CHAPTER ELEVEN

Cam stayed rooted to the spot, even after he heard his front door close. The deep breaths he took did nothing to calm him down because Gareth’s scent still filled his kitchen, taunting him.

The mix of emotions flooding his body was dizzying in its intensity. Cam hadn’t allowed himself to feel in so long that he’d forgotten what a rush it was. He loved his pack with everything he had, but this was different, more personal, and Cam struggled to control it. He clung to the high, though, knowing full well, the pang of guilt was hot on its heels.

Sure enough, as the seconds ticked by and his heart rate returned to normal, Gareth’s effect on him settled to a manageable level. Cam dropped his head to his chest as the inevitable guilt crept in.

It wasn’t so much that he was starting to have feelings for someone other than Mia—Gareth had been right, he would always love her, no matter what happened, and she’d forever hold a special place in his heart. No, the part that cut him to the core was that even at this early stage, even with their bond just a possibility and not a fully-fledged connection, what he felt for Gareth was far stronger than anything he’d felt with Mia.

She’d been human, but they’d fit so well together. Cam had assumed what they’d shared had been as strong as any shifter bond, and the pain he’d felt after she died had only confirmed that belief.

But he’d been wrong.

So very wrong.

Loving Gareth wasn’t going to be the problem. It was knowing that if he let himself go down that path, despite all the obstacles they’d undoubtedly encounter, their connection would be stronger than anything he’d ever experienced.

And that thought terrified him.

Cam paced around his kitchen, restless.

His mind whirled with all the choices and decisions he had to make, and it all felt like too much to cope with. The full moon was still five days away, but the way Cam’s skin pulled tight over his bones, made it seem like five hours. He needed to run. Needed to shift into his wolf and let go of everything just for a few hours.

On the night of the full moon, the whole park was off limits to humans as the pack did their mandatory two-hour runs, but on the days in between, they could come and go as they pleased. Cam glanced out the window, smiling at the raindrops beginning to run down the glass. If that persisted, then the park should be empty enough for Cam to chance it. His wolf was larger than most; he’d rather not scare some poor unsuspecting park-goer if he could avoid it.

So many things required his attention, but as Cam stared out the window at the steadily increasing rain, all he could think about was being out in it.

Rachel joined him in the kitchen a few minutes later. He’d not moved an inch.

“I just spoke with my father.” Her choice of topic surprised him, and he turned to face her.
