Done Begging for My Parents' Love

Harper is the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Crescent Ridge pack, yet her parents pour all their attention into her twin brothers, Jaxon and Wyatt. Every time she reaches for a sliver of their love, she is told to be more mature. A dinner of crushed nuts she is severely allergic to, a bedroom swallowed by her brothers' gym equipment, and a family that never saves her a cookie make one thing clear: their fairness only ever lands on her when blame is being handed out.

So Harper quietly accepts an invitation from the Bladewolf pack to serve as their lead apothecary, due to leave in three days, on her twenty-fifth birthday. Until then she must keep brewing potions for Jaxon and Wyatt, whose clashing demands leave her starving and weak, while her mother Corrine and father Silas look on with disapproval.

When Silas announces that Jaxon and Wyatt will run two pack enterprises and asks Harper to surrender the division she manages, she finally pushes back. For the first time, she questions the fairness her father always preached, and his temper flares.
