Chapter Ten: Darrell

Darrell had started running as soon as he’d received the call. He’d been waiting in the sheriff’s office. He’d wanted to give Carrie space, but was too uneasy to stay away, in case there’d be news.

He’d made the right call. The police station was only a few blocks from the cozy little bakery, and Darrell made it there in record time.

He knew Glory’s worth as a fighter. She could hold herself easily against a werewolf—even against three. Still, even though the fragile, growing mate bond told him that Carrie was unharmed, he ran faster than he’d ever run before—and he made it just in time to see Glory growl aggressively right into the face of a man helpless beneath the body of her bear.

Immediately, all of Darrell’s protective instincts kicked in.

The man was obviously used to fighting. He had the muscular body of a soldier, and the good sense to stay motionless, with Glory’s jaw all but closed around his throat.

He wasn’t a danger right now—not even if he shifted.

Why hasn’t he shifted?

Then something tugged on his heart—a distinct, almost physical sensation that he recognized instantly, even though it was still so new to him.

Carrie.

The pull made him raise his eyes, immediately meeting her own. She was safely inside, just as Eve had promised, watching the proceedings from behind the glass door that led out into the bakery’s garden.

She was waving at him frantically, and then, clearly against Eve’s advice, hastily opened the door again to stumble out onto the patio.

An instinctive little growl escaped Darrell when the werewolf twitched.

“Don’t! Wait!” Carrie gasped.

Her eyes were wide. She was very pale, and through the bond, Darrell could now feel the full force of her emotions hit him. She was distressed—he’d thought it was because of the werewolf, but there was something more.

“Don’t hurt him! I want to hear what he has to say!”

“Are you sure?” Darrell asked, giving the man on the ground a look of warning. “We know why he’s here. He’s been hunting you in the forest. He probably tried to kill you with the accident. He’s been following you out here to—”

Carrie shook her head. “No. He said—he said that he’s my father.”

She was trembling a little. Darrell saw her shake, even as the full impact of her words hit him.

“Are you sure?” he asked again, stepping to her side to wrap his arm around her. “It might be a trick.”

“He could have killed me,” she said, shrugging helplessly. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything. But I want—I want to hear what he’s got to say.”

Again Darrell growled, then gave Glory a sharp nod.

“Let him up,” he said.

With a disappointed grumble of her own, Glory took a step back, taking her large paw from the werewolf’s chest.

“He had a picture,” Carrie murmured. “I couldn’t see it clearly, but he was trying to show it to me...”

“Well?” Darrell snapped at the stranger. “Get up. Explain yourself. And don’t try any tricks. It’s two bears against one wolf.
