Chapter Thirteen

Rachel stood under the hot water of the shower. Her head hurt and she was bruised all over. But what bothered her the most right now were her feelings over seeing Marcus. Her reaction to him had not been what she had expected.

It had taken them some time but they had reached her house, hastily packed a bag and before she could think, Marcus had loaded her into the car and the two of them had driven well into the night. He had just checked them into a roadside motel not twenty minutes ago and was now out picking up something to eat for dinner.

She had told them everything she knew, including the link between her kidnapper and the men who were responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Marcus and Elijah’s family. She hadn’t been able to meet Marcus’ eyes once during the entire time though and she couldn’t understand it. Shouldn’t she be happy he was back? Wasn’t this what she wanted? What she had been waiting for?

She switched off the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. It must have been the effect of everything that had happened in the past few days that she wasn’t thinking straight.

A knock at the bathroom door startled her. “Rachel?” Marcus asked.

“I’ll be right out,” she said, confused.

He didn’t say anything but she knew he felt it too. Her reaction was off. Wrong. In fact, she wasn’t sure she could even go along with the plan they had decided on.

Elijah had gone back home, not wanting to leave Kayla and the baby alone, afraid the creature would pick up their scent somehow and come after them. Rachel had agreed, not wanting to bring Kayla or Clarissa to her house. Knowing he knew where she lived, she couldn’t put them in any danger.

They had discussed the other danger, that of this Dr. Dennison and the men who had come to the house. This had to be dealt with. What they thought was behind them was not behind them at all. One of the men responsible for the murders of the wolf pack was still very much alive, even if they weren’t certain of the extent of his involvement. There was only one thing to do at the moment and that was to get out of town. Rachel fully believed it was her only choice. She just didn’t know how she was going to do it with Marcus. The brothers had determined their plan and neither had asked her opinion. That part made her angry. She knew they were thinking of her safety, but it still irked her that he could walk back into her life and just decide something as important as this for her.

But that wasn’t at the heart of the matter. She didn’t trust him not to leave again—that was the problem. And she couldn’t go through the heartbreak of losing him for a third time. She wouldn’t survive that.

She wiped the steam off the bathroom mirror and looked at her reflection.
