Chapter Five

The blood lining my muzzle was still warm, bitter only because of having to stop like I had. I thought I had gotten the boy's throat. I thought that I had made enough of a mess of it that his screams wouldn’t carry back to those others … but I had been wrong. Wrong, and too hasty.

Now I paid for it with the way that I ran, the bastard Cajun hot on my heels and his growls and howls spurring me to run even faster. We weren’t in the city anymore. It wasn’t like I could cross back over old trails and confuse him. He was too damned close. So I ran. Our paws were cascading thunder through the woods, that ground beneath us becoming softer the farther we ran, and I knew I was leading him right to where I didn’t want him.

I knew that I had messed up, but the rage was overpowering, coursing through me like volcanic lava and removing all sense and attempted reasoning in its aftermath.

For, in trying to kill the boy, I had ruined the plan that I had laid, ruined my chance at getting Ryder behind bars … but I hadn’t ruined everything.

He gave chase, and he gave chase alone, which meant that I still had the opportunity on my own to remove him entirely from the picture.

I could fight him. I knew that I could win. I was in the right, and my righteous anger put me leagues above his Cajun trash self. But there was still always the chance. The chance that we would fight and he would somehow get the upper hand. The chance that amid our fighting, the rest of his pack would show, and again I would be left with no choice but to flee my last sanctuary or die.

It was the one chance that I couldn’t allow, only several yards in front of him as that cabin came into view. It was a desperate, harried energy that sent me running somehow even faster, spurred my steps until I could throw myself bodily onto the front porch and roll. Fur gave way to flesh, and claws to fingers as I grabbed at the gun I had left sitting atop the pile of my clothes next to the old, wooden rocker by the steps.

With a frenzied growl I spun, aiming the gun at Ryder as he too came to a halt, moving just beyond that well that sat in the front yard as the sound of the gun rang out.

The bullet glanced off of the stone, ricocheting off into the trees, and I watched with hate-filled eyes as wolf became man. Or rather, the trash that fucking masqueraded as a man.

“You gon waste all them bullets before you shoot me,” Ryder growled, his body dropped just low enough that I could barely see the glint of his eyes over that well.

“Then I’ll tear you to pieces the way I‘ve been wanting to,” I snarled back, my lips curling in disgust.
