Chapter 13

Viktor

There were three of them. Denall and his two closest lieutenants, Riall and Jonall. I put my wolf in between Denall and Mia. I gave her one quick snap of my jaw and prayed my meaning was clear.

Whatever you do, don’t shift.

Mia scrambled backward, covering her breasts with her hands. She was naked. Exposed. I’d been a fool.

“Down, dog,” Denall said. “Stand up and show yourself. Let’s have a civilized conversation.”

There was nothing civil in his tone. Denall sensed my magic had changed. I could feel it. But so had Mia’s.

She was right beside me. I still tasted her juices on my lips. My seed was still inside of her. And yet, I sensed no trace of the wolf I knew she was. Whatever magic she possessed, it was damn strong. Thank God.

It took every ounce of self-control I had to reign my wolf in. I rose on two legs and pulled Mia behind me.

I should have marked her. If I had, she’d be able to hear my thoughts. I would have told her to run. I could have commanded her.

“Sampling the merchandise already?” Denall asked. “That wasn’t our agreement.”

“I’ve honored our agreement,” I said. “You’re the one not honoring yours. You don’t get to show up unannounced, Denall.”

He snarled. “You forget yourself, Viktor. I don’t. I still remember the day I found you. Do you need a reminder?”

He didn’t wait. Instead, Denall hit me with a blast of light that sent me sprawling. Mia stumbled backward with me.

“Hold it together,” she whispered through gritted teeth. She was right. If Denall hit her with his light, he might be able to bring the wolf out of her and I wouldn’t be able to stop it.

“Oh, come on,” Denall said. “I’m just having a little fun. We’re old friends, aren’t we? Or have you completely lost your sense of humor? You were nothing when I found you, Viktor. A scrawny, starving dog living off scraps in the gutter. Have you forgotten how hungry you were? You know what they say about biting the hand that feeds you.”

“What do you want today, Denall?” I asked.

He smiled, showing a row of long teeth. “You sure it’s wise to talk in front of your bitch?”

He looked her up and down. “Bitch in heat, I should say.”

Rage thundered through me. Did he already know what she was? Could he sense it? No. I couldn’t even as her scent still coated me. I tasted blood in my mouth. Only Mia’s hard grip on my arm kept me in control.

“Come on, dog,” Denall said. “Let’s talk.”

I turned to Mia and mouthed two words. “Stay here.”

I made my way back up the beach, tearing myself away from Mia. Denall began to follow, we got to the other side of the hill, out of earshot. I turned, but Riall and Jonall hadn’t followed. They were still down there with her.

“Denall,” I started.

“Relax,” he said. “They won’t touch her. They’re doing you a favor. The pheromones that girl is giving off ought to draw every other shifter out of hiding.
