Chapter Sixteen

Winter pulled the memory stick out of her pocket and sat at the table where she’d placed her laptop when she’d moved into the cabin. She trembled, not from exhaustion any longer but in anticipation. Doc had meant for her to find the storage device. He’d placed it somewhere that had no meaning for anyone else. While she waited for her laptop to boot up, she took off her shoes and stretched her spine.

She’d done what she could to lock the door—not that it would keep anyone out if they were determined enough. Even with the security Christian was providing, the logical thing would have been for her to get in her car and head for the nearest town. She’d check into a secure-looking motel and engage the deadbolts. Come morning, she’d contact Christian and ask him what else she should do to ensure her safety.

But Christian might remind her that she was no longer needed here. Ask her why she wasn’t returning to San Diego.

She couldn’t, because Wolf might not be anywhere except here.

Eyes partly closed, she cupped her hand over the symbol of what had anchored her childhood. Without the wolf of her dreams, she wouldn’t have had anything to hold onto. Wolf had disappeared when she became a teenager but fortunately had returned. The mask that had been Wolf’s conduit was her responsibility. She had to find a safe place for it until she decided what to do with it—and until she could give it up.

She tried to picture herself handing it over to Jay, only to surrender to thoughts that had nothing to do with an ancient artifact. Being around Jay was like standing over a flaming campfire. She’d get burned if she got too close, but the flashing reds mesmerized her. He made her hot, turned her reckless, challenged her to see what would happen if she stripped off her clothes before him.

Like you don’t know.

When the cursor started blinking, she fought her way back to the present. She pushed the memory device in and accessed the drive. A long list of files popped onto the screen. The one with her name caught her eye, and she opened it.

This isn’t the time for pleasantries, she read. As I see it, you’ll only be looking at this if I’m dead.

Her hand went to her throat. She glanced around, reluctantly lingering on the dark window beyond the small table. Still battling fear, she forced herself to start reading again.

My guess is you’re in shock. I would be, too, except I’m dead. For the record, I deleted all files from my laptop. Maybe you already know that. However, it’s possible that whoever did me in—sorry for the euphemism—got his hands on my computer. I’ve been using it in part because I want whoever is watching me to believe he knows where he’ll find everything.

How long had he been in fear for his life, and why? Determined to learn more, she went back to reading.

The joke’s on that bastard.
