At 17, Skylar Cross had dreams and aspirations. She and her older brother Emmett had made a pact: after graduating high school, they would leave their controlling Silver Mountain pack behind. Together, they had been secretly working on establishing an automotive business they hoped would be their escape route. Their father, the Alpha, was known for his cruelty, both as a leader and a parent. As the youngest of four siblings, Skylar often felt like a secondary choice, expected to fill in for her older sister, while her brother supported their eldest sibling. With a shocking revelation – her father intended to sell her to another Alpha – Skylar decided to take matters into her own hands. She left the pack before completing her education, determined to start anew with the auto shop. However, life didn't proceed smoothly when the Alpha of the neighboring pack began to show an unexpected interest in her. Navigating this unforeseen development, Skylar, who couldn't envision herself belonging to another pack or being close to another Alpha, struggled to adapt. Adding to her challenges were reuniting with estranged family, an overly protective former Alpha, his son, and the constant躲避 of potential mating bonds. Amidst all these complications, Skylar's primary focus remained on her cherished dream, the one she had tirelessly worked towards. And, lurking in the shadows, her father pursued her relentlessly, intent on forcing her back into the pack she had fled from.
