Chapter Ten

Luke shifted into his wolf and ran ahead of me as I climbed on Rascal and followed. The horse seemed to sense danger and tore over the wooded trail, nearly unseating me. We followed the sound of Victor’s howl. A few other members of the pack raised their voices in a wailing chorus that made my blood run cold. I could now pick out each wolf just by the sound of him. Luke’s kiss had done that to me; I was sure of it. I shuddered at the thought of what else we might share if he did mark me the way I craved.

Marcus and Charlie sounded the most agitated. I could hear their short yips beneath the longer notes let out by Victor, Peter, and Roy. Jody growled and kept himself a little further away from the pack. Then there was Luke. He hadn’t raised his voice to the packs yet, but I felt his wolf’s heart, rapid and strong as if it were beating inside my own chest.

The pack stood high on a ridge overlooking the lake. They’d be concealed by a line of pine trees to anyone looking up from the farm. But, I knew Harold would hear them too. I only hoped my father couldn’t. The last thing we needed was him showing up with that shotgun.

Rascal skidded to a stop and I slid off his back. Luke bounded up the hill on powerful legs, his ears perked high. My pulse hammering, I ran after him. The sun had started to set, but the humidity rose. My shirt clung to me, caked with sweat, and my hair curled in wild tendrils. When we reached the top of the hill, Luke raised his head and howled. The sound of it sent a current of heat through every nerve in my body. It had a similar effect on the rest of Luke’s pack. They each dropped their heads in a low bow, submitting to their leader.

Then, Luke shifted. The air itself seemed charged with the magic of it, covering me in gooseflesh. He stood tall with squared shoulders and muscles rippling over his strong back and hard-cut ass. He seemed carved in marble like Michelangelo's David. Every inch of him was chiseled perfection.

Victor, Peter, and Marcus shifted, rising to their full height. A blush heated my cheeks and I cast my eyes downward to avoid gawking at their nakedness. But, I was the last thing on any of their minds. Joe and Jody stayed in their wolves, pacing the perimeter as Luke spoke to the others.

“We left Charlie and Roy down at the cabin to look after Jarred,” Victor said.

His words sent fear shooting through me and I could barely feel my legs. Jarred. They were guarding Jarred. No one said anything about Lucia.

“Where is she?” Luke asked, his voice booming with rage.

“She and Jarred were playing by the lake. She took off when Charlie turned his head for a second to help Jarred with a crappie. They were fishing.
