Max knew exactly which cabin the cat shifter was talking about. It was a newer-model luxury vacation home that sat alone on the upper slope of a mountain. In recent years, these types of homes were becoming more and more popular. This one in particular probably cost well into the millions, especially given its secluded location. Max would’ve never guessed it had been purchased with drug money.

The gravel road that led to the cabin was steep, winding tightly around the slopes, the forest thick and dark, blocking out most of the sunlight except in places where the road gave way to clearings that offered spectacular views of Yellowstone. It was a long drive, Carter stomping on the gas pedal, the truck jerking and hobbling over the noisy, dusty gravel. Max thought he could sense a familiar scent lingering in the air, but he wasn’t sure.

At last they arrived. Max sprang out the passenger side before the truck had even come to a complete stop. His shoulder and ribs ached, but he had no time to bother with that. He’d endure the pain and do his best to ignore it. Right now his only concern was finding Jules.

Carter used all his strength to kick the front door open at the knob. Rushing in with guns drawn, he and Max circled the perimeter of each room. It was a fancy home with vaulted ceilings, decorated part rustic, part modern. A bear rug and the two elk heads propped on the wall contrasted with the sleek modern furniture and the gleaming stainless-steel kitchen straight out of an interior design magazine.

It appeared vacant, but when Max inhaled, his nostrils filled and he immediately recognized the honey sweet scent of his mate. The way Carter sniffed curiously in the air indicated that he was picking up on her scent, too.

Max scanned the rooms one by one, kicking in doors and whipping his gun, finding each one empty. Carter called out Jules’s name as he stomped around in desperation.

Max cleared the rooms and the two met back up near the entrance.

“No one’s here,” Max said.

“Her scent is powerful.” Carter inhaled again, shuddering. “She must have just left.”

“The trail will be easy to follow. Let’s go.”

The two shifters rushed back outside and got back in the truck. Carter slammed it into reverse, tires grinding into the gravel as the truck peeled away, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake.
