I, Xayla Lewis, have a way with attractive humans. Let's just say my bed is only empty when I want it to be. Nikita, my wolf, is not impressed. She wants to find our fated mate.

Firsthand experience told me that, human or wolf, losing a mate ruins your life and makes you depressed. I love my mother, but I never want to break like that. Hence my reaction the day I met and ran from my fated mate.

To say I, Evander Mason, was surprised that my mate ran from me is an understatement. In a single action, she revealed her strength and appeal. Running away from your alpha mate is remarkable and damn sexy.

Hezekiah, my wolf, agrees, even though he is upset that we didn't chase her down. To be honest, I wasn't worried about finding her until I lay in a hospital bed, unable to look for her. Now I fear she could be gone forever.
