Chapter Six

Brooke walked me over to a house situated right at the back of the village. It bordered the woods behind and had a long, narrow garden which climbed up the hill and disappeared at the end into the trees surrounding it. Smaller than Brooke’s home but bigger than Louis’s, it looked welcoming.

When Brooke rapped on the door, I swallowed down the lump in my throat. I was scared shitless. I’d never experienced such a strong attraction to a man…a wolf shifter…before in my life. At the crazy reality of my life, hysterical giggles threatened, but I pushed them down, along with the still present lump.

The door swung open, and Jake scowled at us. “Yeah?”

“Brought Cait to see you.” Brooke nudged me forward with her shoulder.

“Why? It’s up to Dad and Drew what happens to her and her friends.” He didn’t look at me, the bastard.

Brooke sighed. “Don’t be a total dick, Jake. Talk to her. She’s been told most of it.”

“What?” His lips ran into thin lines, and his jaw tensed. “For the love of the gods, did you consider what this means?”

“Yes. She already guessed things weren’t normal here. And she’s seen your eyes change. Plus, you’re a mess.” She punctuated the last two words by poking him in his chest. “Talk to the woman you’re so rattled by that you ran away.”

His blue eyes finally settled on me, but his gaze didn’t soothe me. His eyes weren’t warm. They were full of disdain.

“Don’t blame her for talking either.” Brooke didn’t back down one jot. “She’d no choice, what with you showing her part of your wolf and then leaving her all confused and scared. And did you stop to think if you’re bonding with her, she’s doing the same with you?”

“I’ve not bonded with her. She’s not wolfen, and she’s not empathine.”

“Yeah, but your eyes changing tells a whole other story. I’m out of here.” She stomped down the path, twigs crunching under her boots, but she stopped and pivoted on her heel. “I didn’t have you pegged as a coward.”

Jake shook his head. “Don’t understand how my brother puts up with her. You better come in.”

Gee, don’t lay out the welcome mat or anything! I followed him inside, sourness churning in my gut.

I stood in his long hallway, not sure what to do as he headed toward a door at the end. He turned back and blew out an exasperated breath. “You coming or what?”

Utter. Dick. Half of me wanted to say no and walk out the door. The other half desperately wanted to know more, in particular about how he felt.

I trotted after him as he headed to the kitchen. Pale stone flooring set off warm kitchen units. A worn wooden table sat surrounded by chairs looking as if they’d been carved out of individual curved branches. They were all natural lines and gnarly knots. I loved them.

“You want a coffee?” he asked.

“Got anything stronger?”

“Whisky or beer. Afraid those are your choices.”

“I’ll take a shot of whisky, please.
