In a world were females are subservient to males, Murphy - a young shifter fights to live the life she wants to, and make her own choices. A little easier said than done when your mate is a dominating, controlling Alpha male. "You look as if you want to run." He breathed, his ragged voice washing over Murphy like a bucket of ice cold water. Her lips tightened into a thin line as she looked at him with defiance in his eyes - oh he was going to love this. "Go on, make it more fun for me little mate...run." He whispered, pointing his hand in the direction of the looming forest. Murphy was conflicted, she knew the chase would only urge him on more but she would be damned if he thought she would give into him without a fight, so without a second thought she got up and ran, praying to whatever deity that she wouldn't be caught.
