Chapter Five

Before Lana could react, Ty pulled her to her feet, pushed her behind the protection of his body, and released his inner wolf in a furiously rapid shift. His wolf ripped out of his body as he dropped to four feet, snarling into the hills.

She wanted to huff and jump to his side. Shift! Fight! Defend!

But instead of howling a battle cry, her inner wolf whined as she scuttled backward to the cabin door. This wasn’t about pride: it was about the baby. Her wolf part understood; she could lose the baby if she shifted forms. All she could do was shelter behind Ty as the approaching mass grew closer and louder. Something massive and uncompromising was crashing through the scrub. More than one something, and they were big.

Ty formed a wall in front of her, all canine power and rage. My territory! his snarl announced. My mate!

The ground drummed with heavy steps as three massive shadows shot out of the brush and skidded to a stop in front of the cabin. Black, crouched, and bristling, they stood in stark contrast to the blood-red sky. Hoofed feet pawed at the ground as a jumble of grunts rang out.

Lana’s mind spit out one word: javelina.

Javelina? her wolf countered. When’s the last time you saw wild pigs this big?

The three creatures snorting and grunting at the foot of the porch were huge—the size of well-fed heifers. A stripe of spiky fur razored down each spine, accenting their size and brute strength.

Ty bared his teeth right to the pink of his gums and glared so hard, his coal-black eyes seemed to spark with rage. The foremost boar snorted back, and the two of them faced off, swinging their heads left, then right, looking for an opening to attack. Ty’s growl was so low, she could feel the porch rumble with it.

One step closer and you die. His whole body said it.

Lana clamped her jaws tight before her wolf canines could come out. She balled her hands into tight fists, fingernails biting into her palms. She should be at his side, on four feet, defending her turf just like her man.

Ty snarled at the boars, looking twice his normal wolf size. Back away. Now.

The next moment stretched on for an eternity, tension hanging in the air like a thunderclap about to burst.

Ty belted out a single, uncompromising bark. An order. Now!

The three boars edged forward instead, and Ty roared so loud, it echoed off the surrounding slopes. Back off or die!

Even Lana shook from the force of it, and the three boars scuttled back. The two outer ones swung their heads toward the leader in the middle, who advanced, sniffed, then finally grunted and gave in. All three dipped their heads in a grudging sign of respect, and Lana nearly sagged against the wall in relief. Ty didn’t let up one bit, though; his rumbles reached deep into the shadows of the night, which seemed to rumble back. Alpha wolf, they warned; cross him if you dare.
