Chapter 8

Finn

Gravel kicked up to ping off the undercarriage of his truck. A dust cloud chased him all the way to Ty’s house.

His Itan sat on the porch with Sophia bouncing on his knee. Once the dusty cloud dissipated, Finn slid from the truck and trudged his way to Ty. He knew why his Itan had summoned him. He had given him forty-eight hours to figure out what Mack was. In that time all he figured out was she was his.

“I don’t have the answers you want.”

“You still don’t know if she’s a shifter?”

Finn nodded his head. “She’s a shifter.” He moved his tongue around his mouth. He could still taste her. “I know that for sure. What I don’t know is if she knows it. I’m convinced she doesn’t because if she did, she wouldn’t be tagging bears.” Finn reached up and rubbed his ear. It was healed but his pride ached. She’d bested him. His guard was down and she took advantage of the situation.

“She’s tagging bears already.” His voice rose an octave and took on a deadly tone. “I warned you.”

Mia rushed out of the house and grabbed Sophia. “You’re going to scare her with that tone.” She plopped the little girl on her hip and went back into the house.

Ty pushed himself to a standing position. He walked down the steps of the front porch. Finn followed.

“She tagged me.” It killed him to admit it, but better him than someone else in the clan.

“How the he…” He looked back toward the house. His voice lowered to a whisper. “How the hell did she get away with that?”

Finn could feel the embarrassment heat his cheeks. “It’s a long story, but I approached her as my bear.”

“You what?” He hollered so loud the trees shook.

Just kill me now. “I went to the lake on the other side of the bed and breakfast. I was checking up on her.”

“What part of that has you approaching her and her tagging you?”

Finn could tell that Ty was warring with himself between anger and humor.

“She was sitting on a rock, and before I knew it I was in front of her.” He closed his eyes and remembered how her fingers felt in his fur.

“You like her.” It was a statement of fact, not a question. The truth must have been written all over Finn’s face because seconds later Ty was howling with laughter.

“Stop.”

“I can’t. It’s too funny. You let a woman tag you.”

“Okay, laugh at my expense, but at least she’s not on clan land. I took her up into the national forest area and let her have at it.”

“She’s alone up there?”

“Ty, it’s not clan land. She’s a forest ranger. She has a right to do her job. I have an obligation to assist her.”

“It’s fine, just keep her off our land.”

“Will do, and I’d ask that you keep the clan out of the forest.”

A rustle came from the tree line and a half shifted wolf skidded to a stop in front of Ty.
