Morgan drove back to his place, taking care not to hit too many bumps along the way. Dust plumed behind them obscuring the view of Nuria as they drove out of town.

Gina dozed fitfully, her head bobbing with the uneven terrain. A bandage covered the lump on her forehead, but he could still see the shadow from the newly forming bruise on her cheek and the glaring line around her neck.

His grip tightened on the wheel until his knuckles cracked. Impotent rage stormed his senses, leaving him battered and weary. How dare a rogue wolf come into his town, his territory and threaten all those under his protection. Only a rogue would be stupid enough to leave bodies lying around.

Morgan’s muscles spasmed, throwing him back against the seat with a smack. Pain sliced through his skull as the beast tried to claw its way out. The rogue was not only trying to bring danger to the town, but he was also challenging Morgan’s pack status.

No one would take over leadership of Nuria without a fight. Morgan took a deep breath and released it slowly. He repeated the action twice more until his precarious control slipped back into place.

Gina had been through enough already. She didn’t need him frightening her. She wasn’t prepared to face the truth. And he wasn’t sure she’d ever be.

He reached out and touched a wisp of her hair. The silken strands slid through his fingertips. It was silly, but Morgan needed to feel her to prove to himself that she was really okay. He inhaled her delicious scent into his lungs. Her fragrance calmed the beast’s bloodlust but did little to slake his desire.

Morgan pulled into the drive leading to his home. Gravel crunched under his tires. He glanced at Gina, but she was still asleep. He hated to wake her, but she’d be far more comfortable in his bed.

The thought of Gina twisting in his sheets naked brought his erotic dream crashing to the forefront. He’d never get the scent of her off his rest pad. Morgan nearly groaned as he parked and shut down the motor. He reached over to touch her but at the last second hesitated.

What would she think of his home? Would the modest size bother her? Would she hate the sparsely decorated space?

Suddenly the nerves in his stomach erupted. He shook his head at his own foolishness. It wasn’t like she’d be staying in Nuria, so he had no need for concern. Yet, the fluttering in his abdomen continued as he brushed the side of Gina’s neck with a fingertip.

She jerked awake. Her eyes were wild and unfocused as she took in the interior of the cab. “Get off me,” she cried, her fists flailing.

Morgan controlled her movements. He didn’t want her to hurt herself. “It’s okay, Gina. It’s me. Morgan,” he said softly. “I woke you up to let you know that we’re here.” He nodded in the direction of his house.

It took Red’s mind a second to register Morgan’s words.
