Chapter Five

Even back in his human form, Gunner could smell the little prick’s scent. It burned his nose, coated the back of his throat, and made him want to cough. Gunner rubbed his ribs where Adrian had kicked him, wincing as he took another breath. One was cracked, maybe two.

Behind Adrian’s God-awful smell was Claire’s, the sharp scent of her fear almost covering her own rich scent. Not usually given over to grandiose sentiments, it tore Gunner’s heart to realize he’d failed her. He couldn’t protect her for even twenty-four hours.

He pulled on jeans and a shirt, thrust his feet into his boots, grabbed the keys for the Harley, then bolted out the door. Halfway down the path, their scents faded and he realized Adrian must have taken a different route to the cabin.

By the time he reached the clearing and his bike, he’d gotten the scent of them again, the wind blowing their scent to him from the south. And on the wind he caught the hot scent of a car, gas and oil heavy on the breeze. Now he knew where Adrian and his car were.

The bike came to life and he dropped it into gear, the rear tire spitting gravel as he tore up the driveway. He hit the pavement, twisted the throttle, and took off at top speed down the mountain.

Gunner knew this road like the back of his hand, and the bike screamed around the first corner. He’d learned to ride on these snaky roads, and he knew he could catch Adrian no matter what kind of high-powered car he was driving.

The bike screamed beneath him, giving sound to his fury. He hunched lower, taking another series of turns at speed. Then he caught a flash of red two or three turns ahead, hugging the guardrail. The sun glinted off the passenger side window before the car dipped into a patch of shade. For a brief moment, Gunner saw the outline of Claire’s head. She was alive, at least sitting upright in the passenger seat. Check off one fear, that Adrian had decided to take matters into his own hands and stuffed Claire into the trunk of the car.

But other fears rose in his mind. If Adrian saw him, would he try to hurt Claire somehow? Or would his already reckless driving escalate until he lost control and the car either crashed into the mountain or plummeted over the edge into the valley below?

Gunner let up on the throttle, dropping back. There was nowhere for Adrian to go other than down the mountain. If he took any of the side roads, he’d be forced to drop his speed, and that didn’t seem like something Adrian would do. Gunner had to be patient, not lose sight of the car, but not push Adrian too hard.

As he dropped back, his mind racing over every possibility, Reece’s voice came back. Malone’s words, leave Claire alone, leave Adrian alone...don’t dig up the past. Victor had his father killed...Victor was his father.
