GALEN

Dom is mid-sentence when a sleek brown wolf darts past me.

What the…?

Angling my head, I stop listening to Dom as he continues to give me a rundown on the hunt he organized. It’s important, I know that. But my instincts are screaming at me that something else just became more so.

The wolf isn’t moving so fast that I can’t recognize the color of its fur or miss a sweet amber scent nearly masked by terror. “Sierra?”

It’s like I’m not speaking at all.

And then she’s gone.

I drop my cell and sprint after her. “Sierra!”

Footsteps follow—human and wolf—but right now the most important thing is finding out what the fuck just happened to have Sierra bathed in terror like that.

Just like in Dexter, I’m a few steps behind her as she shoves the door open. It breaks, though not like her cabin did, and then she’s scrambling inside as I follow, less than a foot away.

As I enter the cabin, the bathroom door slams shut.

I shove at it, but almost immediately it slams shut again.

Sierra is on the other side, forcing it closed. “Sierra! It’s Galen.”

Silence.

I push at the door again. It slams shut just as hard.

Wolf claws and rapid footsteps make me jerk my head around. Eden, still in her wolf shape bursts into the cabin, closely followed by Luka. From Luka’s undone pants, he abandoned his shift to charge after Eden and Sierra. So he knows what the fuck had her running. And he knows who is going to die because of it.

“What the fuck happened?” I demand.

Luka takes one look at the bathroom door and must work out who is behind it. “Nathan jumped through the trees. We all felt her terror, and so did he, but before he could shift back to apologize for startling her, she was gone.”

I stare at him as fury burns its way up my throat.

He wasn’t responsible for this. I know that. But that isn’t enough to stop my fingers from itching as my claws want to burst free.

Nathan isn’t important. Not while Sierra is still bleeding terror. She comes first.

But after…

I turn away. “Get out.”

A soft tread moves toward me. “I can—”

“Luka. It’s best that I’m not around anyone right now.” My voice is gentler than it usually is, but there’s nothing gentle inside me. “Leave. And if you see Nathan heading this way…” I don’t finish my sentence. Luka can figure it out.

After a moment, footsteps move away. “Come on, Eden. Let’s go.”

Another long moment later and the front door snicks closed, and then it’s just me and a terrified wolf on the other side of the bathroom door.

I lean my head against the cool wood. “Sierra, it’s me. Can I come in?”

Silence.

Only terror.

I grip the handle and push slowly. A quarter of an inch. That’s about as much as I get the door open before it slams shut again.

Fuck.

“Sierra, baby. It’s just me out here, no one else. You’re safe.”

Again, there’s no response. Not even a whimper. Just painful silence.

I don’t know how long I stand with my head pressed against the door but several minutes.
