The Run

In "The Run" by Alana Dyer, ancient werewolf legends speak of the Moon Goddess and soulmate blessings, but the grim reality is "The Run." This brutal event occurs twice yearly during a blue moon, where she-wolves flee their male counterparts. Capture results in rape and branding, marking them as claimed. Grace Harvest, who has evaded this fate since turning eighteen, can no longer escape. Her last chance to avoid a forced mating until she finds love hinges on a bet with her Alpha. If Grace wins, he must abolish The Run for his pack, allowing them freedom to find love. If she loses, she will be mated, and her pack forced to participate. Her plans are complicated by Caden Wolfrain, a golden-haired wolf who immediately captivates her. Will Grace prioritize her bet, will Caden win her heart, or will his secrets compel her to sever ties, regardless of the pain?
