THIRTEEN

The closer Wyatt got to home, the stronger the indescribable comfort of his pack became.

As a runner, he spent days if not weeks away. Having a strong balance between himself and his wolf was a requirement for the job, and his wolf was as easygoing as they came. Still, there were often moments in his time away that he felt control slipping.

The empty sensation was one thing, but on occasion, he felt lost in a spiritual sense. Dealing with his emotions about Nancy, the threat of Brent, and the overall doomed quality of their relationship had made it easy to push his lupine urges to the side.

Cool air rushed through the open windows of his truck, bringing the familiar scent of earth and pine to his nostrils. The only thing missing was Nancy, and that made his heartache. For a split-second, he’d imagined how wonderful it would be to drive her down this road and let the wind blow through her dark hair.

He’d been in love before. Heartbreak wasn’t new. Time had filled the tears in his heart in the past, but he suspected that this time around he wouldn’t recover easily.

Perhaps because she was human, and he’d assumed he would never look at her in any other way, he’d never tried for her love. What had blossomed between them had simply taken root like a seed that fell in the crack of a rock.

But first, he wanted to be alone in the comfort of his home. He wanted to shower and forget what had happened, though forgetting was a pipe dream. Distance wasn’t a cure any more than it was a bandage.

Most of the lupine in the pack had grown up together. Couples came together naturally. He’d tried that, but he never connected well enough for it to last, clearly. When he’d first decided he wanted to be a runner, part of him wanted to get out there to find a mate.

It wasn’t common, but it was acceptable to find someone in another pack. So he’d dreamed that he’d find an amazing female and bring her home.

Now he’d found her but bringing her around wasn’t an option. No part of him wanted anyone else, either. Even if he couldn’t have Nancy, he wasn’t looking for another. He didn’t pity himself, as this was certainly karma biting him in the ass, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t mourn his loss for a day.

It was too early for him to slap on a smile and pretend everything was okay. He still had to
