***

Alerac froze when he heard the howl. It died away almost immediately, but the sound seemed to echo in his mind.

He turned to the right. Stared into the night.

Jane.

He’d thought to let her go. But—

He took off at a run, and when he jumped over a fallen tree, his body shifted into the form of a beast.

***

She’d knocked one wolf back, snapping the limb in two when she swung it into the beast’s head. The other wolf struck out with his claws. Those claws sliced their way down her leg.

Screaming, she rushed to the other side of the stream. Where was some damn silver when she needed it? Her fumbling fingers grabbed a heavy rock. She threw it at the charging wolf.

It smashed right into his head.

The wolf hit the ground.

Three down, temporarily anyway.

That just left her and—Liam.

He was laughing. Laughing and walking across that stream. “I forgot,” he murmured as the laughter slowly faded. “You fed on Alerac recently. That would explain the rush of strength.”

He was about to feel her rush of strength. Where the hell was another heavy stone?

Right…there.

She leapt forward and tried to grab it.

But Liam grabbed her first.

He caught her wrist in tight grip. “Your brother broke my arm.” He shook his head. “Consider this payback.” He snapped her wrist.

Pain surged through her. She shoved against him, but he wasn’t letting go. Not this time.

“Alerac got to you first. He found you first in Ireland. Got you to spread your legs and offer your neck. He took the power that should have been mine.”

His left hand fisted in her hair.

“Now I get to taste the blood with all the power. I get the bond that he wanted so very badly.”

She kneed him in the groin. Punched. Twisted. He didn’t let her go.

“I get your power, and then I’llget the pack. They’ll all follow me.”

Her feet kicked against his, and Liam stumbled. They crashed right back down, only this time, they landed in the stream. The water soaked them.

His claws rose. Scraped down her cheek. “It’s a good thing that your kind heals so easily.”

Wait, what—

His claws sliced over her throat. Blood pulsed from her. The water from the stream—such cold water—covered her.

His mouth lowered to her throat. He licked her, taking her blood. “First claws,” he whispered. “Then I get to bite.”

“Jane!”

Alerac’s roar broke the night. That fierce cry was the most beautiful sound that she’d ever heard. He was coming for her.

He’d realize what Liam was doing. She opened her mouth to scream for him.

But Liam sank his teeth into her throat. Pain engulfed her.

Then—then it started to thunder. No, not thunder.

Gunshots.

Liam’s mouth tore from her neck, and his body fell away from hers.

She crawled away from him. Her hand went to her throat as she tried to stop the blood from flowing.

“Hurry, Keira! Hurry!” Ryan’s desperate voice.

She looked to the left. He was there, at the edge of the woods, and he still had a gun in his hands.

Jane cast one fast glance at Liam.
