On the first Full moon of March, when the moon is at its highest peak, all unmated shifters must run into the woods from the Maverick and Sweetwater packs in search of a mate. Shifters chase down their fated mate and claim them under the moonlight.

For Asa, the run is the day he has been looking forward to all of his life. He is excited to be mated until an unfortunate encounter at the edge of the woods pushes him into peril. His life has turned upside down as he faces something he never thought he would, an injury and two shifters who want him. 

Chris didn't look forward to the run. As his last run, thankfully, he could finally melt back into obscurity. He just wants to make sure he gets out of the woods, unattached, and gets on with his life until he catches a light Lilac scent. Suddenly, he finds himself falling head over heels for his mate. His only goal now is to protect Asa, no matter what.

THE CHASE

Chris patted the bathroom counter and Asa hopped up, holding his t-shirt in between his teeth. 


Seven days since the run, two since he saw Xolo, he expected Asa’s wounds to heal by now. 


Chris’ own wounds rarely lasted more than three days. 


Although, Chris couldn’t recall ever having wounds as deep as Asa’s.


“You’re still not healed up yet,” Chris said and Asa peered around his shirt to look at the wound. 


He prodded the edge of it and Chris slapped his hands away. 


“Don’t mess with it too much, it’ll get infected,” Chris cautioned and Asa rolled his eyes. 


“I’m not messing with it, I’m just checking it,” Asa said through a mouthful of shirt. 


“That’s what I’m for, now be still,” Chris said, wrapping the wound back up.
