Emily cocked her head to one side and listened intently as the wind howled against the cabin. Kade had been gone for hours. She’d expected him to shift, run around for thirty minutes or so, then come back. She should have clarified the time frame before offering to take care of Tucker. Although she loved playing with the baby, she hadn’t intended to stay so late. Driving down the mountain after dark was an exercise in terror she’d been hoping to avoid.

After feeding the baby, she’d rocked him to sleep. A log cracked in the fireplace, spitting sparks against the fire screen. She jumped up and grabbed the poker. As she pushed the log back onto the pile, a scratching sound came from the front door.

She gripped the poker in her right hand. Kade wouldn’t scratch at the door. He’d knock. So if it wasn’t Kade, who was it?

She pushed back the curtain closest to the door. Yellow light illuminated the porch. A strange snow-covered lump lay on the stairs.

As she squinted, the lump moved. A blood-covered arm slid to one side. Clouds parted. Moonlight illuminated the scene to reveal a man’s face.

Kade!

She pulled open the door and ran to where he lay. After tossing the poker aside, she rolled him onto his back.

“Kade! Can you hear me?”

When he didn’t stir, she checked his pulse. It was weak and barely discernable. His icy skin seemed almost devoid of life. Terror gripped her heart. She followed the flow of blood up to find five puncture wounds. Claw marks raked his chest.

She rolled him onto his back and hooked her hands under his armpits. She tried pulling him into the house, but he was too heavy. Her bear paced frantically. When the beast offered to lend her its strength, she took the risk. If she shifted fully, she could end up hurting him worse, so she’d have to be careful.

The second she allowed the beginning of a shift, her bear fought to escape. She forced her bear to stay in while she pulled Kade into the house. She lay him in front of the fireplace.

After running back to close and lock the door, she ran into the bathroom. She yanked open the medicine cabinet and rifled through the contents.

“Where does he keep his first aid kit? Does he even have one?”

She pulled out the drawers under the sink.

“Bingo!”

A bright red first aid kit sat alone in the bottom drawer. She pulled it out and carried it back to Kade. She knelt beside him and unpacked the kit. After locating the disinfectant, she poured a healthy amount over a wash cloth. When she pressed the saturated cloth into the wound, he moaned and tried to swat her hand away. He was too weak to resist.

She slathered antibiotic ointment into the wounds before wrapping the area with gauze. She used medical tape to secure the bandage.

The scratches on his chest weren’t very deep, so she washed the area with warm, soapy water before applying a thin layer of antibiotic cream.
