FIFTEEN

Neva wandered through the truck stop, wondering if she should take a chance on the busy diner that took up one side of the building, or if she should just grab some prepackaged snacks and get back on the road. The driver who’d given her a lift had been kind, but talkative. Way more than talkative. More like evangelistic. He’d called himself a “prepper” and advocated learning survival skills for the coming apocalypse. By the time they’d crossed two state lines, she knew more than she’d ever wanted to know about which bugs were edible, how to filter urine for water, and what everyday items could be turned into weapons.

In the end, she’d lied about her destination and bailed when he stopped for gas. Part of her—okay, a big part—wanted to wait around in hopes of Travis showing up. The more sensible side of her said that was a dumb idea and she ought to keep moving.

Her wolf had a whole different take on the subject. Neva could swear it was pacing inside her, more like a caged tiger than a wolf, and had been ever since she’d left Travis behind. It didn’t like being away from him one bit. She supposed he was the only werewolf that her alter ego had met so far—and since he’d been there when her inner wolf was, well, born, so to speak, maybe it had imprinted on him. She didn’t know.

Mate. Ours.

Neva stopped dead in the middle of reading a package of granola bars. No, she said to her wolf. We had sex. That doesn’t mean we’re automatically mates. She sensed confusion from her animal persona—and from herself as well. She’d never indulged in gratuitous sex before. It wasn’t really in her nature, so why was she trying to pretend that’s all it was? Of course, a lot of things had happened in that forest bower that she hadn’t thought were in her nature. She’d felt incredibly wild and free, and yet deeply intimate. She’d chalked it up to being a new werewolf. Now she wondered: Had she really hitchhiked out of there to flee Meredith, or to run away from Travis? And to avoid what sex with him might mean for their relationship?

Oh no. She’d used the R word. Not out loud, but she’d thought it, dammit. She didn’t have a relationship with Travis, did she? Wasn’t she just a pain in his ass until he was satisfied she’d been properly introduced to the Changeling world? Hadn’t it been his plan all along to leave her after that? Plans could change, though. So could hearts. She’d told herself repeatedly that her feelings for Travis were perfectly normal, red-blooded attraction to a big, strong, good-looking man. Emphasis on normal.

Now, however…if it wasn’t love, it was suspiciously close to it. And Neva didn’t know if that was good or bad or both. Pairing up with a werewolf had certainly never been in her plans. Of course, neither had becoming a werewolf herself. So if
