Chapter Thirteen

No one else visits the park, and Matt must call his friends coming up the trail, because I hear the ringing of a phone, low, muffled words, and then feet thudding in the opposite direction.

But I stand there, a blond wolf, with my clothes lying a few dozen feet behind me.

Matt and Ted know what I am.

But that doesn't horrify me as much as my deeds.

Running back over to my clothes as if I can escape my thoughts, I will myself to retake human form. My body won't obey at first. Matt still exists. But then the popping and the dizziness returns, this time complete with a curtain of darkness. Two seconds later, I kneel on the grass, bare and next to my clothing. As if trying to shed Matthew, I dress, thanking luck I slipped out of my clothing without tearing it. Baggy jeans saved the day. I focus on that instead of what I wanted to do—no, what the instinct in me wanted to do.

I didn't have to shift to get rid of Matt. I could have just shoved him or even punched him in the face.

But I did.

"He deserved to wet himself," I say, standing and eyeing the trail. My hearing's dulled some since changing back, but I can still hear the two guys running back to the school.

My heart races. No matter how much I try to distract myself, I can't get rid of the horror.

Because I didn't just want to scare Matt.

He wanted to do something horrible but I would have done worse.

I'm supposed to be Noble, but is there some Savage in me, too? A Savage Wolf bit me right before I turned. I was only half wolf before. An unusual case. Maybe the Savage filled the other half. That might explain my fighting ability, too.

But if I ask Cayden, he'll know what I did.

He's already worried enough. And I showed regular people what I am. I acted like Cayden. Brash. Careless. I moved without thinking.

And now I'm in my little box all over again.

How could Cayden do this? We need each other right now.

Darting into the trees, now on two legs, I run and run.

Cayden's scent doesn't return. My phone buzzes with a text, probably from Noah, but I can't talk to him now. What if my instinct tells me to kill him, Ellie, or Sarah next?

Matt wanted to rape me, I think.

He was going to. He premeditated it and everything.

I defended myself and might have saved other girls from the same. Maybe I even defended Olivia, hurting Matt's pride.

But I wanted to kill—

Reaching the trail that leads to my street, I stop and debate heading back to school. Lunch will end in a few minutes. Maybe I'll see Cayden, and he'll know something's wrong. I can tell him and take the weight off. Maybe he'll know why my instinct took over. I didn't want to rip out Matt's throat with my teeth. The mysterious fighting instinct did that and didn't even let me choose to run away or fight in human form.
