As Alpha, he knows that finding and punishing the murderous entity is his responsibility, and he's not about to rest until he sees justice done.

As the Keeper of the werewolves, it's her duty to guard and protect the packs. Working by Danyon's side to stop an unknown killer?and trying to deny the potency of their illicit attraction?poses a threat to her heart unlike any she's ever known, ;and if she becomes the killer's next target, it could be the death of her?.
