Nadine had the fire built, tucked just under the shelter of the half-ruined shed, when a wolf came out of the trees. She froze for only a second before she locked eyes with the animal and recognized it. She’d seen this wolf before. It was Devon.

He carried a dead rabbit in his jaws. He trotted toward her, his back leg just slightly off rhythm with the others, and dropped it at her feet. Then he sat down and looked at her.

Sitting, he was almost as tall as she was. His fur was soaked from the rain, though it didn’t seem to bother him. He had blood on his jaws, which didn’t bother him either.

“This is for me?” she asked, pointing at the rabbit.

Devon just looked at her.

She picked it up. She was hungry, and protein bars weren’t going to cut it. She really had taken one of those survival courses, so she pulled a knife from her pack and dressed the rabbit, skinning and gutting it in a few neat moves. Then she spitted it and stuck it on the fire.

“Impressed?” she asked the wolf.

He was still watching her. He looked at the fire once, briefly, and then away again, his nose twitching.

“Sure, you don’t like cooked meat,” she said cynically. “If I turn my back you’ll probably snatch it. Much luck I’ll have chasing you down.”

Devon huffed and stood. He turned and strolled back out of the shed and toward the trees, his tail down, his nose close to the ground, his haunches rolling. He really was a beautiful animal, if you liked big, deadly things. Kind of like the man.

He came back out a few minutes later in man form, shirtless, buttoning his jeans. He was as impervious to rain as the wolf had been, striding across the clearing to the shed, the water sluicing from his muscles like he was in some damn photo shoot. Nadine stared down at the dead rabbit on the fire to take her mind off it.

“He’s been here,” he said as he walked under the overhang of the shed and picked up his Henley, used it as a towel. “Recently. Made at least one fire, hunted and ate. And he went into the mine.”

Nadine put her elbows on her knees, drawing closer to the warmth of the fire. “Please tell me we don’t have to go down into an abandoned silver mine.”

“We don’t,” Devon answered her. “He isn’t there. It’s hard to believe there’s silver just lying around down there, but if he was fearless enough, he may have found some. You don’t need much for a bullet.”

“You can’t melt silver in a regular fire,” Nadine said.

He nodded, running a hand through his wet hair, then put on the Henley, which made her both happy and dismayed. “There was a workers’ hut with equipment in it,” he said. He closed his eyes, remembering. “My wolf couldn’t identify the equipment, but I think he was melting silver in there. I definitely smelled it.”

“You need a lot of heat to melt silver,” Nadine said.
