Chapter Nine

The lynx raced by in a blur of red and gold, close enough for the wolf to see its spots and feel the brush of his fur against his own. He bared his teeth, accepting the challenge and giving chase as the late afternoon sun beat down on them.

Run faster. Beat him.

The white wolf pushed himself harder, dodging the strangely twisted trees and red rock boulders as their destination loomed ahead.

A warm pulse of energy told him when he’d crossed the property line and it made him fall a step behind. It wasn’t a pack boundary, but it was similar. He sniffed the air, but there were no scents or signs of danger.

He caught movement in his periphery and turned in time to watch the lynx near the house, gather itself and leap gracefully onto the second-floor balcony before disappearing inside.

Cheater.

He aimed for the patio doors that had been left ajar instead, padded inside and flopped down to lie on the cool tile, calling for the change to overtake him.

For a moment, his wolf resisted.

Bailey. Bailey. Bailey.

Then he was Cameron. Two legs not four. Man, not wolf.

He rolled onto his back and wiped the sweat off his face. They’d run hard for the last hour, and the exertion, the stress of the trip and the lack of sleep were having a cumulative effect. Even the power he felt here was no match for it.

Finding the silence jarring, Cam got to his feet. Everyone was gone, and the large space seemed hollowed out without them. Aaron had left a note informing him that he and the others had spent the first half of the day working on the inn, and were now off to visit the Grand Canyon. They wouldn’t be back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. It was unusual for all of them to be gone at once. Together, no less, and without asking permission. Not that he required it, but they’d always asked before.

A family trip to get away from the parents.

Had they sensed how out of sorts he was from his last few calls? How on edge his trip had made him? Or did they worry it would get worse? He sure as hell did.

The old mating stories had left out a few important details. How rapidly the need to claim would progress, for one. It had only been a few days and his control was weakening by the hour. Hadn’t someone once told him it was connected to the moon? Well, that was bullshit. A month at least made sense to Cam. This didn’t.

Two or three days was barely enough time to get to know a potential mate, let alone decide whether she wanted to accept the mark and all that went with it.

His wolf needed only moments, but he was more than his wolf. More than instinct. And Bailey was completely human. He wasn’t sure if she was feeling anything beyond attraction, though there were moments he swore he could sense her agitation.
