Ever since Hawk Shifter Ash suffered near fatal wounds in a Raven attack, he has slumped into a deep depression. Now unable to walk, let alone shift, he has lost his spark for life and his friends and loved ones fear they will lose him forever. Desperate, they think that the only one who can give him the will to live is Doc Featherstone, the one man that Ash has ever shown any interest in. The problem is Doc Featherstone has returned to his family to recover from his own wounds from the attack. Bobcat shifter, Joshua Featherstone has harbored a secret attraction for the spunky Hawk shifter for a long time. But, he has kept his distance, afraid that their age difference would be too big to overcome. But, once he hears that Ash is in dire need of his help, Joshua runs back to the coalition. Will he make it in time? Or has Ash turned to the darkness forever.
