HADLEIGH
About this story
Welcome to the Full Moon Breeding Club.
Facing extinction through population decline, shifters have revealed themselves to the human world, seeking mates to enact their Shifter Survival Plan. But the only way to pass on the wolf is through a a virus that requires a perfect, primal storm to take hold: the adrenaline of the chase, and a primal claim — and the wealthiest packs are willing to pay whatever it takes to make it happen.
The solution? Highly secure, elite, three-day retreats where pragmatic human volunteers are paid exorbitant sums to step into the ancestral woods as "prey" for feral Alphas.
Hadleigh Stafford is completely out of options. Drowning in family debt, she signs a contract that promises one million dollars just for surviving the weekend. A second million if she leaves carrying a shifter's pup. It’s a calculated risk. She just has to survive three nights in the woods.
Grant Austen is the reluctant poster boy for the Shifter Survival Project. He expects another agonizing weekend of playing the predator, forcing himself to maintain human restraint while hunting a stranger. But the second Hadleigh walks into the lodge, Grant's dormant wolf wakes up with a single, absolute demand: Mine.
When the sun sets and the full moon rises over the Cairnwood estate, the hunt begins. But Grant isn't just looking for a carrier for his pups. He's hunting for his mate.
