Chapter Four

It was strange, Maggie thought, to suddenly have people who cared about her. Aunt Tildy had cared, but in a no-nonsense, I-know-what’s-best-for-you sort of way. Case and Eli hadn’t wanted to leave her alone. She’d read their reluctance on their faces and in their body language. She’d felt it in that mind-melting kiss Case had given her before turning away. But they’d respected her wishes anyway and hadn’t even tried to argue her out of them.

She hoped Case didn’t think she was rejecting him or insulting his performance. If anything, it was the opposite. His performance had left absolutely nothing to be desired. She felt completely overwhelmed, which is why she’d needed a few minutes of privacy to pull herself together.

Washing as well as she could with a hand towel and a bucket of lukewarm water, Maggie pulled clean clothes out of her bag and quickly dressed. Then she went about setting the cabin to order. She’d have to come back up here as soon as her heat passed to lock the place up for the winter. She didn’t know where she’d be living then. Eli and Case hadn’t exactly asked her to move in. The idea of leaving her apartment and job behind didn’t bother her much, but not knowing for sure where she stood with the pack did. Having just jumped off a cliff into an unknown future, she felt like she was still falling in the dark.

What happened after you claimed a mate? She didn’t know. Shoving her misgivings aside, she focused on the things she could control. She gathered up the sheets and shoved them into an old laundry bag and then checked the fire in the fireplace and stove. Both fires were nearly burned out so she let them be. She used what was left of the water to clean the dishes from breakfast and pushed the scattered chairs back under the little kitchen table. She stared at the table for a moment and then looked helplessly around the cabin. It was the same as it’d always been. Her childhood home, quaint, quirky and a little bit shabby. No sign of what had happened here last night or this morning. Everything that’d changed was inside her.

She jumped at the thud of snow falling from a tree onto the roof, laughed, and then shook herself. She’d made her decision and the only way through all this was to trust in her wolf. Turning her back on the small cabin, she pulled on her coat and shoved her feet into her well-lined boots. She grabbed her bags and walked outside.

Just as promised, Case was standing outside the door. He was still in his human form, nude and pink-skinned from the cold.

All the blood drained from her face. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry! I didn’t even stop to think about the cold.”

Case took a step toward her. “The cold doesn’t bother me much. I’d have shifted if it was unbearable.”

He’d been waiting for her. An uncertain smile flickered across his face as he took her hand.
