Chapter 9

Damon

In wolf form, Damon tracked the Sacco wolf’s scent. It had retreated back to its territory. Sonovabitch must have been spying on him.

His wolf prowled with agitation inside. We should tear the intruder to shreds.

Damon grunted, noting the appeal of that suggestion, but it was out of the question. He had to notify his alpha.

After sharing the development with Rafe and Grayson, Damon’s muscles were tense. He yearned to return to Sophie and ensure she was safe.

Almost an hour passed before he returned to his cabin. When he opened the door and found her sitting on the sofa, he exhaled.

Sophie held a mug of tea in her hands and wore a worried expression. “Everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine,” he assured her and sat beside her. The scent of her soothed him after that ordeal.

“What was it?”

“Nothing,” he lied. What else could he tell her? “Just an animal passing through.”

She didn’t appear convinced. “Why were you so worried? Aren’t you used to animals passing through?”

He ground his teeth and swallowed. “We don’t get along with those who live over on Sacco Mountain. I had to make sure it wasn’t anything more.”

Her questioning expression indicated she still didn’t buy it. “Why does it seem like you’re keeping something from me?”

Damon ran his hands through his hair. “I don’t know. Nerves? I’m sorry if I spooked you.”

She pursed her lips and then carried her mug into the kitchen. “I’m going to go to bed.”

When she entered the guest room and closed the door behind her, the message was clear—she wanted to be alone. Was is because she sensed him altering the truth?

He stared at the closed door and all the longing from earlier funneled within like a tornado. He wanted her, needed her.

Damon stepped over to her door. He raised his hand, ready to knock, but forced himself to lower it. She hadn’t left the door even slightly ajar—she’d closed it.

Still, it took at least two dozen heartbeats echoing in his ear before he summoned the strength to walk away.
