THE CHASE

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 is created by Ta'rah Kindle, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 33: Contempt

Asa POV:

Asa stood at the steps of the town hall, Chris’ hands firmly wrapped around his shoulders. Chris spent most of the morning at the Cortes farm, helping to clear out the damage from the night before.

Asa didn’t get to help. Instead, Chris regulated Asa to PR duty. He did the emotional labor while Chris did the physical.

Asa knew that people expected Lunas to behave this way. They expected Asa to give out tea and cookies and console those affected. Asa didn’t mind, he would do anything for the pack, but it felt false. Asa always had expectations foist upon him. Even from a young age, people expected him to be demure and well-behaved.

Asa spent so much of his time as a child conforming with that ideal that it became much harder getting out of it.

“We will be able to get through this. We can rebuild our pack even stronger. What does not break us will only make us stronger,” Chris spoke, his voice strong and confident.
