Elena is recovering from a severe injury with the healing power linked to her mate, an Alpha who reassures her he will never harm her and promises to protect her from anyone who tries. Despite rumors that Alphas kill weak wolves, he insists on his loyalty and care for Elena. Confused by a doctor calling her 'Luna,' she confronts her mate, who gently tells her she doesn't have to address him as Alpha, and admits the doctor was correct—Elena is destined to be his Luna. As Elena grapples with this truth, she asks when she can return to Redcreek, leaving her future uncertain.
