CHAPTER ELEVEN

I waited until I knew my mom had gone to bed. Victor wasn’t staying over, thank God. When the house was quiet, and the darkness hung thick in the passage and around the windows, I tiptoed to the front door.

I wore all black, in the spirit of sneaking out, and I got out of the house without a hitch.

As soon as I was outside, I took a deep breath, relishing the fresh air. Chloe and I had snuck out of her house a couple of times, but this was the first time I had snuck out of mine. For a human, my mom had ears like a fox.

Maybe all mothers of teenagers had that. Chloe’s mom took sleeping pills, but mine didn’t.

Reece met me on the corner in his pickup truck, just as arranged. When I hopped in, his eyes glowed like emeralds and anticipation was in the air between us.

“Everything good?” He asked.

I nodded. Reece started the truck and pulled off into the night.

We headed back to the woods where I had visited the crime scene. We weren’t supposed to be there, but seeing that the place had been deserted before, I was sure that we would find the same scenario now. Reece just wanted to run around as a wolf to see if he could find something, a scent, a trail, anything that would help Chloe.

I hoped and prayed that we would find something. I didn’t want to accept what would happen if it turned out it really had been her. I wasn’t even willing to think about it.

When we arrived at our destination, Reece parked his truck in the parking lot at the Lazy Eye Diner. It was the one place it would draw the least amount of attention, although the parking lot was completely empty at this time of night.

“Let’s just hope no one sees that and decides to ask questions,” Reece said, hopping out of the truck.

“We’ll be okay,” I said. I didn’t know this for a fact; I was hoping.

Reece and I headed into the trees. He walked next to me, a bounce in his step, and he was alive with preternatural energy. Even though he was still in human form, I could feel the werewolf magic dancing on his skin, charged in the air around us. It rubbed against me like fur, a smell of something wild in my nostrils. He was raring to go. I glanced up at the moon. It wasn’t even close to being full.

What was it like for him when the moon was full and his wolf was forced out? Maybe one day I would ask him.

“How much farther?” Reece asked.

“It’s a short distance to walk, still,” I said.

“Then we should stop here,” Reece said. “It’s better if I have ground to cover, to notice the difference when I find something.”

I nodded. I wasn’t an expert on this. Reece had to tell me what he wanted to do. Tonight, he was calling the shots.

While I watched, Reece started stripping off his clothes.
