Talia's life is perfect-until it isn't. One moment her future is planned, and she's set to marry the handsome heir of the Northwood pack... and the next those plans are shattered and dashed to the wind, just like her dreams. When Talia's father disobeys a direct order to retreat on a pack mission and goes rogue, countless lives are needlessly lost. With the pack baying for blood, the Alpha can no longer forgive his old friend's trespasses and executes him-right in front of his own daughter. But Talia's father's sins are too great, and not even his death appeases the pack's collective wrath. The young she-wolf soon finds herself banished on pain of death; cast from the only family she's ever known. Orphaned and outcast, Talia's last hopes lie with her fated mate. But with the Alpha's word as law, Maddox cruelly rejects their bond. And like her father, she is branded a traitor. Given just seventy-two hours to get over state lines, Talia runs. But things go from bad to worse when a last-minute sentimental detour sees her captured by Galen, the devastatingly gorgeous heir to the Long Claw pack, and the very wolf her father tried to kill... Fans of paranormal romance will love this slow burn, rejected mates, alpha queen series!
