Intro. In a world where strength defines worth, Vera has none.
Born into a powerful werewolf pack, she should have grown into a strong wolf like the rest of her family. Instead, she became their greatest shame. A werewolf without a wolf. Unable to shift, unable to fight, and marked by unusual silver hair and bright blue eyes, Vera has spent her entire life being treated as if she were cursed.
Her family despises her.
Her sister mocks her.
And the pack sees her as nothing more than a disappointment.
The only person Vera believed truly loved her was the boy she had given her heart to. For years she dreamed of the day he would claim her as his mate during their mating ceremony, proving to everyone that she wasn’t as worthless as they believed.

On the very day he was meant to choose her, Vera discovers the truth—he is destined for someone else.
Her sister.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Vera runs to the only place that has ever brought her peace: a hidden waterfall
