Pike’s heartbeat was slow and steady against her ear as she stood enveloped by his arms in the weird underground lair. The words that were written in her father’s journal still spun around in her head, but she knew some of it wasn’t true. Her father had written that the wolves were heartless animals who deserved to die, but he was wrong.

Or at least he was wrong about Pike.

Pike was mentioned several times in the journal’s first few pages, which made Farrah believe that her father had specifically tried to target Pike, but never had any success. She shivered at the thought and backed away slightly. Her lips still burned from Pike’s passionate and tender kiss and gazed up to meet his eyes.

Without a word, Pike also backed away and sighed. “I feel very protective of you, Farrah. I don’t know why, but ever since the first time I saw you, something happened to me. I couldn’t kill you because killing you would have meant killing a part of myself.”

Farrah frowned but she understood what he meant because she felt exactly the same way about him. She had been in love once, or at least she had thought it was love at the time, but nothing compared to the feelings she had inside her for this man.

A wolf or not, she had lost her heart to him.

Her affection for him was sudden and illogical, but then again, there was nothing logical about the situation. Wolf shifters were real.

“I understand. I’m glad you didn’t,” she said with a small smile.

A hint of a smile formed on Pike’s lips but disappeared before it could become something more.

“What’s wrong, Pike?” she asked, sensing something was weighing on his mind. Something he wasn’t going to tell her.

“I have to let you go,” he answered simply.

“What does that mean?”

“It means that I have to let you go. I can’t keep you locked up at my house anymore. People are going to ask questions. Your friends are likely looking for you. I don’t want the police snooping around my house. I’ve created a safe place for my pack, and I don’t want anything to jeopardize it.”

“Is that the real reason? Or are you just making up some excuse for not wanting to be with me?” she asked. “Is it because of my dad? Is it because he tried to kill you several times?”

“No.”

“Or is it because you killed him that you can’t stand to be around me, because of that guilt stuck in your heart.”

“I did not kill him!” Pike growled.

“Then who did?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know. How convenient,” she muttered angrily.

“I’m so sorry, Farrah. You and I are from two different worlds, and I just want to keep you safe.”

“That’s bullshit and you know it,” she snapped as she grabbed the journal and stomped past Pike. She climbed up the narrow stone steps which led back to the surface and took a deep breath of fresh air. Her heart ached at the thought of not being with Pike, but her mind told her that it was the most rational thing to do.
