Chapter 7

DAVINA

As soon as my feet hit the edge of the treeline, I force my shift forward, my wolf side tearing from the confines of my skin within seconds. Bones crack and re-fuse together, falling to the ground on four legs rather than two, leaving a pool of material in my path. I can hear the thundering footsteps behind me, my name being yelled by more than one of them as I weave in and out of the snow-covered pines.

My body has never had that sort of reaction to anyone, ever. Instant sweats, heat building between my thighs—I have been around alphas my whole life, but it has never been like this. Even though my mind is pushing me forward, my instincts are telling me to turn the fuck around, every single part of me at war with the other. It was easier to ignore when it was just the twins, the need thrumming under the surface but not quite breaking through.

The way they looked at me with heat in their eyes took me by surprise. They had always been off-limits being my brothers’ best friends, objects of silly teenage crushes on my end, but never anything beyond that. Just initials in silly little hearts. The way it felt when Kai’s skin touched mine, or how my breaths caught in my chest at Hunter’s undivided attention… That’s far from initials in silly hearts.

Trees and snow become a blur as I push my wolf harder, a sheen of sweat gathering at the base of my pelt. There has never been a space for me to truly stretch my legs like this, and if it wasn’t for the rumble of paws behind me, I would be enjoying the feeling.

Just in time, I storm up the steps of the cabin, shifting quickly to be able to open the door. Lucky for me, it was a swift exit, and I had forgotten to lock it earlier in the afternoon, so my bare ass isn't on display long before I slam the door. My chest heaves, not used to that much physical activity. The gym and I are not friends, my center of gravity way too off for those machines. Every time I have tried, the membership is used for a month max before dipping out, locked into contracts that are never used to their potential.

Voices boom from outside the cabin, my brothers as well as the three alphas among them, all hurling curses and testosterone back and forth. Not only can I hear the three alphas, but I can feel them. Their energy is addictive, willing me closer with each step away from them that I manage. Forcing my feet, I run into the nest and close the door, diving for the soft sheets and throws. Note to self: thank Reyne again, because this is heaven on my skin right now.

The arguing is muffled in here, enough for me to focus for a moment. None of them have keys, and I flicked the lock, so it’s safe in here, at least safe enough to take the biggest breath of my fucking life.
