A few weeks after her parents were tragically killed in a rogue attack, 18-year-old Celine finds herself in a surprising turn of events. She finds an abandoned baby while meandering through the forest close to her pack’s territory. The child’s small, defenceless cries break Celine’s heart, and she instantly feels a strong bond with the child. She bravely decides to adopt and raise the baby as her own, despite her youth and the enormous obstacles that lie ahead.
Being a single mother is not an easy life. Celine finds it difficult to manage her new obligations while grieving for her parents and working to give the child stability, love, and safety. However, she secretly believes that this baby is more than a random encounter—it feels like fate. She thinks that she may have been able to endure the agony of her recent loss because of this child.
But her choice causes friction in her pack and raises concerns. Will she be permitted to keep and raise the child by the Alpha, who maintains rigid traditions? What will the pack think of her unorthodox decision? Celine’s path takes yet another uncertain turn when she eventually meets her fated mate, the person who is meant to complete her. Will she and the child she now views as her own be accepted by her partner as they are? Or will he turn her away because he can’t accept the life she has chosen?
Celine’s journey is full of unknowns. She must face her inner strength and decide what she really wants for herself and her child as she negotiates the difficulties of being a single mother, her loyalty to her pack, and her quest for love. One thing is certain despite the uncertainty surrounding her future: Celine’s story is only getting started, and the choices she makes today will determine both her own and the child she has vowed to protect’s future.
