Chapter Nine

Cara dressed as soon as the sun rose in the morning. It had been a long night and Cara had tossed and turned for most of it. When she heard Jericho leave his room, she opened her door and met him in the hallway.

He turned towards her, noticing that she looked like she hadn’t slept. Jericho hardened himself against her. Obviously, he had made the right choice not to take her up on her offer of a second go around when she had trouble dealing with the first. Her feelings were hurt and he saw no reason to prolong her pain.

“Give me a couple of minutes to get my boots on. I’ll meet you at the truck.”

Cara nodded. Without a word and with her nose stuck in the air, she brushed passed him in the small hallway, put her coat on and went outside into the cool morning. The door clicked softly behind her with a click that said a thousand words.

Jericho gritted his teeth. He wanted to shake her silly. He was getting fed up with the injured, innocent act. She was damn lucky she hadn’t provoked the side of him that she was tempting or she would have trouble sitting for a couple of days. The sooner he got rid of Cara, the better.

Cara walked over to the truck to wait, wishing she had thought to ask for the keys because she was beginning to shiver in the early morning air. Her body still hadn’t acclimated to the change in environment. Out of the corner of her eye, Cara noticed a movement at the tree line surrounding the house. Curious, she turned, thinking it was her imagination, when she spotted a huge wolf running straight for her. Frightened, Cara turned to run, however the wolf was faster. Cara had the breath knocked from her when the wolf took a running jump at her and connected with her back.

The wolf lay on top of her as Cara heard loud explosions and glass shattering. When it moved to stand next to her, she rolled over on her back only to see the wolf running to the tree line, turning to growl back at her. Confused, Cara couldn’t understand what was going on and sat up.

When she then turned toward the cabin, trying to get her shaky legs underneath her, Jericho flung the door open. He had obviously heard the commotion outside. Before he could move from the doorway, the wood frame next to his head shattered into pieces as a bullet struck it, which was when it finally dawned on Cara’s dumbfounded mind that they were being shot at. She looked around to find the best cover she could and realized she was out in the open.

She scrambled to her feet and started to run towards Jericho, but when another shot burst out his front window, she realized she was only endangering him. Another growl let Cara know that the wolf had remained nearby, next to the trees. Instinct had her turning toward the animal as the shots now turned on her.
