Human bounty hunter Elena is hired by Portia, princess of the human kingdom, to infiltrate Silver Moon Academy, a werewolf-run school, and deliberately get close to Cains, heir to the werewolf lordship. Rumors paint Cains as cold, silent, and untouchable, but Elena's advances reveal another side of him. Elena joins Cains's academy guard team, ranks first with her bounty-hunter skills, meets the warm deputy captain Gregor, and earns a place at Cains's side. At the Silver Moon Gathering, Portia and Cains meet for the first time. Elena and Portia work together to set Cains up, trapping Cains and Elena in the same room. Cains nearly loses control, allowing Elena to discover something abnormal about him. Meanwhile, Cains's father, Brewer, finds the suggestive evidence Elena intentionally leaves behind. The plan disrupts the engagement, allowing Portia to postpone the marriage, and makes Cains pay a heavy price.
