Failure isn’t an option.

 

It only takes one thing to change the path of a child’s life.

If no one steps in for them, the consequences can have long-term impacts, and the outcome is usually not favorable.

​

Zain Sanders had one of those moments when he was nine. Since then, he’s been hidden, protected, and prepared for when it all fell apart.

​

He can’t ask his friends for their help—he already made that mistake years ago and won’t put anyone else at risk.

​

This time, he’s going to end it for good. He just needs to pull off three impossible tasks to do it.

 

An outsider to her clan, she has been left on her own, constantly moving from one area to another so they can’t find her and take her back home.

​

She’s had so many names she can’t remember what her real name is. This year, it’s Oaklyn Mays—next year, it could be different.

​

She’s gotten good at staying off the radar of the men who want to bring her home and those who hunt her kind. No one is deciding her future for her.

​

After an accident three years ago, she could have died. If it hadn’t been for one man, she would have. When he calls her with a task he can’t ask anyone else to do, she jumps at the chance to pay her debt to him.

​

She won’t let anything get in her way. Failing isn’t a possibility she will accept.

The drama of her entire clan insisting on living close to one another was the reason Calla joined the Alliance team. She loved her family and clan but needed to see more than limited territory. It wasn’t exciting being on the coordination team, but she was on the road and seeing new places. 

​

When asked to do more to help the teams track down those responsible for the abduction and imprisonment of their kind, Calla agreed without hesitation. 

​

She takes a chance when she has the opportunity to get closer to the traitors who betrayed their clan. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. Now, all she must do is figure out where to go from here— without getting herself killed in the process. 

 

Bear’s childhood was not fun. His parents clearly hadn’t thought through naming their lion-shifter son Bear. As an adult, he’d come to realize that all the taunting had taught him that a sense of humor was better than fighting everyone. 

​

Since joining the Alliance teams, he’d had to work hard even to find a reason to smile. The atrocities shifters from all clans had suffered because of one-forms and traitors made him sick. After the teams accomplished some huge wins, he decided he was in this until all his kind were free. He was proud to do his part. 

​

Of course, if he happened to meet his mate while he traveled with the others, that was fine by him. He always wondered what sort of personality fate would give his other half and couldn’t wait to find out. If she was like other women of his clan, that was all right too; he was a patient, accepting man.
