Tenley White's life fell apart with one tragic accident. They say that every time a door closes, a window opens somewhere else. The door slamming mercilessly in her face was the loss of her parents, her window—well, that came in the form of a family—specifically, a certain boy who purrs. She may not have acute hearing, smelling, or the strength of her newfound friends. But even as a mere mortal, she knows when she's being watched, and hunted. She can feel the predator closing in on her. There's no distance far enough between her and the lurking danger. Then she gets a warning, one that sends her far away from the boy she's fallen in love with, as well as the security of those she's bonded to. There's no foreseeable safety net where she's going. She'll have to learn to listen to her instincts in order to survive.

Tripp Dagon had his life pre-planned for him upon conception. He would be the next generation of enforcers for the Moonstone Falls pride. With no interaction with humans before Tenley, he begins questioning what's so dangerous, so alarmingly wicked, about human beings that the clowder has banned relationships forming between the two factions. As he spends time with her, the harder he plunges into the depths of love. His tiger has claimed her—his family refers to her as kin. The only thing missing is the proclamation from his inner entity that Tenley is his mate. But before he comes of age, she runs off in the pitch darkness of the night, taking his heart and soul with her.

When they reconnect by happenstance, fears of abandonment and safety stay in the front of their minds. But as the past catches up with them, they have to decide if they're stronger together or if it's better for all involved that they go their separate ways?

Welcome to Moonstone Falls Pride.
