Your mate can smell you. Once he mounts you, he can track you by the bond. Pull you by the leash. You’ll never get away. My trembling hand grabs the knob, and I can’t stop myself from pushing the door open. I’m not going to run away. I don’t do that anymore. The last time,…

He slowly rises to his feet again, turning to gaze at me, narrow-eyed as if he’s trying to figure me out. I stare at my feet. I know I don’t really have a choice. Sooner or later, I’ll go into full-blown heat, and then it won’t matter that I’m scared. I’ll get on all fours…

Why would he be? I’m not a threat. After a few more rolls, he gets bored and flips onto his flank to check my reaction. I’m not stupid. I know this is a display of submission, but I also know it’s a lie. He’s easily twice my size, and under the filthy, matted coat, his…

For a second, we’re silent, and then all three of us exhale a long sigh in unison. Mari drops her head back and closes her eyes. Kennedy slumps forward and slices herself another hunk of cheese. I know exactly what they’re thinking. It’s been a long day already, and we’re not even halfway done. In…

A quarter mile is a head start. A long skirt with thick tights can get in a male’s way long enough to give you a chance to escape. Run and hide. Run and hide. Run and hide. My wolf chants her mantra as she dashes along the border between us. She’s really amped up, even…

“Thanks,” I say. As we approach Leith, he straightens, still kneeling over Bram. He throws his head back, gasping for breath. The strands of his hair not coated in blood shine golden in the late afternoon sun. A wide, mad smile, gleaming as white as bone, breaks across his face. “Oh god,” Tandie mutters, horrified….

Folks move to clear a path for us as we make our way for Bram, and then surge back together behind us to form an impenetrable wall of bodies. For the first time, my confidence wobbles. We’re vastly outnumbered, and even though Alec is uncommonly strong, if everyone attacks as a pack, it’d be like…

Leith swings a leg over the bench and sits down at our table without invitation, leaving Tandie standing. I gesture to the free seat next to me, and she takes it, giving Alec a wide berth as she circles around. Close up, I see there’s a clammy sheen to her skin. She doesn’t look well….
