Selene’s eyes swept the room once more, her chest tightening. There were eight Alphas... and five Alpha heirs inside.

She knew her combat skills were strong, stronger than most wolves could ever dream of, but she was not foolish enough to think she could take them all head-on. Not like this. Not when every one of them carried the strength of a pack behind their blood.
