Sequel to 'Freeing Anvi', but can be read as a stand-alone

Ten years have passed since the demise of Banastre, and the Yuen Pack thrives under the leadership of the dictator's benevolent stepson, Oscar Yuen. With a flourishing community and accumulation of wealth, the Yuen Pack has become second only to the Alpha King. However, deep within the pack, there lies an overbearing fear. Despite being kind and attempting to amend his stepfather's past, Oscar always feels like he's living in the shadow of the monster. No matter what he does, he's always Banastre's son.

When a murder occurs at the Pack Borders, killing two humans, Oscar is forced to seek help from the nearby, human-inhabited town of Bourdier, led by Mayor Lance Dafowick and home to many anti-werewolf settlers. Among those include Ananya Kaushikh, a disabled recruit for the police department. With her sunny attitude and optimism, she's a stark contrast to Oscar, though he's inexplicably drawn to her, even more so when she's tasked to work with him to capture the murderer.

As their feelings blossom amidst a world where werewolves and humans are meant to live separate lives, the murderer continues to run rampant through Bourdier, threatening the lives of many, but also inviting an underlying danger, one that had laid dormant for many years. Oscar and Ananya are forced to navigate their feelings through the return of their demons. Will they succeed in freeing themselves from the shadows they'd left behind? Will humans and werewolves make amends? And more importantly: will Oscar and Ananya accept each other's love through the drastic changes that affect their lives?

Anvi's used to being a nobody. The runt. The broken one. The submissive. Since her parents died in a fire, she's been Alpha Banastre's slave, enduring his daily beatings and chores at the cost of having a home to stay in and a crust of bread to eat at night. Anvi's only shining beacon of light is Alpha Banastre's wife, Luna Hailey, who has shown her nothing but kindness but can do very little to control her husband. It's grim, but to Anvi, her life seems to be over...

When Anvi is brought along by her Luna to be her companion during the Alpha meetings, she is introduced to Alpha King Jackson Gage, leader of all the werewolves, and Anvi's mate. Although initially unsure, Anvi quickly warms up to Jackson, who spoils her with a sense of love and affection that she hasn't felt in years.

But Anvi's new life comes at a cost. Now mentally unstable and reduced to a status equal to that of a Rogue, ex-Alpha Banastre is out for revenge. Because of Anvi, he's not only lost his pack and title but also his wife and family. Lives are lost and as the new Luna Queen, it's Anvi's job to help protect her pack. But how can she protect them when she can't even protect herself? And how is it that Banastre keeps getting into the pack?

Twenty-five-year-old Adhira Chawla is happy with her life as Beta to the Alpha King, Liam. Living with her family and friends, Adhira's world is thrown upside down when Liam's wife, Casey is put in a coma. Liam enlists Adhira to help him find the person responsible, but Adhira doesn't expect to fall in love with Liam, or that her feelings would be reciprocated. But with Liam's marriage constantly impeding their relationship, will Adhira ever become something more to Liam? Or will she always just stay a Beta?
