Destiny Phillips is dreading her eighteenth birthday because as a shifter, she must join the 'Mating Chase'. It has been a tradition for hundreds of years, the Male that can catch a Female, claims her as his mate. The stronger the Female, the better the chase.
Destiny wishes things were like all the books she read were your mate is made just for you and when you meet them, it's love at first sight. Unfortunately, this is real life and you are stuck with whoever catches you first.
Her parents have trained her all of her life to be strong, her father is a pack warrior and one of the toughest wolves there is. Some say he is even stronger than the Alpha. Unfortunately, the 'Mating Chase' is open to all shifters and she could get stuck with anything, fox, wolf, bear, anything. That's what scares her the most.
A human took everything from her. To escape the pain and heart wrenching emotions of loss, she fled into her wolf form and into the wilderness. She vowed to never again take human form and to live the rest of her life with the wolf pack she had found. She learned to hunt and track quickly. At first, the brutal life bothered her, but soon she became more beast then girl.
One night though, an enemy pack invades her packs territory and she is injured during the fight. When she wakes, she is in human form and a park ranger sits above her, tending to her. She had vowed to never take human form again, but something about him calls to her. She feels torn. She wants to stay a wolf, but his voice and image won't leave her mind. Will she choose to stay with him, or return to her pack and once again shun humans?
