She dreaded the next day. The day she had to come back a fourth time. Melissa Blake, a 24-year-old unmated alpha blooded shewolf, feels compelled to take part in "The Hunting" because she is one. An yearly ritual known as "Hunting" allows werewolves to locate and claim their mates. A shewolf must participate in the Hunting every year after turning 20 until the female is mated. Melissa had previously been to the Hunting three times, but neither could she escape the interested men nor was she simply compatible with them. It was a simple idea that was frequently brutal and controlled by men. Two wolves must be compatible in order for them to mate. Although there is a broad range of compatibility, males may sometimes settle with less suitable females, whilst the latter will resist mating in the hopes of finding a better partner. The unfortunate fact is forced mating. Melissa is descended from a powerful lineage and can hold her own against the majority of alpha men with ease. However, there would be no point in battling if there were genuine compatibility. Melissa was determined to avoid being the prey on her fourth hunting, but would she have the same success as in the past?
