They say the oldest child is usually the most mature, for Creeland that isn't always true. He's overwhelmed with everything going on around him, including protecting his brothers, handling his responsibilities as an Alpha of the Kismet pack, and loving his mate who refuses to submit to him fully.
Halo, Creeland's ever-adored mate, has never believed herself worthy of all Fate has bestowed upon her. In an effort to protect those she loves, she decides to hide her knowledge and withhold truths trusted to her by Fate. But when her secrets come spilling out, they have the potential to cost Halo the two beings she holds closest to her heart.
While Creeland and Halo attempt to manage a matehood they believe is one of Fate's biggest mistakes, Yves and Zamiyah are hit with an unexpected hurdle while preparing for their pup's entrance into the world, and Delcan and Naiobi struggle to come to terms with Naiobi's destiny.
As they each navigate new paths that test their matehoods, they try desperately to hold on to their bonds while facing their greatest threat yet. Will they come out the other side of the journey alive and successfully fulfill their roles in the Great Prophecy, or will their quest for love, understanding, and acceptance cost them more than they're willing to sacrifice?
