Chapter Six

I spun around, my back pressing against the front door. A scruffy-looking guy struck Rafe, his fist connecting with his jaw. Rafe barely flinched. He was like a damn brick. When he retaliated against the guy, I realized who he was fighting—Marshall.

At least I thought it was Marshall.

He hadn’t shaved in a while, making it hard to distinguish any of his facial features, and his hair had grown. It was the longest I’d ever seen it and greasy. His clothes were filthy, and there was a crazed look in his eyes. He reminded me of a savage caveman.

“Get inside,” Rafe shouted, still grappling with Marshall. “Now!”

I heard him, but I couldn’t move. My gaze was focused on the coyote shifter. I’d caught a glimpse of his eyes. They were silver. My stomach knotted. I knew all too well what silver eyes represented—his coyote was close to the surface.

This was about to go from bad to worse.

My gaze snapped to the RV beside mine. I worried the family with the tantrum prone toddler would wake. Thankfully, the windows were still dark, but I knew that didn’t mean they would be for long. There was a real chance they’d wake soon to all the noise. If they did, what would they see when they looked outside—two men fighting or a bear and a coyote?

Crap. This wasn’t good.

“Penny, go!” Rafe shouted, drawing my attention back to them. He ducked another blow from Marshall, and his eyes snapped to me. “Get inside!”

Marshall lost his footing, and Rafe lunged forward, taking advantage of his slip up. Rafe swung, connecting with Marshall’s ribs. Something popped, and for a moment, I thought Marshall would go down from the pain, but he didn’t. Instead, the coyote shifter released a low, rumbling growl and then sprung at Rafe. His eyes were solid silver now. My heartbeat pulsed in my ears. I watched as the two stumbled back, falling to the gravel road. They rolled, battling for the top position while still managing to beat the crap out of each other.

A light switched on in the RV next door.

My eyes widened, and I held my breath, waiting for someone to step outside or peek through the closed blinds. Rafe and Marshall continued to roll around in the gravel, their grunts and growls too loud for my liking. Rafe slammed Marshall’s head against the gravel and held him there.

“Enough,” I heard him growl. For a moment, all grew silent, and Rafe held Marshall still.

Movement in the RV next door caught my eye. I could see someone’s shadow. If they looked out a window, I couldn’t tell, but seconds later, the light flicked off. I exhaled the breath I’d been holding and winced when Rafe and Marshall resumed their fight. Marshall shoved Rafe, and the two started pounding each other again while rolling in the gravel.

I needed to help Rafe—which meant I needed a weapon.

I unlocked Ruby’s door and then dashed inside. I scanned the tiny RV for anything I might use as a weapon.
