“C’mon man,” said Diego, “the chief told us to go.”

Whoever was shooting was long gone. Only the gun he used was left behind, and they couldn’t follow a scent from it. They showed up, shot at the compound and then scarpered.

Roberto had ordered them to leave, to go back to the compound, but Lorenzo’s beast was snarling, wanting to get out there and find them, beat them to a pulp.

A couple of months ago a hunter had come around, shooting at some young jaguars while shifted. The idiot thought they were wild jaguars. Sadly, Lorenzo didn’t get his claws into him last time. Maybe it was the same guy again. Maybe this time, the guy wouldn’t escape with so little punishment.

Lorenzo snarled. Hunters. He hated hunters – they were just monsters who caught and tortured defenseless animals for fun. Every scar on his body throbbed as the old pain, fear and fury re-emerged. It was never far from his thoughts or memories, but every time a hunter came around…

“Lorenzo,” entreated Diego. “Don’t you want to keep Sadie safe?”

His jaguar huffed. Of course, he did. But if a hunter was out there, he wanted to rip him to shreds.

“Lorenzo,” rumbled Roberto.

Shit. The prime was there and probably pissed that he wasn’t doing as told.

Roberto narrowed his eyes at Diego who gave an apologetic shrug and left. The prime looked at Lorenzo with hooded eyes. His jaguar bristled at the power his prime exuded.

“This may not be the work of hunters, Lorenzo,” he said in a low voice.

“Humph.”

“Now c’mon, your mother is worried about you.”

Lorenzo’s expression stiffened. He wanted to find the bastard who would dare come to their compound and…

“And you have a mate to consider,” continued Roberto.

“Sadie,” he murmured, remembering the worry on her face before he left, remembering the heat from her body when he touched her, and the sweetness of her scent.

“C’mon boy, take it easy,” soothed Roberto, and Lorenzo allowed the tendrils of powers to ease his angry beast. “Calm yourself.”

Lorenzo allowed himself to be led back to the compound.

Sadie obsessively flicked through the TV channels. She flicked past comedies, movies, reality shows, infomercials and a documentary on stag beetles. She couldn’t settle. How could she? Lorenzo could be out there getting shot to death at that very moment!

The hell was he thinking just running away like that?!

She heard a noise at the front door and dropped the remote, clattering through the house to find… Diego walking through the door.

“Oh, it’s just you.” She deflated and glared at him – blaming him for not being Lorenzo.

Diego smiled knowingly, and she folded her arms, scowling at him.

“Where’s Lorenzo?”

“He’s… on his way.” Diego winced slightly, and her worry levels rose from very concerned to freaking scared.

“He wasn’t hurt, was he?” she demanded breathlessly.

He looked slightly evasive, and she had a serious urge to grab him by his shirt and shake some sense into him. It was like she was stuck in a mystery movie where all the characters evasively lied about everything rather than admit the truth and tell the detective what they knew.
