Challenged by Tradition and Desire

By A R Abbott

A wedding brings the House of Ward together-but change is already at the door.

As Silas and Sara celebrate their union, Beth's accidental collision with Garrett-a powerful, yellow-eyed shifter and the Pack Leader's son-pulls her into the complexities of Pack life. Their unexpected connection stirs old traditions, complicates lingering rivalries, and poses questions the shifter community has long avoided.

At the same time, the House of Ward is adjusting to changes of its own. Bruce's new life as a vampire alters the household's delicate balance, leaving Kate to navigate unfamiliar emotions alongside her growing responsibilities as leader. Those responsibilities grow heavier when her sire, Alexander, reappears-charming, persistent, and far too interested in House affairs.

Pulled between vampire politics and her ties to the shifter Pack, Kate must decide how deeply she's willing to step into the wider supernatural world-and what kind of leader she wants to be.

In a season of celebration, tradition is tested, loyalties are gently strained, and desire has a way of complicating everything.
