Morgan

Rowan’s dad stood in front of me, staring like he expected me to grow a third-eye.

The urge to run through the woods stuck in my head. My hands trembled and then my knees buckled. “I either got to go for a run, or I need to sit. I’m feeling anxious and alert like everything is in high-definition; things I’m sensing on the inside, and stuff I’m looking at on the outside.”

“Her eyes are glowing.” Aunt Becka stepped closer but stayed behind Rowan’s father.

“Maybe it would do her good to take a run with Rowan. Our paths here are well-marked, and they’ll be able to see in the dark anyway. There won’t be any danger to them.” Mr. Marcus glanced at Aunt Becka. “Do you agree? It would divert some of the intensified energy coursing through her system.”

“I agree.” Aunt Becka eyed me, and then looked at Rowan. “Keep our girl safe, mister.”

Rowan grasped my hand, and we ran out of the house and into the woods. “I’ll lead since you’re not familiar with our paths, but you need to stay right behind me. Got it?”

“Got it.” The night air cooled my hot skin. Scents from the creatures and plants bombarded my senses as we rushed along the path, but the most potent scent, Rowan’s, embraced me like a giant hug, protecting and comforting me at the same time.

We ran for miles through the woods. I recognized the area when we got close to my aunt and uncle’s, and we followed the creek.

Then I ran into Rowan and bounced off him as if I’d run into a wall. “What the heck?”

His arms went out to his sides in a warning for me to stay back. “Shift, right now,” he said to someone in front of him.

I peeked around his body, under his arm. A cougar stalked toward us, all muscles and gaping mouth. I knew his scent, Oakly.

“The only reason to shift is if you’re in imminent danger. Is there something I should know? Is there a danger, because I haven’t picked up any vibes?”

Then I noticed the blood. Around Oakly’s mouth, across his chest, on his paws, he looked covered in it. I gasped. “That’s human blood.”

Oakly collapsed in front of us. We both ran to him.

“Don’t shift, brother. You’ll heal faster in cougar-mode.” Rowan and I examined him, finding deep cuts. “These are knife wounds, and there’s a lot of them.” Rowan turned toward me. “He’s lost a lot of blood. You need to get Dad and Becka. Have them bring a portable stretcher. We need to get him back to the house.” Rowan leaned closer. His lips touched mine in a gentle kiss.

My insides warmed, leaving me breathless when he backed away.

“Open your senses to get back to the house. You’ll be able to find your way. Also,” he grabbed my hand, “be wary of unfamiliar scents. Whoever did this to Oakly may still be somewhere in the woods.” Rowan turned his attention back to his brother, patting his head.
