  No, I'm not the town crazy.
  I'm just the son of the guy who opened a specialized comic book shop in a community barely big enough to warrant a supermarket. Of course my dad lost interest within a month—as usual—and handed the whole disaster over to me, so now I'm stuck in the last place I wanted to be.
  My home town.

  I love everything about my life in Wolden Valley. I'm surrounded by my family, my pack, and a handful of close friends who honestly care for me. My job as a pack beta is incredibly rewarding. It has its low days, of course, but for the most part it's exactly what I love doing the most—protecting the people around me.
  But when the unthinkable happens and everything I thought I knew is turned upside down, the only person I want with me is the one I can't have.
  My mate.
