This was Beta Sitka’s story. His search for a mate took him away from the Lycan’s he is beta to. He was on the search for his mate. He returns sad that his search came to nothing.
The story then continues as Sitka and the Alfa’s daughter Winter have to navigate their bond when she is already mated to another male.
I just could not get into a story that supported cheating. The female was not likeable and Sitka felt weak.
