Chapter Ten

Catalina

Catalina watched from the cave entrance as Shane lured the bear into the woods and out of sight. His panther was so beautiful, fierce and lithe and sleek. Apart from the stab of fear she’d felt when the bear had knocked him down, she wasn’t worried about him. He was obviously much faster and more agile than the grizzly, not to mention that he had human intelligence. He’d be back once he’d led the bear far into the woods and then ditched it.

Then a wave of ice-cold terror washed over her, making her hands shake and her guts clench. She suddenly knew Shane was in danger. She had to help him.

Catalina scrambled into her clothes and shoes, then grabbed the tranquilizer guns and ran out of the cave. Shane and the bear were nowhere to be seen, but she was certain that she knew which way to go to find him. Catalina bolted toward the woods.

Fear for Shane, the conviction that he was in trouble, and the hope that she could save him drove her as she ran down the hillside and toward the forest. Then, a few feet short of the woods, all those feelings evaporated like a drop of water on a hot pan.

She stumbled to a halt, confused. What had she been thinking? Why had she been so convinced that Shane was in danger? He’d had the situation completely under control the last time she’d seen him. She hadn’t heard any yells or had anything else happen to make her think something had gone wrong.

And even if something was wrong, why would she just bolt out without even taking supplies? If Shane was injured, he’d need bandages, maybe a splint, and certainly a fire to keep him warm and ward off shock. She could easily pack everything they had into the medical kit and take it with her.

“Weird,” Catalina muttered. Maybe love did strange things to you, like make you suddenly lose your mind when the man you loved turned into a panther and ran off into the woods.

She hesitated at the edge of the forest, wondering if she should go back to the cave to fetch supplies, or back to the cave and stay there. She was tempted to search. But he was almost certainly fine, and if she started wandering around the woods, she’d probably get lost. She might even run straight into the grizzly he’d gotten rid of. It didn’t seem like a good idea.

She started to turn to go back, but the skin on the back of her neck prickled an alert. Catalina spun around.

A man stepped out of the woods. It was the shifter who had gotten her scent at the base. The dim light bleached his pale skin to the color of frost, and his hair and eyes were black as midnight.

The tranquilizer guns were in her hands. Catalina fired at him as he rushed her, hitting him once— twice— three times in the chest before he closed with her and wrenched the guns from her hands.
