Chapter 1

Soon-to-be eighteen-year-old Kaia Williams sneaks out her bedroom window in the middle of the night to her oasis and finds herself eye-to-eye with Zion, the soon-to-be Alpha. Zion quickly realizes that Kaia is a human, and although he senses they are mates, he hides the nature of his being. Kaia, struggling with what appears to be severe anxiety and PTSD, soon discovers the parents who once left her as an orphan have a secret. As Kaia digs deeper into her past and relationship with Zion, she realizes some secrets should stay hidden. Will these secrets put Kaia in danger and how will Zion react as Kaia puts herself in harm's way without thinking about those who care about her?
