Chapter Sixteen

Max

Rena was frustrated. After trying to search for Max for the last hour, she found herself in a place she never wanted to be – lost and alone in the desert without her cell phone or a flashlight. An image of her on a reality show describing how she’d barely survived all night in the Mojave made her cringe. Not only would it be humiliating, but she’d never hear the end of it from her coworkers. She’d be a laughing stock of the entire LVMPD.

“Idiot,” she mumbled, chastising herself again for the twentieth time. She should have turned heel and ran back to her car after seeing that wolf-like creature. But not her, she was as stupid as the women in those “B” movies. The ones who were eventually caught and murdered savagely by deranged lunatics.

Max, when I see you again, I’m going to kick your ass, she thought angrily. Who in the hell went wandering in the desert in the middle of the night without clothing?

And now, she was far away from her vehicle and probably lost, when she could have been home enjoying a cold beer and the leftover chicken Lo Mein from the night before. Her mouth watered just thinking about the cool beer sliding down her throat. One thing was for certain; there was no way in hell she was going to survive drinking her own urine or forcing down any creepy crawlies. She’d rather die than try to swallow something that lived in the dirt or under a rock. The thought of feeling a bug fluttering in the back of her throat made her stomach roll.

“Dammit, Max,” she hollered, kicking a mound of sand with the tip of her shoe. “Where in the hell did you go?”

The truth was, she wasn’t even sure if what she’d seen was real or if it had been the result of too much coffee and lack of sleep. The thought of Max taking off all of his clothes, and then turning into some kind of werewolf had been her initial thought, but now that sounded so ludicrous, she was ashamed to call herself a member of law enforcement. She needed to quit worrying about her partner, and get her ass home before she ended up really lost.

She stopped walking and did a three-sixty, trying to figure out exactly where she was. Like an idiot, she’d started walking without paying much attention to where she was headed. Now there was only darkness, and a large expanse of desert that looked the same in every angle. As she tried to gauge where she was, several howls in the distance sent a chill down her spine.

Wolves?

As far as she knew, coyotes were the largest canine predators in the Mojave.

“You lost?”

Shocked, she whipped her head around and found herself staring at two young men moving towards her in the darkness.

She lowered the gun, her hand trembling. “Oh, my God, you scared the hell out of me!”

The dark-haired guy, who was stunningly attractive, stepped closer and smiled.
