Before coming to the Jarvela Farm, a sanctuary located in Finland, jaguar shifter Noah Moore did something that terrified him: he fell in love. But he was brave and took the chance ... and ended up fleeing the States to nurse a broken heart. Though he’s happy enough living among others of his kind, being surrounded primarily by happy couples reminds him of what he’s missing.<br><br>When Dallas, the biracial tiglon shifter responsible for Noah’s heartache, turns up at the farm, Noah gets the shock of his life. Though the feelings are still there, so is the pain. Dallas desperately wants to make it up to Noah and win him back, but he knows he has to do it on Noah’s terms -- and only with the farm family’s approval. Can Dallas convince Noah to stop living in the past and move into the future with him?

Tiglon by the Tail

That was something Noah didn’t like to think of;all of them were still a little shaken by the events.Instead of wallowing in things he couldn’t change or help,the jaguar began to run faster.Noah let go of his human self for a moment,keeping tabs out for rabbits or fowl,and dodged trees,rocks,and bushes,treating the forest like the obstacle course it was.


After ten minutes of running in a large circle,Noah heard the rustle of a rabbit in the brush.He stopped,listened more carefully,and began to stalk closer.He wasn’t hungry,so the jaguar might be persuaded to stay happy by not killing the poor creature.Scaring it was just a way for the cat to play.


Even though the forests of Finland weren’t the preferred stomping grounds for the jaguar,Noah could still enjoy this to the fullest by letting the cat steer.His strong body moved ever so slowly through the heather-covered forest floor.He could feel his tail twitching subtly,the cat readying to pounce.
