Sometimes, meeting one's mate involves death defying stunts and destruction. Other times, it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. For Terry Hunt, it's a combination of both.
With the weight of a terrible secret threatening to crush him, Terry flees his pack, seeking to cut himself off from his past. When he steps into a random supermarket, he does not expect running into his mate Silas on a crowded aisle.
Silas is as unprepared for this development as Terry. He has no idea what to make of a mind-reading Gamma mate, and he feels terribly inadequate. But their problems are only just beginning. Silas will have to learn not only how to court a certain runaway Gamma, but also how to protect him from his own nature and from those trying to hurt him.
