Chapter Seven

Vee ’s brain had short-circuited. He knew it had. All he could think to do was crouch with his back against the rock wall, hold the knife in front of him, and pray. The wolves had chased him into this canyon and cornered him, and now they were just sitting there. What did they want? Why didn’t they attack?

He had to admit, he didn ’t want the wolves to attack, but he didn’t understand why they wouldn’t. Vee knew he was no match for them, and yet, still, they waited. For what?

A howl echoed through the evening air, sending a shiver down Vee’s spine. Oh, wait. Maybe it’s from the cold, damp stone at my back. Vee didn’t know anymore. Andy had told him he just needed to last the night and then they’d pick him up in the morning. But how could he last the night if the wolves wouldn’t leave long enough for him to build a fire?

One of the wolves lifted his nose and scented the air. They did that on occasion as if they were searching for something. Kyle, maybe? He was supposed to be hunting for Vee, right? After everything that had happened, Vee wasn’t certain he wanted Kyle to find him.

Damn, that sounds ungrateful.

His heart ached a little at the thought. His lover had seemed like such a wonderful man, sweet and attentive, and so fucking sexy. Was Kyle really one of these creatures? Did he really turn into a savage beast? Vee had to pray that he didn’t.

A yip, then a howl rent the air, followed by growling and snarling. All three of the wolves leaped to their feet, and fear sliced through Vee. This was it. They were going to tear him apart.

Instead of advancing on him, however, the three animals pivoted and raced around the lake toward the far side.

He searched the forest on the other side of the lake, but could see nothing but trees, rocks and water. Movement above the tree line caught his attention, and Vee gasped. Kyle dangled from a rope around twenty feet above the rocky forest floor. To his astonishment, his lover let go of the rope and plummeted down.

Vee was on his feet and moving toward them before he had time to think.

Kyle tucked and rolled, his body tumbling down the last five feet of accumulated rock chips and rubble.

Vee stumbled to a stop when he saw the man’s clothing tear, but no wolves were near. Instead, the cloth tore apart from the inside. As the first wolf launched toward Kyle, a massive tawny animal leaped from the shredded clothing and met him in midair.

Letting out a whimper, Vee stumbled back. It was true. It was all true. His mate was a shape shifter. An animal. He wrapped his arms around himself and shuddered, and tears filled his eyes. What was he going to do?

The crack of a gunshot had Vee’s head jerking up. He watched in shock as one of the wolves dropped.
