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

Asa woke up to a warm presence next to him in bed. 


The morning still burned bright, even though they stayed up so late, consummating their love.


Teakwood and lilac swirled around him, the two scents intertwining.


He stretched his sore body, memories of last night swirling in his mind.


Everything fell into place last night.He and Chris renewed their bond and redid the mating run. Their bodies moved in a synchronicity that Asa thought impossible. How could something like that, something neither of them had ever done before, be so good, so perfect?


Now, waking up the next morning, he felt exactly how he always thought he would after the run. 


Everything that he thought wrong before about their mating had somehow been righted overnight. 


Chris belonged to him and he belonged to Chris. Nothing would break them apart now.
