Iris is single-handedly raising her son, while Mason leads a werewolf pack. Despite their stark differences, they are drawn together by the Moon God as Mates. Haunted by the destructive impact of the Mate bond on his own family, Mason firmly opposes the idea of accepting a mate. He fears disrupting Iris's secure human life and introducing her to a world she only knows from town whispers and fairytales. However, he struggles with the realization that rejecting her when she needs him most would be even more selfish. Besides, she finally needs him just as much as he has been craving her all along. As an unexpected former lover reenters Iris and her son's life and a decade-long war rages between two packs, the fate-bound couple remains stubbornly resistant to acknowledging their bond under the moon. Will their love endure the challenges posed by a returning flame, pack conflicts, and their own hesitations?
