Chapter 12

The following morning, Khan called Ged, who told him everything had been quiet at Sarange’s house since they had left. That information appeared to confirm Khan’s suspicions that Bora was watching Sarange. If she was the target, there was no need to attack her Beverly Hills home when she wasn’t there. The thought chilled him. Step out of the shadows and fight me.

When Sarange called her manager, she was greeted as though she had dropped off the face of the earth instead of having been out of touch for a day. Grimacing at Khan, she did her best to explain her absence without going into detail.

“I’m on my way to see Radin. Khan has decided to do the documentary on the blue wolves.” Since their faceless enemy wanted them in Mongolia, they had decided to call his bluff.

She ended the call sometime later. It was incredible how much her life had changed in such a short time. In the past, a call with her manager would have her making notes, firing questions, giving instructions. Now she wanted to hurry the conversation along so she could end the call and get back to what was important. The whole time the single thought I’m a werewolf persisted, pushing everything else to the back of her mind.

Almost everything. There was just the little matter of the vicious werewolves on her tail...and the man at her side. Both dominated her thoughts, but for very different reasons.

They had left Bek and Gerel’s house before it was light, not even pausing to grab a cup of coffee before setting off. Khan had decided to drive rather than fly, reasoning that, if Bora was watching them, it would be harder for him to track their whereabouts. Now, almost six hours later, having stopped for breakfast on the way, they were approaching Los Angeles.

“When Ged freed you from captivity, where exactly were you being held?” Sarange studied the noble lines of Khan’s profile as she asked the question.

“China.” She could feel the tension coming off him in waves. “In the Xinjiang region.”

Sarange knew of Xinjiang, China’s largest province. Situated in the northwest of the country, it was a vast region of deserts and mountains that bordered her own homeland, Mongolia.

“Is that where you are from?”

“I don’t know where I’m from.” Although Khan’s voice was devoid of emotion, she sensed how much it hurt him to talk of his past.

She was reluctant to push him further, but she knew the mystery of their shared past could hold the key to what was happening to them right now. Through her work with Animals Alive, she had learned about tigers in the wild. The ultimate symbol of an endangered species, the raw beauty of the tiger was captivating, its story tragic. She trawled through her memory for some understanding of the remaining habitat of the tiger. Khan, of course, was not really a tiger. He was a shifter. Just as with her and a wolf, there were similarities, but also differences between him and the wild animal.
