Dear Reader,

This is a mature, paranormal dark drama that is adult-only. If you are underage, please leave now.

I want to take a moment to go over the triggers in this story before you read because the chapters do not have trigger warnings. For your own safety, do no t read this story if any of these will put you in a dangerous place. Every chapter has triggers and if you skip a chapter, you will get lost in the story.

**No description is given, but a sexual assault, strangulation, and a brutal beating happen in the foreground.

**Mentioned in the past tense are: sexual assault, physical abuse, gang rape, child and adult trafficking (kidnapping/being sold/tortured/put into sex rings/murdered), unable to have children, miscarriages, child abuse, depression, PTSD, suicide, eating disorders, starvation, racism, and violent death.

**As with all werewolf stories, there are battles where people die.

Author's Note:

In every book I've read in this genre, a wolf pack leader is called an Alpha. However, in this story (and future stories in this world), this is not the case. Alpha is just a rank. The pack leaders are called Blood Alphas. They can be male or female and their mates are called Luna or Lunus, depending on gender.

Each chapter is told from a different person's POV and the writing style changes to reflect that. The chapter title and picture will identify the character who is currently in the spotlight.

A list at the end of each chapter will indicate who was introduced. A full Character Tree is the final chapter.

Thank you for reading!
