position at a neutral territory school. Just as she starts rebuilding her life, her father's assassination throws her back into the world she tried to escape. Now she must deal with her ex-husband's rekindled romance with her perfect sister Aurora, mysterious attacks targeting her life, and an unexpected attraction to Kane, a cop with secrets of his own.

But when experimental wolfsbane threatens both Packs and puts everyone she loves in danger, Thea finds herself caught between protecting her son and confronting a past she never fully understood. Being wolfless once made her an outcast - could it now be the key to her survival? And as Sebastian shows an unfamiliar protective side, Thea must decide: should she trust the man who once rejected her, or risk everything by opening her heart to someone new?
