Nora Bennett asks the Moonshadow Registry for a courtship wolf but receives Kieran Vale, a guarded, unverified wolf who refuses every attempt at intimacy. When the Registry sends Leo as the corrected match, Kieran's jealousy and devotion trigger a High Alpha awakening. Nora chooses Kieran, but their relationship can survive only if they stop treating love as a contract assignment. Through Registry investigations, separation fears, and a voluntary status conversion, Kieran becomes an independent partner and proves he was never the wrong match.
