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 sat with Felicity in her kitchen, feeling absolutely useless as he watched Felicity clean.


Felicity made it a point to bake for the shifters that trained, and Asa helped because he had nothing else to do. 


He felt like he had before, going stir crazy. 


Only this time, it had nothing to do with being locked in. 


He wished Chris had locked him in, at least when Chris locked Asa away, Chris stayed with him. 


Chris started training three days ago, and though it seemed as if it went well, Asa couldn’t help but worry. 


He saw Chris twice a day, at sunrise and way after sunset. 


The older shifter never came home except to shower and sleep. Instead, Chris spent his days training, fighting, building, or talking. He spent his days doing anything but being with Asa. 


Asa objectively understood why Chris became so distant. 


Chris had to lead the whole pack and even if Asa didn’t agree with the war, he knew that this fight was Chris’ duty.
