It should have just been a short trip into the wilderness of the Glacier National Park, a small adventure, nothing more. They had looked forward to a few days of hiking and de-stressing before the hectics of college and life in general could catch up to them again.

(WARNING: boyxboy in later chapters)
When Aren is chased from his wolf pack after an accident in a hunting festival known as the Call of the Wild, his escape quickly gets upended.
Quite literally.
He's hit by a car, stolen from his retreat, and threatened with veterinary care by a clueless but well-meaning human. Not the best of starts to his journey, but Aren finds this accidental meeting might be just the thing he needs.
With time running out and shadows chasing him down, Aren must choose between saving himself and saving his captor.
