Chapter 6

After he left his clan, shifting was harder. It took a while to adjust to being without his pack. How lonely it felt the first few years. Now, he was used to it. Bella wasn’t at the age that she could shift…especially as a half-breed. If she could ever shift at all. He undressed in the pale moonlight filtering through the densely covered trees.

If he went longer than a month without shifting, it was painful. Dreadfully so. He took a deep breath as his body began to change. Gone were the colored contacts, the thoughts of Karla. It was only the moon and himself. As a wolf, he breathed in nature and hunted for game to keep his skills sharp. They would have to be sharper than ever to protect his family. Family. The word spun away from him as he finished his transformation. He was an animal again—his true self.

For hours, he ran, muscles moving alongside the quiet buzz of the forest. He came back to the house only after the sky was beginning to lighten, the first signs of a lavender pink as the sun threatened to show itself. As soon as he reached the back door, he shifted and grabbed the robe that he’d left near the backdoor. He slipped it on and headed to the kitchen. Ginger always prepared snacks, red slices of thinly roasted beef, for his excursions. He wolfed them down with a glass of water. A creak sounded across the room.

“Oh,” Karla said with flushed cheeks. She was in her nightgown, a knee-length dress that allowed him to see the hint of her curves beneath the fabric. He wiped at his face quickly with a napkin, aware suddenly of the dripping bits of blood around his mouth. “I didn’t realize anyone was up.”

He tried to remember how much he was covered in dirt and cleared his throat. “I came in for a snack,” he said with a shrug. She eyed his legs, covered in scratches and dirt, but said nothing. Her lips were pressed tightly together. Her eyes traveled to his chest, partially exposed due to his lazy tying of his robe. Her face grew red, and he immediately sensed the arousal pulsing beneath her skin. He concealed a smirk. Sometimes, it wasn’t fair to be a shifter and have a leg up on what was going on in a human body before the human in question even realized it.

“Well, I’m going back to bed,” he said with what he hoped was an innocent, casual smile. He couldn’t help that it was partially mischievous as he brushed past her and noted her excitement spike. The first thing he did was climb quickly into a hot shower, noting thankfully that his appearance hadn’t been that bad. Of course, she would have questions, but she didn’t need to know about their true nature. An excited thrill hit him as he wrapped a clean towel around himself, inhaling the rising spearmint soap off his skin.

She looked cute in her nightgown.
