Chapter 6

Cleona gasped as she stumbled down the steps of her porch. She stared out at the lane, the outlines of the trailers illuminated in the faint morning glow. The neighbors who also got up in the wee hours nestled inside with their kitchen lights burning bright, casting glows out their tiny windows.

None of them the wiser to what had changed in their midst.

This had all been orchestrated, set into motion so many years ago. And Leander’s father was at the heart of it.

She needed answers.

She needed her sister.

But first, she needed to run.

She power walked to the woods behind her trailer, the fear of the unknown making her heart pound out of her chest.

With the protection and privacy of the trees surrounding her, she peeled her robe from her fevered skin and let the cool, damp air of dawn wash over her.

Her muscles tightened and flexed at her movements in an unfamiliar way and her nerves skittered and spiked to new heights with a disquieting sense of unease.

With just her Keds, she took off at a run, not knowing what to expect and prayed she wouldn’t end up just being some crazy woman running through the woods, completely naked.

And here she had once worried about being viewed as trailer trash. Clad in only Keds, tits out, and racing through the woods would do it for sure.

Her strides lengthened, her vision sharpened, and her hearing became painfully acute. The skin stretched over her ribs shifted as she accelerated, the sights and scents of the morning overwhelming her.

The scent of vegetation, distinct and abundant, filled her lungs. She blinked, sucked in a breath, and her arms elongated.

She landed on her front paws, fur rising out of the hair follicles in her skin. Her breath came out in pants as she took off faster, her mind bursting from the discovery of a barrage of new sensations. The sticks and twigs of the forest floor dug into the rough pads, her claws reaching into the earth for purchase. Intense colors almost so bright she couldn’t stand to look at them, and the scent of last night’s rain bathing rich vegetation leaving a damp, sweet scent surrounded her.

Branches whipped at her with her burst of speed, but her fur protected her from the sting of each lash. Laughter bubbled up, but came out in a canine chortle with the exhilaration pulsing through her with every lunge.

She could do this for hours.

But Leander.

She needed to go to Leander.

Skidding to a halt, she shifted direction and aimed back the way she came.

She’d hold on to her new abilities. She’d learn her history. She’d take her place.

But she’d take her mate first, and only because she wanted him, not because fate told her she had to.

She slowed to a walk and took several cleansing breaths, her muscles flexed, relaxed, shifted, and before she knew it, she stood upright on her bare feet at the edge of the woods.

Draping her robe over her shoulders, she snagged her shoes and headed straight for Leander’s porch.
