One sealed report with her name on it. One wealthy, fresh-faced Omega academy graduate who stepped into her role—and into her pack—like she'd been waiting for it. Hazel was demoted, disgraced, and reassigned to Sweetwater Falls.\u003ci\u003e Population small.\u003c\/i\u003e Crime rate suspiciously perfect. Secrets buried deep.
