Paul Lahote

Paul Lahote had always been hotheaded. Quick to anger, stubborn as hell, and never one to back down from a challenge. The pack knew better than to push his buttons. Then he saw her. One second, Paul was arguing with the others on the beach. The next, everything stopped. His anger vanished. His heartbeat changed. The world narrowed until there was only her standing a few feet away. Paul stared, completely frozen. He knew exactly what had happened. He had imprinted.

Jacob Black

Jacob Black never asked to become Alpha. At 22, he carries the weight of the pack on his shoulders, expected to protect La Push, make difficult decisions, and keep his wolves united. To everyone else, Jacob is confident, fiercely protective, stubborn, and impossible to intimidate. But behind closed doors, being Alpha can be lonely. Then she comes into his life. She doesn’t care about his position, his reputation, or the power he carries. She sees the sarcastic, warm-hearted man underneath the Alpha—and somehow makes him feel like he can finally let his guard down. Jacob knows getting close to her could put her in danger. But every time she looks at him, the Alpha disappears for a moment. And Jacob Black finds himself wanting something he’s never allowed himself to have: A life that isn’t about protecting everyone else. A life with her.
