When Clarissa tells Eli about the arrival of the black magic coven, he is unsure how to protect the town and the people he loves with only one member of his pack left. He knows he needs help. Traveling from Bellehurst after attempting to form some kind of alliance with Matthias, the Alpha of a pack that prefers to remain off the radar, and secure their chance of defeating this new threat, Eli is abducted. By the time Paige realizes, he has been missing for several hours. Time that could mean the difference between life and death. She and Archer must use every means they have at their disposal to locate him, including Matthias and his pack, but without any clues they are running out of time.
