Karl still had no idea what his plan was when he arrived at Allison’s house to find a police cruiser parked outside. He frowned, driving past once before doubling back and pulling in beside it.

I have to deal with her. There’s a time pressure on me now, and whatever I decide to do, I need to make up my mind. It won’t be long before Damian and his friends figure out that I’m one of the ‘monsters’ they’re hunting.

Either I kill her like I’ve been hired to, or I find another option, quickly.

He knew what the ‘right’ course of action was. The Guardian Bears did what they were paid to do, that was the core rule. And it was necessary, a werewolf would only get more out of control and dangerous as time went on. But that contract had been signed before he knew it was his own mate he’d be hunting.

Before he could put any thought into what his decision might be he heard a shot from the house. He was moving before he realized it, leaping out of the SUV and running towards the front door. Another shot echoed as he tore open the door, and he smashed through to the bedroom with blinding speed.

The window shattered as he entered, a gray shape streaking through it. Standing in the middle of the room, pistol pointed at the broken window, was a sheriff’s deputy. His left arm was bleeding from a bite wound but he held the gun steady in his right. Karl only had a split second to decide what to do.

In the face of someone threatening his mate, there was no choice at all. He leaped at the man, slamming into him with all his strength and sending him flying as the pistol cracked again. A line of burning pain tore through his arm as the bullet entered, but Karl put that out of his mind. It wasn’t the first time he’d been shot, and his long experience and training let him file the wound as something to be dealt with later.

He just hoped he’d put it off track and it hadn’t hit Allison too.

The deputy sprawled on the floor beside the bed, but he had training too, and he was bringing the gun back around to point up at Karl. Reacting on carefully trained instinct, Karl kicked, catching the man’s wrist and sending the pistol flying from his grip. But the man was surprisingly fast, and managed a kick of his own. It caught the leg Karl balanced on, knocking it out from under him.

He twisted as he fell, and controlled the impact, but it still drove the breath from him. His opponent scrambled towards his dropped gun, and it was all Karl could do to grab his leg and haul him backward. His arm muscles burned, the gunshot wound sending a sharp stab of pain through him as he demanded too much of his injured arm, but he managed to haul the man back and away from the weapon.
