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

With Jacob out of the picture, things should have gotten better. 


Instead, any time he was near Chris, he got this horrible feeling in his stomach telling him to move away from the alpha. Chris disgusted him.


Every time Asa closed his eyes, he saw Jacob’s mangled face, and instead of feeling elation that his mate fought for him, he felt disgusted. 


Asa felt like he had scent deprivation again, nausea roiling through his tummy. 


Asa went into town, hanging out in areas with high concentrations of people. 


He frequented parks and the library, hoping that with each new scent, he’d feel better. 


“Asa,” Skye called and Asa looked up. 


He didn’t realize that Skye would be here in the park. 


Skye straddled the bench in front of Asa, folding their hands on the tabletop.
