Coming of age is a difficult transition for every young man. Add to it the pressure of shifting into a wolf for the first time and having the pack leader as a father, and you have a recipe for a full on meltdown. Jak Dakota is struggling with these changes when he meets a strange and beautiful shifter in the forest. Trouble is... she's a panther. Falling for this girl is against tradition. A union could tear apart the pack and his family. Her life could be in danger because of his selfish desires. They'll both have to decide if their friendship is worth the risk and if their hearts want something more.
