BRYSON

I didn’t give Mitch a chance to argue. I let the shift wash over me—bones snapping, limbs changing, fur sprouting. I entered the forest with anxiety pulsing along every nerve of my transformed body.

Caleb’s scent was closely interwoven with Leah’s, making it hard to keep my animal from destroying everything in his path. Even if Leah had somehow managed to escape the male, she was out there alone. She could be lost, hurt or…worse. I refused to consider the latter.

I pushed myself harder, digging my paws into the hardened ground, bounding between trees, ignoring paths and barreling through underbrush. Though I headed in the general direction I’d seen on Mitch’s GPS, I continued to follow Leah’s scent. Technology was useful, but what if something happened and she’d lost her phone? I wasn’t willing to take the chance and risk wasting time getting to her.

There were areas where dead leaves, dampened by recent rainfall, made it hard to retain her scent. I growled my frustration every time I had to stop, retrace my steps and sniff the ground until I caught another trace of Leah.

Eventually, Caleb’s irritating odor ventured off in a different direction from hers. The urge to chase after the male and tear him to shreds was strong, but the need to find my mate was stronger. Not long afterward, her trail led me to a downed tree braced at an angle against some boulders. It was obvious by the strength of her scent coating the area underneath that she’d spent some time hiding in the narrow space. How long or how recent was harder to determine.

At first I’d assumed she was headed to Gabe’s place, but the longer I searched for her, the more concerned I became that none of her tracks were headed in any specific direction. It didn’t take long for her scent to grow stronger or for me to increase my pace. A few minutes later, I entered a clearing and saw her on the ground, huddled against the trunk of a wide tree.

She’s alive. Relief swept through me. The unyielding tightness in my chest eased until I detected a faint scent of blood. Other than the hand she’d wrapped with fabric from her T-shirt, I didn’t see any obvious injuries. If she’d gotten lost, as I suspected, why hadn’t she tried to find some shelter rather than enduring the cold by being exposed?

“Crap.” Leah pursed her lips, her narrowed gaze focused on tearing open the cellophane wrapper of an energy bar with shivering fingers. In the short time I’d known her, I’d never heard her cuss. It wasn’t an appropriate time to be amused, but I couldn’t help it. The cute way she wrinkled her nose was adorable, and if my bear could have formed a grin, he would have.

It didn’t take long for her to realize I was there. I cringed when she slapped a hand over her mouth to stifle a scream. I’d been too concerned about finding her when I’d shifted
