Travis’ wolves waited downwind from the woods where he knew Cyrus took his people for full moons. It wouldn’t do to have a bunch of werewolves running around Manhattan. They’d all found their ways to cope. This actually wasn’t a bad location. Rural, hidden, and not easily accessible, Cyrus had done his best to protect his wolves.

Too bad he’d hurt Lilliana and destroyed whatever small regard Travis still had for him.

With a flick of his head, he padded forward on four feet with the fighting members of his pack behind him. They’d fight together, and when he was done, Cyrus would wish he’d never been born.

A growl sounded out in front of him and a line of Cyrus’ wolves surged forward. So this was how the battle would begin. He howled to the moon, already able to taste Cyrus’ blood in his mouth.

His pack leapt, and Cyrus’ did the same. Travis only had eyes for Cyrus. Where was the son of a bitch?

The largest wolf in the pack rushed forward, snarling. Cyrus, there you are. Travis leapt at him. This ended now.

A whimper in the distance caught his attention, and Cyrus darted out of the way. The wolf whimpered again. Why had that noise caught Travis’ attention when there was death to be had? He shook his head. Cyrus growled low in his throat. Not a threatening sound, more of a pay-attention noise. Travis howled to the moon, and his wolves stopped fighting. If he wasn’t going to surge, they shouldn’t either. A silence descended on the woods.

He sniffed the air. What had happened? Who had gotten his attention in the middle of a battle?

A small wolf rushed forward, banging her head against his side. Her eyes were lowered, and she whimpered, but he didn’t smell fear. No, he took a deep breath. He scented…Lilliana.

Gasping, he rubbed his head against her until she raised her eyes to look at him. Yes, those were her brown depths. In a wolf’s body? He whirled around. As Alpha, he could shift or not as he chose, even if not staying furry hurt like hell on a full moon.

He wanted to be able to talk to her. Shifting back, he let the magic within him transform his body from canine to human. He stretched his neck. Ever since an attack, the same one that had killed his parents, he’d had to move it right away after a shift or it tightened up.

Kneeling down, he looked at Lilliana. She stared the ground, unable or unwilling to make eye contact with him. No. This was not how his mate should behave. Lilliana had never been this submissive to him.

At first her ability to defy him had struck him as odd, but now he loved it. Who wanted a mate who wouldn’t look you in the eye? No, his woman told him what she thought and said it straight to his face.

“Lilliana.” He stroked her head. “Won’t you look at me, beautiful?” She raised her eyes and then dropped them.
