Chapter Eight

Shay listened as Lee talked to his older brother. Evan had warned her to be quiet that they would be able to hear her over the phone.

“Don’t forget that we have excellent hearing,” he’d told her.

Now she waited until the conversation was over to ask questions. Why didn’t they want their brother to know about her, and what would that mean to her if she went back with them?

I don’t know anything about them, and they’re shifters. Why do I want to believe them? It feels right to be here, but how do I know I can trust my instincts where they’re concerned?

Shay needed more answers before she’d commit to anything.

“Aaron and Levi want us to stay one more night and see if we can find out anything more. More than likely the same men will be at the bar again tonight. They’re worried about this warlock business. If we can, we need to figure out where he is. He could be in Marquand or Cascade or even one of the other little communities surrounding Shoewater land.” Lee sighed. “I don’t like this one bit.”

“Neither do I. How can we fight something we don’t know anything about or where to even look?” Evan leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Maybe we can learn something new tonight. We need to stay until they leave this time.”

“You’re going to leave me here all night?” Shay didn’t like staying all alone in the room.

“The bar closes at two, so we’ll be back soon after unless they leave earlier than that.” Lee stared hard at her. Shay fidgeted under his gaze.

“We’d take you with us, but you don’t want word to get back where you are, do you?” Evan asked.

“No. I’m just bored sitting here all night. I can’t sleep with you out there. I don’t know why.”

Lee nodded. “It’s a natural feeling when your mates are not near you. Mates need to be close to each other. The fact that we haven’t physically claimed you doesn’t stop the need, only dims it.

“What do you mean, physically claim me?” Shay wasn’t sure she liked the sound of that.

“We’ve claimed you instinctually, but to be complete mates, we have to have sex with you and bite you,” Evan hurried to explain when her mouth dropped open and she stepped back with wide eyes. “We don’t bite you as a wolf. It’s done during sex in our human form.”

Lee reached out and touched her shoulder. “We’d never do anything to harm you. We want you to understand that if nothing else right now. Our wolves would go crazy if anything happened to you. I promise we’ll keep you safe, but you have to stay here to avoid someone remembering that you were in Marquand.”

“Okay. I don’t know why, but I believe you.” Shay nodded. “I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. I’ll sleep on the loveseat since I’m shorter than either of you.”

“No. You’ll sleep between us so we know you’re safe. We won’t force you into anything, Shay.
