The Run Novel

Werewolf legends spanning centuries speak of a Moon Goddess bestowing soulmates upon her creations. However, the reality is far darker: soulmates do not exist. Instead, there is The Run. Held twice yearly during blue moons, this ancient event forces she-wolves to flee from males. Capture results in rape, marking, and claiming by the first wolf to take them. No wolf escapes participation—including Grace Harvest. Having avoided The Run since adulthood, Grace can no longer refuse. Desperate to remain unmated until she finds true love, she proposes a wager to her Alpha. If Grace wins, he must cease forcing pack members into The Run and allow them to seek love naturally. If he wins, Grace will be mated and her pack forced into The Run regardless. Grace's resolve is tested when she encounters Caden Wolfrain, a golden-haired wolf who captivates her immediately. As she pursues victory in her bet, Grace must navigate her growing feelings for Caden while uncovering dangerous secrets he harbors. Will his hidden truths shatter their connection, or can their bond survive the revelations ahead?
