All Sage ever wanted was a mate. He vowed to not be like his mother and hate his birthday, nor his mate. He's known his parents story as soon as he was old enough to understand just how important mates were. Eclipse is a wild spirit, never stopping until she gets what she wants. This quickly brings trouble, not only to her, but to her clan, and no one knows how to fix it. Unlike Sage, Eclipse wasn't taught about mates, nor the history or importance of them. She always figured one day she'd find a nice tod to settle down with and have kits with one day. Boy was she wrong. ~~~~~~~~ Book #2 in The One series. You don't have to read book one in order to read this one, but it is advised because it might help you better understand Sage's parents and their actions.
