Valerie Silva, Luna of the Wintergale Pack, can no longer tolerate the betrayal of her Alpha, Neal Storm. She expels his lover, Raven, from the Wintergale Pack.
In revenge, Neal captures Valerie's parents and threatens to kill them. Forced to reveal Raven's whereabouts, Valerie complies, but Neal does not keep his promise.
Thereafter, Neal's abuse escalates: public humiliation, auctioning private photos, imprisonment, and torture.
Unbeknownst to him, Valerie's parents had long prepared a secret document that allows her to unilaterally dissolve the mate bond.
In despair, Valerie chooses to leave, severing all ties with Neal and withdrawing her family from the Wintergale Pack.
While on the run, she meets Denton, heir to the Alpha King. Denton has always loved her deeply, and now becomes her "second chosen fated mate." Valerie gradually emerges from the shadows and accepts Denton's love. Neal, driven mad, tries to reclaim her through violence and schemes.
In the end, Neal colludes with the Witch Clan to start a war. During the battle, Valerie awakens the ancient White Wolf bloodline and fights alongside Denton, defeating the enemy. Neal is tried and executed.
Valerie officially becomes the Luna of the Alpha King, earning the respect and reverence of the entire continent.
