Chapter

Nine

Venus sped down the mountain in a daze—she couldn't get the image of Damian's frantic eyes out of her mind. The pain she’d seen in his face was enough to bring her to her knees. He was her mate. The man she was meant to live her life with. She was it for him and he was it for her. She never wanted to see him in that much pain again. But what had just happened had frightened her.

A tear slid down her face. He had shifted right in front of her into a giant white wolf, howling at the sky and disappearing into the forest. The rational parts of her knew that being with a man like that was bad news.

She shook her head and wiped the tears from her cheeks as she drove. She wasn't sure where to go or what to do. She had never met his benefactors personally, and her frantic mind was searching for something that made sense.

She got lost for at least half an hour in the backcountry roads before finding her way back to Selkie. With immense relief, she was able to find New Moon Books, where she knew Damian's brother worked with his mate.

She parked the truck outside the little shop and tried to regain her composure. She looked at herself in the mirror, seeing bloodshot eyes and smeared mascara. Damian shifting was one of the most terrifying experiences of her life, and she hated that the man with the sensitive eyes and the delicate touch had turned into such a monster right in front of her. She sat outside the shop for several long moments, not sure of what to do.

She was staring at the wheel of the truck, her mind blank, when she heard knuckles rap on the passenger side window. She looked up to see a man she instantly knew must be Damian's brother.

He had the same blonde hair and blue eyes, and the unmistakable look of a shifter. There was such concern in his face that it made her want to start crying all over again. She climbed out of the car and walked around to the sidewalk to meet him.

"You must be Venus," he said in a low voice.

"I am," she said, her words barely audible.

"Where's Damian? What's going on?"

She shook her head, unable to speak. A curvy blonde woman walked through the doors of the shop and took her hand. “Come inside and sit down. You look like you had a fright."

She followed the kind woman into the bookshop, and they all settled into the seating area at the back of the store.

"We were hiking," she said, trying to get her words to come out straight. "He dropped his potion and it broke."

"He was forced to shift in front of you?" Rex asked her.

"Yes," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Oh dear," Luna said, taking her hand and patting it. "That must have been quite a scare for you,"

"I wanted to help him.”

"There was nothing you could have done," Rex said in a low growl.
