Werewolf Randall Carter has problems of his own. He loves his pack, but as their Omega he’s always the one to bear the brunt of their rage.

Worse, they may not have too long to figure their feelings out. Someone or something is gunning for Ellis and anyone else who gets in the way; they won’t rest until the vampire is destroyed.
