Magic past the Awakened Moon. Two-Natured London 8.5.. Two-Natured London

When Grant Campbell, the alpha of White Lodge wolf-shifter clan, finds a lost leopard-shifter cub, he knows exactly who can help him: Verona Sullivan, the beta of Maze Hill leopards. The woman who has been occupying his thoughts recently, so much so that his wolf is ready to initiate the mating call. Unfortunately, the feeling doesn't seem to be mutual. Rona Sullivan has survived the trauma of her birth clan dying, so she's determined to make sure her adoptive clan thrives.
She needs to find a leopard mate who is willing to move into her clan and give her leopard cubs. Lusting after a wolf alpha who can't give her either is a distraction she doesn't need. Not even when her leopard really seems to like him. As they try to solve the mystery of the leopard cub together, their second natures keep pressuring them for the mating bond, much to Grant's delight. No one is listening to what Rona and her clan needs.
Not even herself, it seems, as she's willing to do everything in her power to give Grant and his clan everything they need. Just like a bonded mate would. Even if it means raiding a renegade laboratory developing a drug that spells bad news for shifters. Will a stubborn alpha wolf win over an even more stubborn leopard woman determined to keep him at bay, or will renegades destroy their future before they acknowledge their feelings?
