The Leopard Mage

I traveled across two continents to guide and protect the shifter clans during the exodus to our new home in the Ximeran system. Though my journey was hard, my ancestors promised me happiness with a mate when I finish my tasks. The ancestors were wrong. My mate doesn't want me, and I convince myself that fulfilling my duties will be enough. My snow leopard and I both know I'm lying. We want him. And despite his words to the contrary, we know he wants us, too. Yet there are those who plot against me. Someone is stealing shifters from their homes, and the thief is none other than the brother of the male chosen to be my mate. Can we work together to stop him? And can we find love despite everything that stands against us?
