Cadoc Collins might be powerless to resist me, but he’s not going to claim me, either. A pink line on a stick makes it a much bigger problem than my bruised heart. I’m 18, knocked up, and publicly rejected by the future alpha. And this baby in my belly? It might as well be a target on my back. Lucky for me I’m a scavenger. My kind are good at finding things, but we’re great at getting lost. Cadoc The fate of Moon Lake rests on my shoulders. I can’t claim the scavenger female. The pack is on the verge of a revolt, and a mating so controversial could push our warring factions into open conflict. All I need is time. I’ll do what’s expected of me as our future leader, and when the politics are sorted, I’ll do right by the odd little scavenger. I’m the heir apparent. She’ll be there when I’m ready. Right?
