Raya was made into a pack slave when she was eight years old. The alpha had killed her mother for trespassing into his territory. For the last ten years, the Nightshade pack has tried to break her. On the night of her 18th birthday, her chance to find a mate rises as it is also the night of the annual mating ball. Raya prays for a mate that could set her free from this pack, or a strong wolf that could help her run away if she does not find her mate.
