I take in the stiff line of Keane’s back. “Keane?”

He doesn’t look away from the cabin window, and he doesn’t respond.

Lifting my legs from the floor to the hard bed, I wrap my arms around them in a vain attempt to protect them from the chill in the room. I’d have thought the cabin would be warm, but maybe it’s the skimpy dress that’s making me feel cold in a way I rarely am. “Keane?”

His back tenses just enough that I know he’s purposely ignoring me. Why, I have no idea. “Keane, we have to talk about what we’re going to do,” I say, and then I remember my weird vision/dream… thing.

The gray wolf was Keane’s dad. I’m sure of it.

“And I had this dream, but I don’t think it was—”

He swings around so suddenly that I stop talking. Then I say, “What?”

“You and Liam Wolfe.” That’s all he says. But his jaw is so tense, and there’s a dangerous light in his eyes that makes me nervous. With the dried blood on the side of his head, he’s looking more than a little intimidating.

“What about me and Liam?” I ask.

His jaw tenses further. “Why did he give you a dress?”

Is he jealous?

“Uh, I don’t know. But it’s not important. I had this—”

“I’d say it was very important. I’d say it plays a large part in why he’s moved us to this cabin in the woods, and not back to the basement cage.”

As my anxiety creeps ever higher from the mounting fury that I’m reading in his eyes, I get to my feet. Since both of my strange powers seem to have abandoned me lately, standing feels like the only thing I can do.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

His gaze dips to take in my dress and his expression turns blank. “It means that he’s hoping we escape.”

I blink in surprise, mystified by his comment and his reaction to my dress. “And you think that why?”

He lifts his head and meets my eyes. “Because he believes the pack will rip you apart, and since you haven’t been able to shift, he believes the pack won’t accept you.”

My brow furrows. “Why would he want them to accept me?”

He stalks toward me, and I back up until my thighs hit the edge of the bed. “I’d think it would be obvious.”

I wait for more of an explanation, but when the only thing I get is an extended stare, I clear my throat. “You’re not making any sense.”

“That dream you had back in my cabin. Tell me about it.”

Completely unprepared for his order, I have no opportunity to stop the blush sweeping over my cheeks. I jerk my gaze away and stare at the wall. “It was just a dream. Anyway, that’s not important. We have to talk about—”

He steps into me, and I whip my gaze back to his. “I say it is. Tell me.”

I swallow hard. “I think I’d rather talk about something else.”

His eyes flash, and then his wolf is staring down at me.
