Belonging A verb: To fit in a specified place, to be allied to, to be linked to. Growing up with a cruel Alpha of a father, in a Pack full of werewolves, Rory Beaumont taught herself to be tough and untrusting of anyone. When her father tells her that she is leaving home to marry another Alpha's son, she has to be smart, cautious, and resilient. She knows that everyone has an ulterior motive. A 'mate' is a werewolf's soulmate. As a child, Rory thought a 'mate' was something to believe in. As a twenty-year-old, she was convinced that it was just a fairy tale and that she would never find her mate. But when she meets her mate, her whole life gets turned upside down. She finds that the Moon goddess that brought them together has a sick sense of humor.
