The 5th book in the Alpha & Omega series. The Marrok is out of town when an SOS comes in from one of the wildlings on the outskirts of the Pack's lands. The wildlings are mostly werewolves (with a Fae or two thrown in) that are not stable enough to be brought within the Pack nor are they stable enough to be let loose with the human population so the Marrock has them close by for their protection and the protection of everyone else. Now though, Charles must go in and see what has them so spooked that they would call for help and Anna goes with him in the hopes that she may be able to keep things peaceful enough that Charles will not need to act as the Pack enforcer. What they find though, is a group of highly skilled and well-armed military type people trying to kidnap one of the wildlings when no one should even know about them. This points to a traitor in their midst so now Charles and Anna must work to warn the other wildlings and figure out who is betraying the Pack and make them stop by any means necessary. What they find though is something out of the darkest magic of the witchborn and not easy to stop at all.
I so love Ms. Briggs books in general and this world in specific. It's taken longer for the Alpha & Omega characters to really grow on me but they have and while I still eagerly await the next Mercy book, these are definitely a fun way to pass the time.
