**This version is no longer available. It can now be found included in the republished Coyote Home.** Forced to make the heartwrenching decision to leave Whispering Mountains, Rowan Wilder isn't about to go without securing her bond with Quinn MacClellan. Neither expected their first time to be on the forest floor or while running to escape a madman but when it comes to claiming their mate, nothing can stop the hunger from burning out of control and consuming them both. Publisher's Note: This prequel to the Coyote Hunger series is not a standalone story; it has a cliffhanger ending. The next book in the series, Coyote Home, is needed to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
