I've always been intrigued by werewolf and shapeshifter stories. Almost to a "T" everyone of them has been about a wolf shifter who has found his one and only true mate. The mate that he will be faithful to until the day he dies because that is does in the wild.One of the best put together series about werewolves and shapeshifters I read was the Bloodrunner series by Rhyannon Byrd. The series centers on three wolf shifters who are considered half-breeds by their own kind and because of that they must prove themselves worthy of being werewolves. In order for them to remain with their own kind they are forced to hunt rouges werewolves. After so many kills they are able to join the pack, but still they will never be equals to those that are born full wolves.
Finding this to be unfair these wolves follow the wishes of their pack, but they harbor a great deal of resentment locked inside. Now a group of Rouges threaten the whole pack and it is up to these "bloodrunners" to go out and save the pack and the humans, as well.
Although this is a series was released in 2008 it is still available through Amazon and many used book sites.

Description from back of book:
Five seconds ago, Mason Dillinger would have sworn that it could never happen.
That a woman who was his perfect match even existed. And that he'd find her in a bustling café. Yet just the scent of sweet, mortal Torrance Watson ignited a driving, explosive need to claim her that he knew his Pack would never sanction.
Worse, the rogue werewolf he'd been hunting had sensed that attraction and made Torry his prey. Forced to safeguard her from this ruthless assassin who already posed a threat to his Pack, Mason now faced the ultimate challenge. Does he have the courage to cross the
line by sealing the blood bond that will make Torry his alone—a disloyalty few of his kind ever survived—or live an eternity without love?

Description from back of book:
There was nothing simple about what Brody Carter had to do.
With any other woman, yes. But not with Michaela Doucet. He barely knew the provocative Cajun, but already her beautiful face haunted his dreams. True, women like Michaela never took interest in guys like him—ones who were scarred and bitter enough not to care what the world thought about them. But that had no bearing now that he must protect Michaela from the Lycans who wanted her dead. Even if this decision would change his entire life. Even if it was pure madness.
Brody had no other choice. He never had.
