He’d come to ask if she wanted to stay in Willow Bend. He’d wanted to hear her say the words, to taste the truth of them, and to know that being home was where she truly wanted to be. Not all wolves could handle going Lone Wolf, sometimes any pack was better than none. He’d heard others discuss similar statements in the past and never understood it until she pulled off her shirt.

The scars inflamed him. His wolf roared, and he’d wanted to kill every single wolf who’d ever touched her. More, his wolf’s heart grew with pride. Every savage, infuriating mark was a testament to her survival. The scars across her breasts didn’t compare to the damage on her back. To leave welted imprints like those, she’d had no real time to shift and heal.

And no healer to help ease the wounds.

He hated Sutter Butte. If he ever met their fucking alpha, he’d take his head off. What the hell kind of pack did he run? All the moisture fled his mouth when she’d stripped off the shorts. He hadn’t been wrong about the muscles. Every inch of her was a work of art. Taut. Compact. Delicious.

One of the scar’s extended over her buttocks. The only reason for a wound there was someone had gotten ahold of her tail. His wolf bucked inside of him. He wanted to wrap his arms around her, pull her close and tell her it would be all right. They’d find a way to get past the bullshit. She was home where he could protect her again—one moment she was on two legs, then four. He’d never seen anyone shift that fast outside of the alphas and even they took time.

Her wolf was exquisite with a coat the same soft sable brown as her hair, and she was whole. The scars on her human form weren’t in evidence on the wolf, though her tail was slightly crooked. He hadn’t intended to do more than run, but seeing her wolf filled him with the crushing reminder of how long it had been.

“Hey,” he extended his hand. He just wanted to touch her fur, to remind himself she was there and to reintroduce himself. “It’s been a long time, beauty. May I?”

She arched the line of her neck, strength and grace coupled in one perfect wolf. When she dipped her head to meet his palm, he luxuriated in the feel of her soft fur. Stroking her cheek, he let her scent mark him. He’d gladly wear her scent and to hell with what anyone else thought of it. Her ears flicked toward him, and he traced the soft, tender skin with great care. He just wanted to hug her, and he slipped an arm around her to do just that.

Without preamble, she jerked free and snapped at him. The aggression so unfamiliar and jarring, but his wolf recognized it, and he blew out a breath. He’d tried to collar her, and she’d been through hell.
