CHAPTER 10

Gabi wasn’t sure what had gotten into Storm as she watched him striding away from her, long legs carrying him at speed towards his brother. The man looked around as Storm approached, said something and nodded, jerking his stubbled chin towards something. Storm went that way, but Rath lingered, throwing a glance in the opposite direction.

She looked there and spotted Ivy through the thick mass of trees that stole most of the swath of green from view.

Damn, she wanted to speak with Ivy again, needed to speak with someone about Storm and everything that was running through her mind, and through her heart.

She moved to the door, stood on the threshold and stared at her bare feet. She looked between them and the deck, back and forth so long she was sure her coffee had gotten cold by the time she made her decision.

She poured her coffee away and grabbed a fresh mug, and went back to the door, sucked down a breath and glanced around at the forest, and the clearing where both Rath and Storm had disappeared from view now. No one but Ivy was around, and maybe if Ivy saw her on the deck, she would come and speak with her.

Gabi stepped out onto the deck, wasn’t sure what she expected to feel as she tasted freedom for the first time in a week, but it was a profound sense of relief that hit her. She breathed deep, tasting the morning air, letting it fill her lungs. It was fresh, a little chilly, but it was sweet and she savoured it.

The deck was small, barely two metres deep, but it extended across the full length of the façade of the wooden cabin. She clutched her mug and ventured to the right, towards the clearing, and peered around the side of the cabin. The deck continued back to the rear of it, where the woods were thicker and began to rise up the mountain.

They were dark, ominous in a way, and she turned away from them, stepping back into the lighter area of the deck.

Ivy had come here to photograph bears, and it seemed ridiculous of her to be afraid of them more than she was afraid of the people who could transform into cougars, an animal far more dangerous than a black bear. But with Storm gone, she found herself afraid of her own shadow.

Foolish girl.

She glanced around the woods and the clearing, keeping still so she could hear if anyone was moving through them.

Maybe she was afraid of both the bears and the cougar shifters.

But did she really need to fear the latter?

From the things her brother had told her about shapeshifters, and the way Storm behaved, she knew that she was safe on the deck. Shifters were highly territorial. She doubted any of the ones who lived in the area would dare to cross into Storm’s territory and risk his wrath.

Besides, if any of them looked as if they wanted to eat her, she could lock herself in the cabin.
