When Kacie’s alpha hits her, she knows it’s time to leave her pack. Using Shifters United’s help line, she makes her way north to Iron Horse territory where a safe house awaits. She plans to stay there until she can move north, but when she realizes her mate’s pack runs the safe house, perhaps she’s found her home after all.Sloan Dundrick knew first-hand what abuse could do to a family. His … family. His sister had died because of it, and that’s why he’d built a safe house on his family’s land. When he hears word of an unmated female needing sanctuary, he offers. Then he discovers it’s his mate. Nothing will stop him from claiming what is his and ensuring her alpha receives retribution for the pain he caused her.
An alpha’s challenge threatens everything Kacie and Sloan hold dear. Will the pack survive? More importantly, will she be able to remain in her mate’s arms.
Note: This book was previously published as part of an anthology.

Kacie is the only unmated female in her pack. Her alpha tells her that she’s to be mated & not by her choosing. They argue about this & signing a treaty with a shifter group, & he strikes her hard across the face sending her flying across the room. Sloan, having heard about a female trying to leave her pack, shows up & realizes that it’s Kacie, his mate. He had previously met her, but knowing the type of alpha she’s under, he was unable to approach her the first time they met. When she gets to the safe house, she meets up with Sloan again as the safe house is on his land. When the leader of the shifter group shows up, she has to answer questions & finds out that her alpha has reported her as having been forcible taken by Sloan & his pack & he wants alpha’s rights as he challenges the other alpha. Everyone knows that Kacie & Sloan are mates, especially after they have bonded. Kacie’s former alpha shows up for the challenge & Kacie finally confronts him.
I won’t give anything else away as I hate to give spoilers. This is a very fast moving story. It’s different from a lot of plots. Sloan is a very strong character & he know what he wants. The characters are well-written. I thought some of the world building could have been more detailed, but it by no means takes away from the story. It does have violence, including abuse, but it does end with an HEA.
I loved this in every single way. The characters are wonderful, it wasn’t like many other paranormal romance stories where it’s just ‘we are paranormal, we are mates, HEA.’ This had conflict and depth that has deeper roots than many stories.

This is a short book but it was a cute story. The characters had chemistry right from the beginning which is always nice to read about. I did feel it was kind of lacking in some places but I still enjoyed it
This was a sweet story of shifter running to a safe house after her alpha hit her. Once there she met her mate. I loved that this story was not the kind to use the enemy issues and fighting as an excuse to interfere with their romance. It really was a sweet romance with some hot love making

Kacie gets hit by her Alpha and knows it is time to leave the pack.
Wolf shifter Kacie goes to see her Alpha in another attempt to talk him into joining Shifters United she finds he has a completely different topic in mind. He informs her that there will be a new member joining the pack and that she is expected to mate with this stranger. She refuses and keeps doing so as they argue then he lashes out hitting her near her eye so she storms out. She calls the Shifters United helpline and while she waits for them to send her the address of a shelter she packs up what she can to take with her then armed with the address heads out on the four hour journey. Sloan had seen Kacie at a meeting of the packs months before and was heading to talk to her Alpha when she stormed past him and when her gets a message telling him that a female from this pack is on the run and be making for the shelter he had built in honor of his late sister he knows exactly where he will find her.

Enjoyed the story. It is well written, easy to read and entertaining. Kacie escapes her pack and goes to a safe house for shifters where she meets her mate Sloan. The story also revolves her old alpha who does not want to change his old fashion way of ruling by use of power and force. There are now very few left in her old pack as most have already left. There is a lot that happens in the book and I would highly recommend it as a great read.
When Kacie went to her Alpha to discuss joining Shifters United, she had no concrete expectations of him agreeing to join. What she was not expecting was his insistence that she wed a much older man she had never met, and her Alpha assaulting her once she refused.
A rough beginning for the next phase of her life. One way or another, Kacie will face finding herself and dealing with being newly made – if she the strength and luck, along with the support, it might just be with her true mate.
Intense KU romance read.

Kacie had to get away from her pack after her alpha hits her. Sloan from another pack happens to show up on the front porch and hears what happened. He helps her up and tells her to pack her stuff and go. Not remembering him and the fact they are mates she contacts Carmen and tells her she’s on her way to the safe house. Yep, that’s right it happens to be the safe house Sloan had bilt after what happened to his sister. But a confrontation is coming and soon. HEA.
