It wasn’t hard to find her. Raphael would know her scent anywhere, and she hadn’t even tried to hide her tracks. Good for his purposes, but stupid otherwise. Cat had enemies. While Jack was foremost among them, he wasn’t the only one. Hell, half the wolves in the pack would attack her just to drive her out of their territory.

It would have been both simpler and faster to travel in wolf form. But as a wolf he wouldn’t be able to bring a pack large enough to carry a warm set of clothes for Cat. And she’d need them. Even in animal form she was too thin-blooded for the cold. So he’d brought a backpack with her purse and the coat he’d given her. He also took the time to go to the store and pick her up a change of clothes. It took an extra half-hour, but he knew Cat would appreciate it. Without even really trying, he’d been able to pick up her thoughts. He knew that she’d spent a long, miserable night huddled in the back of a small cave. He could practically feel the ache in her bones from sleeping on unforgiving stone.

He waited until he was only a short distance from where she had spent the night before calling out to her with his thoughts.

Cat, are you awake?

Raphael? Is that you?

In the flesh. I’m about a hundred yards from you. I brought warm clothes with me. I figured you could change back and we’d walk down to the Wolf’s Run for breakfast. There are things we need to talk about.

Last night. Cat’s embarrassment colored her thoughts. He could actually feel her blushing.

“Don’t be embarrassed,” Raphael reassured her with both voice and mind.

He watched the rocks where he knew the entrance to the cave to be. Sure enough, she emerged, head hanging low, her entire posture announcing her misery.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Oh, no? I only screeched at Michael like a shrew, exploded half of your patio, and took off in cat form.” She gave him a look that was no less expressive on feline features. “Perfectly acceptable behavior. And in front of your son and his girlfriend.”

Raphael crossed the distance between them. He slid the backpack off his shoulders, letting it drop by her feet. Leaning against a boulder he pulled a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the pocket of his denim jacket. “Under the circumstances, you were the very picture of restraint.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously.” Raphael took a long draw of tobacco and exhaled it slowly. “Normally, I would’ve let you come down on your own. But Michael’s actions last night have some serious consequences that you can’t possibly be aware of. I wanted to warn you about them before – “

Raphael didn’t finish the sentence, and put on a tight shield so she couldn’t read his thoughts. He’d been going to say before Tatya and Lucas try to save Michael by tricking you into agreeing to something you shouldn’t. Not a politic train of thought.
