"Let's taste them without falling into their grasp," I whispered madly with lust to my best friend Xanne.

Two formidable Lycans are hot on our trail, determined to claim us as their mates.

Crescent Moon cowardly slaughtered ours, the Eclipse Howlers, when I found my dying Luna-mother, she made me promise to deliver the mysterious box in her hand to the King and Queen of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves when I turn eighteen. Xanne, the Beta's hybrid daughter, and me, still minors, were the only survivors of the massacre.

But the desperate Lycans, who had been searching for their fated mates for years, sensed us early on. But we are not ready yet, we are on a special assignment and besides, they will have to wait until we come of age.

But the chase intensifies, and they won’t give up and do everything in their power to catch up with us while we make our way to the Kingdom. Thanks to Xanne's magic tricks and potion, we can fend them off. But not for long.

Our mates are close to us again, the mate pull is overpowering us, it's almost impossible to subdue. In the end, we have to submit to these powerful Lycans.

Four fated mates arrive at the Palace, where Warrior Eon awaits us. When we meet him, the mate bond kicks in again, leading to unprecedented challenges in our relationships.

Deception and intrigue tear us apart, pups are traded for power, until we are forced to reveal the secrets that take place between the Palace walls... and friends become enemies …
