In various books discussing the anatomy of a shifter it was written time and again in bold letters that when meeting the shifter, beast, for the first time the mate was not supposed to run especially when the other was human.
Human mates were dainty aur reason could be called as fragile which was not differentiated by the gender. Humans in comparison to the shift community were very weak which is why shifters had an unnecessary and overprotective need to protect them from anything and everything.
Running from the beast itself triggered the beast into thinking that something was wrong with the mate which made them chase and hunt them down, nevermind the natural Instinct of the Predator.
