No matter what anyone tells you, being a mateless werewolf blows. No one knows this better than Carrie Prym, Delta of The Misfits, who has spent the last five years waiting for her fated mate to come. Tired of being alone, and ready to get down and dirty, she attends one of the city's largest Haze Parties. Unfortunately, before she can even finish her first drink, she ends up getting knocked out and kidnapped by a man who works for the mysterious underground supernatural group known as the WIC Company. When Carrie wakes up, she's forced to compete with a veritable harem of other she-wolves in the infamous Flower Moon Games, a now outlawed series of challenges that mateless ranked wolves would set in order to test the worthiness of potential she-wolf partners.
