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

He wanted to shift and run far away from there. 


He wanted to run until he passed the border until he didn’t know where he was. 


He wanted to run until his legs gave out, until his tendons shredded, until his lungs collapsed, until he was more wolf than Chris.


He wanted to head into the woods until he never came out, until he disappeared and people stopped looking for him, stopped missing him. 


He wanted to run until he forgot his name. 


No matter how hard he tried, he’d never forget Asa, his lilac scent engraved itself in Chris’ brain. 


He knew that his mating stood on a precipice, one false move and it would be all over.
