SOMETIME later, Quinn woke with a start. Her hand moved to the side of the bed where Caleb had been sleeping. The sheets were still warm, but he wasn’t there.

She glanced at the clock. It was early in the morning. Two o’clock. Sitting up, she cursed herself for drifting off. In the darkness, she listened intently, trying to figure out where he was. Had he gotten up to go to the bathroom? Or could he be in the kitchen looking for something to eat?

When she didn’t hear sounds from either of those places, she climbed out of bed and hurried down the hall. The light was on, and she saw him. He was naked, standing beside the front door. He stood very tall and straight. His muscles tense.

And she knew in that moment that he’d been doing the same thing to her that she had been doing to him. He’d made tender love to her with a purpose. He’d been trying to make her drop her guard—so he could slip out of the house and change to wolf form.

She had thought she had convinced him to stay here through the night. But he was going out—to hunt. And not for deer. He had been focused on revenge for too long. Now that he had the means, he was going to seek out the werewolf he thought was his enemy. Tonight.

If only she had one of those cell phone things! But she didn’t.

It flashed through her mind that she could run back to Logan’s and warn him. But even as the thought formed, she knew it would never work. She didn’t even know what directionto go—not from here. And once Caleb changed to wolf form, she had no chance of catching him.

Either he didn’t know she was there, or he didn’t think she could do anything to stop him. Decisively, he stepped out into the darkness and closed the door behind him.

No.

With no time to think, without any real plan, she charged down the hall and threw the door open.

In the light from the doorway, she saw Caleb standing a few yards from the house, his face turned away from her and his hands at his sides.

He was saying something. And the hairs on the back of her neck rose as she recognized the words.

She couldn’t understand them. But she knew what they were. Because she had heard Logan outside saying the same thing, and he had explained their purpose. It was the ancient chant the Marshall men used to change from man to wolf.

“Taranis, Epona, Cerridwen,” Caleb intoned, then repeatedthe same phrase and went on to another.

“Ga. Feart. Cleas. Duais. Aithriocht. Go gcumhdai is dtreorai na deithe thu.”

“No!” She charged toward him. “No. Don’t do it.”

He turned toward her, his face suffused with shock, but he didn’t stop the chant.

Pushing off from the porch, she threw herself at him. Maybe because he couldn’t believe she would attack him, she was able to knock him to the ground. With no thought for her own safety, she followed him down, wrapping her arms and legs around his body.
