Seventeen-year-old Ashley Delaney Hale has always known Beacon Hills is different. She lives with her two dads, Scott Hale-McCall and Derek Hale-McCall, and spends her days working at a cozy little café while trying to live a normal teenage life. But one evening, a peaceful walk through the woods turns into a nightmare when Ashley is chased by a terrifying rogue wolf. Just when she thinks she is about to be attacked, a massive black wolf appears and stands between her and the creature, protecting her from danger. Ashley is terrified. She doesn’t know whether the mysterious wolf is her protector—or another threat waiting to strike. What Ashley doesn’t know is that the wolf is actually Brett Talbot, a nineteen-year-old boy who attends her school and is hiding a dangerous secret. After their encounter in the woods, Ashley starts noticing Brett everywhere. At school. At the café. Around town. Coincidence? Brett knows the truth. He was the wolf who saved her. And while Ashley has no idea that the mysterious creature is secretly watching over her, Brett intends to keep his identity hidden for as long as possible. Because in Beacon Hills, the biggest danger isn’t always the monster you can see. Sometimes, it’s the secret standing right beside you.
