Both of Sean’s palms throbbed as he waited for his next visitor. It had taken at least an hour to saw through his bindings, maybe more, but they had finally given way. The bitch of it all was he couldn’t rotate his shoulders or move his arms for fear of someone walking in on him, yet every muscle in his body itched to do exactly that.

The enduring pain and waiting around game reminded him of his teenage training years. At the time, he’d hated every second of it since he’d never intended to be a sentry or soldier for the clan. Building things and figuring out how stuff worked had always fascinated him, and from a young age, Sean had known he wanted to study engineering. Yet right now, he was glad for the training since it was keeping him disciplined.

It might also keep him alive.

He’d been waiting for what seemed like hours for someone else to check on him and give him the chance to shift and escape, but so far, no one had come. Each second that ticked by squeezed his heart. Was Lauren okay? Had she already been placed into Purity’s rehabilitation program? Would he ever see her again? And most importantly, would she want to see him again?

After all, she had every right to blame him for not thinking of her safety. Shifters were supposed to protect their prospective mates. Somehow, because of living in the human world for so many years now, he’d forgotten the most basic of rules in shifter life—to always remember that humans feared what was different, which meant each and every human could be your enemy.

Once he got out of this mess, he wouldn’t be forgetting that detail again. If Lauren would still have him, it was time to move back to DarkStalker’s lands in the mountains.

His cougar chirped at that. I miss the mountains.

Truth be told, so did he. He only hoped Lauren would be open to the idea. It would mean seeing her family less and adjusting to the shifter way of life.

Flexing his fingers behind his back, Sean focused back on his present situation. He could tell that his wounds on his palms had closed up and even healed a little. Thank fuck for fast shifter healing. Without it, his plan would probably fail.

The lock in the door clicked and he nearly jumped at the loudness of the sound after sitting so long in silence. This was it, his one and only chance at escape so he could find Lauren.

His inner cougar growled. We’re ready. Shift and let me take care of them.

Once the first human stepped inside the door, Sean swung his arms forward and let them become his front legs, his tail extended from his back, and his face shifted into a cougar’s muzzle as his teeth elongated into fangs.

The whole process took less than five seconds, which was just enough time for surprise to knock up the heart rates of the three humans at the door.
