Chapter Five

Tom saw the sudden panicked look on Luke’s face. He flared his nostrils and took in four additional scents and understood why. He was still trying to get the hang of his acute senses, but it seemed that they were kicking in quickly under pressure. It was them—the four panthers who pretty much snuffed out his life, his old one anyway, and in just minutes, they’d outnumbered him and Luke.

“Fuck!” Luke growled. “My cell phone is with our clothes.” He stood and Tom followed suit. Luke then placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “Just stay behind me.”

“Like hell, I will.” Tom said sharply. He was like them now. Maybe not an alpha like Luke and Lorenzo, but he’d be damned if he didn’t go down fighting this time.

There was no time for Luke to argue with him. The four panthers arrived—three black and one tan. All four men quickly transformed into their human selves. Lorenzo was about to take a step forward, and when his gaze landed on Tom, he froze, shock clearly written on his face. He flared out his nostrils and sniffed the air, no doubt coming to the conclusion Luke had said he would earlier, that he was the sheriff’s mate. “What an interesting turn of events,” he said. “I hadn’t realized that we left you alive, but it’s a mistake we don’t intend to repeat.”

Luke practically roared beside him. “You’re right, Lorenzo, because you’ll be dead shortly.”

“Now, now, Sheriff,” Lorenzo taunted. “I had given you a gift after all, though it was unintentional. I gave you time with your mate.” He turned to Tom. “And you experienced what it felt like to be more than just a filthy human.”

“The only filth I see here is you,” Tom spat.

Luke placed a hand against Tom’s chest, as if sensing that he was about to charge the vile Lorenzo. He kept it there as he turned to address the other alpha. “What are you doing here, Lorenzo? The challenge was for tomorrow … in front of witnesses. I thought you’d be pleased.”

“Yes, I received your little message, but since we happened upon your scent and found you now, why wait? As much as it would please me to kill you in front of witnesses, it will be just as pleasing to deliver your head, as well as your new mate’s head, to your pack. I think that will prove just as much a victory.”

Luke smiled, a devilish gleam in his eye that had the effect of wiping at least some of the smugness off of Lorenzo’s face. “Is that how you defeated your other opponents then? Ambushed them because you’re too much of a pussy to attempt a fair fight?”

Tom could see that Luke’s words definitely hit below the belt. His words had Lorenzo fuming. The accusation appeared to have had some merit. This revelation wasn’t as shocking to Tom as was his own lack of fear at the moment. He had never felt such a desire to rip someone to shreds before, and it was as daunting as it felt exhilarating.
