Chapter 11

Luke

Her clothes are the first to come off.

They fall to the wet ground, circling her feet just as the first strands of fur begin to shoot out of her skin. The hair spreads up her body, her curvy form, her gorgeous face until a different being is staring back at me, eyes inky with pain.

The Adeline before me is the real one, naked in the actual form she was born. No long hair. No deceitful human skin. Just her. The werewolf.

"Adeline," I call her name just as she dashes into the night on all fours.

The theater is beside a forest and so it awards her a chance to shift in a flash and run into the trees. I glance around, noting we’re alone.

And that I have a choice.

With a groan I shift too, shedding my clothes the same way Addy did. My muscled frame changes into a bigger one, fur replacing my skin, eyes adjusting to the cloak of the night.

I can see everything now, sense all, hear all; the clicking of a woman's stilettos on the tarred road, the gray-haired man smoking in his car at the mall a block away, people's emotions as loud as the throbbing of a heart and the stench of their bodies clouding my nostrils.

But they don't matter. I want to think about Adeline. Only her.

In my wolf form, I try to find Addy in the chaos of emotions hitting me. Weaving through the feelings. Moving past the reactions.

Then I find her. She’s a bundle of pain, an overwhelmed mass of hurt. Adeline's agony is raw. Uncontrollable.

I connect with her mind. She's racing in the bushes close to the movie theater, heart thumping.

I follow suit, jumping into the thick cluster of wild plants and catching up with her. Adeline growls at me as soon as she sees me, a clear sign that I should go away.

Which I’m not going to do.

In our wolf forms, we can't communicate like humans. Instead, we speak with our minds. A telepathic channel that strengthens our ties as kindred beings.

"Adeline!"

"Go away!"

She stops at the foot of a tree but won't look at me. Her rage burns me. I can sense every inch of it.

"You need to listen to me. You can't tell your brothers about me."

"Don't I deserve to know the truth?"

"Yes, you deserve the truth but if your brothers find out about me, I'm dead. The others are going to die, too."

That's when she turns to look at me.

"What others?"

"There’s a new pack I joined. They’re called the Blood Born pack. These wolves are born from pain, the pain that your family caused them. My pack wasn't the only one destroyed by yours. There are several others and the Blood Born are a group of survivors who watched their loved ones die."

My answer only worsens her agony. I can feel Adeline struggling to silence the howl that threatens to come out of her.

"It can't be."

"It's the truth. I can take you to the pack right now and you can see for yourself.
