Lead kedge, Dair, was annoyed with his alpha, Kylor. The alpha master dyad was arrogant and refused to listen to Dair, humiliating him in front of the whole clan. Well, Dair did what he wanted, and ended up in a predicament he never saw coming. He also never expected to run into one of his mates. A tiny were spirit, Kymone was everything Dair wanted in a mate, and with the added bonus of finally bringing out the strength in Dair's own weak were spirit. But things didn't go as planned, and Kymone was taken away by Kylor himself before Dair could claim his mate. Alone and hurting, Dair's anger grew until he couldn't take it anymore and he left the clan. Risking his life at every turn to relieve the guilt, anguish and depression that overtook him, he lost the will to live. Between his past and his present, his future looked bleak, until Kylor called him home to save the mate that was destined for him by the fates.
