As I stepped away from Bram, I popped my neck, letting my other side take over. I knew when my eyes changed, because Denise gasped and my fox sneered with approval.

Slowly, I stalked my prey, circling the blonde-witch-wannabe who dared to threaten my mate. I blinked at the sudden territorial instinct, but a warmth settled in my chest. Mate. Yes, he was my mate and I would let no one come between us.

I continued to circle Denise, my glare fixed on her. Her eyes were wide and wild as she backed away from me. It had been too long since I’d shifted, and my fox was itching to get out, but I waited. Because though I wanted to teach Denise a lesson, she looked like she was ready to tuck tail and run. I really didn’t want to get caught—and then fined—for shifting in public. And I wasn’t particularly looking forward to messing up my dress. It was new, and I liked the way Bram had looked at me all night. Like he couldn’t wait to take it off.

Denise tripped a little and looked back. A pile of garbage and line of waste containers kept her from going any further.

“Bram…”

The sound of Denise’s small voice had my lips pulling up into a smile, no doubt showing off two rows of very sharp teeth.

“Bram, do something,” she said again, and I snapped.

“You have no business talking to my mate,” I said, my voice deeper now, almost a growl. “Might be best if you run along now, Denise.”

Suddenly, Denise found her spine again. Her shoulders pulled back as her chin lifted into the air. “Don’t tell me what to do. I have powers. I’ll show you!”

When Denise reached into her purse, I crouched, prepared to pounce if she pulled a weapon. Instead, when her hand came back into sight, she held not a gun or a knife, but a leather pouch.

Though her expression was triumphant, her voice trembled. “S-stay back!” Denise pulled her arm back as if to throw the bag at me. “You’re right,” she said. “I’m not a real witch, but one did give me this hex bag and I will use it on you!”

“What kind?” Bram asked at the same time I said, “I don’t believe you.”

“I’m telling you the truth!” Denise shouted, her eyes ping-ponging between Bram and me. “It’s a death curse.” She pulled her arm back even further as though to throw it at me, but at the last minute, turned to Bram. “If I can’t have you, then—”

She didn’t get to finish the sentence. As she’d been mouthing off, I’d opened myself up to my other half. My dress drifted to the ground and I shot forward, my fox ready to take care of business. I might not have been a big predator, but I had speed, agility, and a cunning mind. I leaped onto Denise’s shoulders, grinning wildly when she began to scream. She reached back, slapping me while spinning in circles. I hung onto her hair until she stumbled back right where I wanted her.
