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 backed away from Jacob. He didn’t know if he could trust the shifter in front of him. He wondered if Jacob planned some kind of trick. 


“I swear Asa, you don’t have to be afraid of me,” Jacob said and Asa scoffed. 


“You kidnapped me? You wounded me! I still have the scars, of course I should be afraid of you. I know what you are capable of,” Asa accused. 


How could he trust Jacob, just like that?


Asa knew people thought of him as naive, but this was too much. 


“I know you think that I wanted to hurt you. But even from the beginning, I never wanted to hurt you. I didn’t mean to wound you. I swear. I just wanted to grab you to keep you close until I could explain why we should be together. Think about It Asa. When I took you from Chris, did I ever hurt you?” He asked and Asa shook his head. 


“No, but—” Asa began before faltering. 


Jacob hadn’t hurt him since the first night, and even then, he’d only meant to grab him.
