Lina survives on meager scraps in the impoverished human slums after her deceitful relatives auction her off to settle their heavy gambling arrears. Her unexpected night with Lysander leaves her on the run from predatory pack enforcers while raising six rambunctious shifter pups in absolute secrecy.
When vicious rogue wolves finally track down her ramshackle hiding spot, Lysander arrives in a fury to defend his royal offspring. Highly suspicious of his motives, Lina resists being dragged into his opulent palace, forcing the arrogant pack king to win her trust through patient fatherhood rather than cold sovereign commands.
