When I'm finished, he storms off toward the shop, with me rushing after him. But when we get there, Drake is gone, but so is the evidence of any struggle. I know I knocked some shelves over when I slammed his body on the floor, but it all looks perfectly fine.

"I don't understand," I say, looking around.

"I don't either."

Connor stands in the middle of the room, looking a little lost. Not that I can blame him. All of this, the last week, it's been a whirlwind of unexplainable and unusual. It doesn't take a psychic to know what's going through his mind, the worry is written all over him, in every move he makes.

"Hey," I say softly, stepping up to him and placing my hand on his arm. His body tenses at the contact, but I don't pull away. It's the kind of tension that's running through my body as well. When he looks at me, the concern is now mixed with desire and I can't stop my own heart beating in awareness. I grow bold, running my fingers down the length of his arm, before wrapping my hand around his.

"We'll figure this out. Whatever this is. Mama should be done any minute now and then we can go to Evan."

"And what about you? Is the council going to protect you too?"

I smile, squeezing his hand, "Don't you know, I can protect myself?"

"I know you can. Doesn't mean that I want you to be fighting this battle." And I can see the truth in his eyes. He glances down at our joint hands, before raising them to waist level, and taking my other hand, pulling me to stand directly in front of him. Our ever growing attraction is blooming right before our eyes. He's worried about me on a whole new and different level, and I would be lying if I said I don't feel the same.

But my own desire is mixed with worry for him. He’s caught up in this, just as much as I am, if not more. Those traps are directed at his pack, his family. We're both in uncharted territory, on so many levels.

"I'll protect myself with whatever means necessary," I whisper, watching his thumb make small circles over my skin. His breath ruffles the hair against my forehead and then his own is leaning against it. We stand linked by our hands and our foreheads, holding on to this moment for as long as possible. My body is buzzing with energy and want, heating up the space around us.

"Harper,"

"And I'll protect you, just the same," I add, interrupting whatever he was going to say. He freezes at my words, and I wonder if I've said too much too soon. But then he's pulling me even closer, his left hand cupping my cheek and when my eyes meet his I am lost...lost in the pureness of the moment. In the emotions dancing between us. He leans down, and I think that the stars have aligned. But before his lips can actually touch mine, the door opens, springing us apart.
