Cynthia saved three wolf shifters, but they quickly fell for her sister Phoebe and drained her. She traded them for Phoebe’s cold serpent shifter Soren. Pressured into a problematic arranged marriage by her family, she plotted a fake wedding and fled on the ceremony day. Soren chased her faithfully while the regretful wolves tried to win her back. Later, Cynthia returned, took over the failing family business, and stayed with the devoted Soren.
