IAN GLANCED OVER AT HOLLY LONG ENOUGH TO make sure she was okay before looking at the road again. She was sitting calmly, hands folded in her lap, staring out her window. A lot had been thrown at her in a short period of time, but she was handling it like a pro.

Fury burned through his veins as he thought of her car. The slashed tires were bad enough, but the word on her back window… his fingers tightened reflexively on the steering wheel. He couldn’t even think it. That anyone could say something like that about sweet, pure Holly was incomprehensible to him.

And he was very much worried that whoever was after him or Kian, was after her, as well. Which made it likely that Kian wasn’t the target. He was. As far as he knew, Holly went to work and back home, not going anywhere else unless it was to shop. And from what he’d seen at the dance, students, parents, and coworkers all seemed to adore her. No, what was done to her car wasn’t about her. It was about him.

He’d hoped that by staying away from her this past week and only watching over her from a distance, this situation wouldn’t touch her. And he’d thought she was safe while she was at school. But clearly that hadn’t helped. Whoever was doing this had already taken note of his interest in her before Ian backed down. Which meant he put himself and his tiger through the agony of staying away from her for nothing.

And it really had been agony. Every moment he spent not with her, not speaking to her, was torture. His animal had begun pleading with him to give in, urging him to seek her out, confident they could protect her. And when Ian remained strong, the cat became listless and despondent inside him, something Ian couldn’t ever remember him being.

Finally breaking down last night when he was in the store and found the stuffed tiger, he quickly scribbled a note to go with it, needing her to know he hadn’t given up on winning her over. He snuck into her classroom early this morning and left them on her desk. Still yearning with every fiber of his being to actually touch her, he’d nevertheless felt a little better over letting her know he was still in this.

And now this. His efforts to stay away from her, to keep the attention off her, had been in vain.

He was still a little in shock that she hadn’t put up a fight about coming home to Rocky River with him. He’d been sure she’d resist, but it took very little to get her to agree. Either she was more shaken up about her car than she let on, or she’d missed him as much as he missed her. He was betting it was a little bit of both.

He hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but he heard her whispered words when she was packing her bag. Shifters had enhanced hearing, and being a cat, his was even better than most.
