The Elders have deemed the local locksmith worthy of protecting. Vee focuses on her work as a locksmith; being an empath makes her very aware of the supernatural beings that live amongst humans. As a serial killer terrorizes the nation from east to west coast, she can't ignore the fact the reports scream were-creature. Thankfully, she has an angel-like guardian named Durran watching her back per the Elders' decree.
When her empath powers set her attention on a girl changing into a wolf for the first time, she springs into action. Shane, the local pack leader, can't ignore Vee's involvement. He also can't deny the instant connection he has with the empath. An uncontrollable need and uncanny desire to protect Vee has him questioning if this is purely instinct or his actual feelings. As they get to know each other, romantic tensions begin to blossom between them.
He'll tear anyone apart who dares endanger her. Vee will have to decide to remain hidden or embrace her powers to protect the newfound friends and love in her life.
