I was just a teenager when I ran away from the pride that had made my life hell growing up. Leaving home wasn’t easy, since I also had to leave Daisy, the one good thing in my otherwise rough life. But scraping by, a lone lion shifter in a big world, I ended up doing some terrible things. I even ended up betraying Daisy in the worst possible way. Now I have a different life, playing for the St. Dominic Cougars and living with three other lion shifters who are as good as brothers to me. Then one day, Daisy appears with a little boy who she says belongs to me.

When I share one night with Luca, the captain of St. Dominic’s hockey team, The Cougars, and an alpha of a pride that has feuded with mine for generations, I think that’s all it is: One night.
