After a fairly short engagement, Cole Morgan and his new werewolf husband, Evan West, decide to elope to London. However, a family tragedy back home soon cuts things short. Evan's grandfather is dead, making Evan the new alpha. Before it's even started, the honeymoon period is over. Evan must not only try to deal with his grief but also tackle all his newfound responsibilities and accept his new role. Cole knew that one day Evan would be the alpha, but he hadn't thought about what that would mean for him and his own role in the pack. With tensions higher than ever before with his own family, and feeling like a constant failure with the pack, Cole finds himself struggling, causing cracks to appear in the couple's new marriage. Cole is sure that they can handle anything as long as they stick together. He just hopes that they can.
