I followed Andon through the woods. He hadn’t shifted back to his human form and yet he expected me to keep up.

Finally, I couldn’t run anymore. “I’m not going to make very interesting prey if I’m already winded.”

He stopped moving and shifted back, his body reshaping through snaps and breaks into its human form. “Frankly, I’m shocked you showed up. Do you not have any sense? I was actually hoping to get to tear you apart in front of your friends.”

“Charming imagery. Thanks for it.” I shook my head. Jason could be a jerk, but his father gave new meaning to the word.

Andon whistled and his Wolves appeared around him. They had to have been right on our heels. I hadn’t noticed. Being in Andon’s presence made my Werewolf senses go off. Focusing on how many there were didn’t matter very much.

I looked at the group. Once, I’d wanted to join them. As Jason’s mate, I could have traveled with this group as one of them. Now, they were going to eat me. Oh the shifts life took.

“We’re not stopping here.” Andon shook his head. “Too close. Her people might be able to track us this far.”

“I don’t think Patrick will let them.” He hadn’t asked for my opinion, but I gave it anyway. Keeping my mouth shut had never been my strongest suit.

Jason’s sister Autumn shifted into her human form. She gave me a glance of cold appraisal before speaking to her father. “It’s not Patrick who concerns me. It’s her boyfriend. He just went nuts. Frankly, he almost got Luna’s head.”

Autumn’s twin, Luna, shifted back. She didn’t even bother to glance in my direction. Once, we’d all been friends. Without Jason, however, all bets were off. One of them might be the Wolf to destroy me.

“He didn’t almost get my head. I avoided him. He’s crazed right now. I doubt he could hit a nonmoving target and I ran away. I’d like to eat him.” Now she stared at me. “Up.”

“So we keep moving.” Andon nodded. “Rachel, climb on my back. I won’t have you slowing us down.”

My feet felt frozen to the ground. I didn’t want to climb on his back. Couldn’t he simply kill me here? Why make me remember all the things I wanted to forget? I used to ride on Jason’s back. Those were our good times.

They hadn’t lasted long, but they’d happened, and they’d been real.

“Rachel?’ Andon growled. “Are you going to make this difficult? Because I can give you pain before I let them kill you.”

I walked forward. “You do whatever you have to do.” He could threaten me if he wanted to. It seemed kind of pathetic. What kind of Alpha had to bother giving a human an ultimatum? “If you need to shift, do it. I’m not getting any younger.”

He shook his head. “You were much more polite when you were younger. At fifteen, I could actually see you with Jason. We took you on family trips.”

“You took me because Jason wouldn’t go without me.
