24-year old Ethan Hurst has never belonged. He's always been too impulsive, too hot-headed, and too reckless to fit into mainstream society. Alansa, the city of his birth and residence has always been inhabited by both werewolves and humans. However, recently, the city has seen a revival in social movements against the ghettoization of modern werewolves - individuals who choose to sleep in city apartments rather than the forest, choose to shop instead of hunt, and choose to disguise themselves instead of shift. The werewolves are calling for equal rights: the desegregation of busses, stores, and cities - and for better treatment: higher pay, civil rights, and equal opportunity. Ethan has been relatively safeguarded against the civil unrest as he's too busy partying among the wealthiest in Alansa than to care about the social welfare of species' other than humans. Until, he meets Kimani Vae: his destined mate. And he realizes that among all the fearmongering occurring in the city, one thing is for sure: Ethan Hurst has Alpha werewolf blood running through his veins - he just never knew it until now.
