Everett

Everett watched as Sara turned slightly paler than usual. Fighting, death – this was a part of life for shifters. Normal rules did not apply. There was no sense in shielding Sara from it when she was already so involved.

You take a swing at a bear, you better not miss, Everett thought grimly, the sound of bone breaking fresh in his mind.

“What are we going to do now?” Sara asked, her voice a bit shaky.

“You can’t stay here,” Evan said. “Anything more than a tap and that door is off its hinges. Not to mention the windows,” he continued, assessing the room from a tactical viewpoint.

“She’s coming home with me,” Everett spoke up, the decision clear in his mind. “We’ll be safe at the cabin until her truck is fixed. I’ll have the advantage there if they dare try anything else,” he said sternly, planning to keep Sara well in his sights.

“Do I get a say in this?” Sara piped up from the bed.

Both brothers turned to look at her with brows raised, as if saying ‘you have a better idea?’

“Right, cabin it is,” Sara mumbled, finding her lap very interesting all of a sudden.

“Okay then, I’ll leave you to it. Call me if you need anything,” Evan said, pulling Everett into a quick embrace. “And I mean it. Anything. Both of you.”

“Want me to help you pack?” Everett asked after Evan had left.

“Don’t have a whole lot. I’ll be fine,” Sara answered, already emptying the drawers into her backpack.

Everett couldn’t help but notice she was avoiding looking at him.

“Are you okay? The whole thing with Keith must’ve shaken you up,” Everett said as Sara continued to dash around the room, collecting her personal effects.

“Yup, totally okay,” she muttered without looking up.

Everett stood in front of her, forcing Sara to a stop and look at him. He was no Romeo, but he could read a woman well enough to know something wasn’t quite right. Well, he could read this particular woman, at least.

“Hey, you don’t have to lie. Whatever it is, I can take it,” he said, gently grabbing hold of her shoulders.

Sara finally looked at him, her eyes glistening.

“You had to kill someone because of me,” she sniffed, her voice choking with emotion.

Everett sighed, shaking his head.

“It wasn’t because of you. The Clearponds are always looking for excuses to cause trouble. That wolf had a choice and he made the one he thought was right. Don’t take that away from him. He knew what the consequences might be. We live in a predatory world, that is the hard truth. There’s no time for blame and regret,” Everett said forcefully, hoping the words penetrated.

Sara was silent for a second before nodding and giving Everett a brief smile.

“Okay,” she said, straightening up and squaring her shoulders.

“That’s my girl.”

Everett smiled and helped Sara shove her toiletries into a bag. They stopped at the grocery store before heading to Everett’s cabin. Evan’s wife, Karen, had given Everett some cooking lessons, and he planned to wow Sara with his culinary skills.
