With Creede getting along well in college, and Mandy settled in Spokane with her new husband, waiting for their baby to be born, everything's going to be just fine for the young Colville werewolves, right? Um, wrong. Benny Altos, Creede's old frenemy who can't let go of a grudge, is about to learn that karma's a bitch.
Meanwhile, Jack's still balancing lycanthropy with his job as a Stevens County Sheriff's Deputy and learning that managing a pack is a lot like managing any other group of people thrown together by chance: politics, politics, politics. And teeth. It'd sure help if he could become a true Alpha. If only he knew how.
And then there's Sharon, Creede and Mandy's mother, who still doesn't know about her childrens' secret. She's caught between Benny and his grudge, and it's going to cost her. There is one big consolation, though: she's going to have a grandbaby. A sweet, round, cuddly baby. Unless of course it's not a baby at all.
