As the son of the new alpha he was used to getting the girl he wanted, he was determined to have her but Aly is determined to never allow that to happen. The townsfolk are aware of the existence of werewolves; they are quick to accuse those they dislike. The accused are put on trial and nearly always convicted and killed in gruesome and torturous ways. They have accused both Mark and Aly's families of being werewolves. Though they cannot stand each other Aly and Mark find that they must work together to save their families from the cruel hand that fate has dealt them. But saving people means finding out the truth and digging for the truth leads them down a path to death.
