Celeste reappears in his life—bringing a secret that could either destroy everything or save it. Will Louis stay on his path? Or does his heart still hold space for the love that once betrayed him?

Following the synopsis (in the first chapter), the Alpha was faced with so many problems that he felt he would quake. While his pack was at war with some real wolves, (they were werewolves kicked down by Zeus from heaven. Zeus had turned them into wolves) he was helped by some Nymphs after he had been shot by some humans. The Nymphs needed him to be their leader to fight some Centuars as a token of appreciation. His pack had been colonized by the real wolves. He couldn't leave the Nymphs neither by choice nor force. He did complete his contract with the Nymphs and went to fight for the freedom of his mates. He was shocked to realize that the rogue, Chloe had become their leader and Darius, the sage was dead.

He would go back to the Nymph for help.
