Chapter Six

Marisol tried to control the anticipation humming through her. She didn’t want

Stephan’s brother to sense what she had planned. It wasn’t as if he could read her

thoughts, but Stephan had sensed her emotions in the vehicle earlier and she had no

doubt his brother, Thomas, was just as astute. Maybe more so.

She was smart enough to realize that Stephan was blinded by his lust enough that

he hadn’t wanted to push her by asking questions about her family. She’d overheard his

conversation earlier with Thomas and she knew her grace period was coming to an end.

After tonight he’d no doubt want answers, but it probably wouldn’t matter after what

she was about to do.

She quickly shoved her cocktail dress, stilettos, phone, gun and purse into her

backpack then tossed it out the bedroom window. Thomas had already canvassed the

yard once so she crossed her fingers that he wouldn’t see her bag lying in the bushes.

Once she’d shut and locked the window, she hurried downstairs. Luckily, she

found Thomas in the kitchen. “Hi.” She hovered by the doorway, unsure how he’d react

to her request.

He nodded politely at her as he pulled a beer from the refrigerator. “Hi. Would you

like a drink or something?”

She shook her head. “No, uh, I was wondering…would you mind if I went for a

quick run along the beach?” He frowned so she rushed on. “I ran with Stephan earlier

and he said it’s private, right?”

“My family owns most of the houses for miles in each direction.”

“I’m just a little worried about Stephan. He obviously couldn’t tell me what he was

doing tonight, so I thought it would be okay if I just stretched my legs and worked off

some of my tension.” Lord, she was rambling and couldn’t seem to stop herself. He was going

to say no. She could feel it in her bones.

“All right. Just don’t go far.”

Surprise bowled her over, but before he could change his mind, she hurried toward

the back door. “Thanks. And uh, would you mind not looking while I uh…” Most

wolves were unabashed in their nudity, but she didn’t relish the thought of Stephan’s

brother seeing her nude.

He frowned for a moment until understanding dawned on his face. “Oh right. Of

course. I’ll give you privacy.” He cleared his throat and strode from the room.

She rushed out the back door and changed as soon as she’d stripped. The pain

rushed over her as her bones cracked and realigned, but the adrenaline pumping

through her overrode most of her normal discomfort. She scanned the back of the house

just to make sure Thomas wasn’t watching through one of the windows—not that she’d

actually expected him to—before grabbing her backpack between her teeth and

bounding across the yard.

Her time was limited and she had to hurry or her friends wouldn’t wait for her.

Thomas cursed as he glanced at his watch. Marisol had been gone long enough that

he knew she wasn’t coming back. Something had been off about her, but he’d pushed

his instinct aside because she was his brother’s mate.

He wasn’t sure what she was up to, but if she planned to hurt his brother, he’d take

care of her himself.
