On the night when the Order, the cult of dragon-shifters that Mason belongs to, is holding their sacrifice, called the Culling, Mason sees Laney, and knows that he needs to save her from an awful end. 
Laney has gone to what she thinks is an underground rave. When Mason saves her, they must go on the run. She finds herself instantly attracted to him, and she wants nothing more than a happily-ever-after, but neither one of them knows if they will even survive. Because Mason saved her, he has interrupted the sacrifice. The Order will stop at nothing to get them. 

*** Standalone short story, no cliffhangers, with happily ever after ending. ***
