When Orion, the leader of the Nightshade Pack, finds an injured woman near his territory, he makes an impulsive decision to bring her into his pack for treatment. Doubts linger, as she may be a spy sent by the Enclave, led by the ruthless Luna, Victoria.

What was supposed to be a straightforward case of recovery quickly becomes complicated. When Sophia awakens, she is plagued by amnesia, remembering only her name.

Orion faces a dilemma: should he send her away or allow her to stay? Ultimately, he decides to keep her until her memories return. As Sophia adjusts to life in the Nightshade Pack, a deep connection forms between her and Orion. They begin to realize they belong together, but what will happen when Sophia’s memories start returning in fragments? Will those memories destroy not only their bond but also the safety of the entire pack?

While Victoria and her people sat together at dinner, discussing the demise of the pack in the north, the leaders of that very pack were in bed, on the verge of exploring new depths of intimacy.


Orion searched Sophia's face carefully, his thumb brushing over her flushed cheek. The vulnerability shining in her eyes made his chest tighten with fierce protectiveness.


"Shorty," he said softly, his voice low and steady, "if at any point you feel even the slightest discomfort or pain, tell me immediately, okay?"


Sophia nodded, then smirked. "Are you going to make it uncomfortable?" she asked him.


Orion huffed a laugh and shook his head.
