Primal Pursuit — Rebecca Airies

Zaden Felinian has finally found a home for his pack after years of the traveling life of a mercenary. The need to find a mate of his own has only grown as his life became more stable. He hardly expected to find his mate as he waited in line for the next travel-gate.

High Indiri Tara Sedai is scouting for a planet suitable for a colony of Indiri healers. She's been looking at likely worlds for months and even at first glance, she finds nothing to recommend Deral.

She's trapped on Deral with a man who at first seems a little insane. Discovering that he's a shifter is the least of her worries. He's decided that she's his mate and that's just the start of her troubles.
