Chapter 17

Relieved that they had had no more difficulties

during the night, they planned to leave early the next

morning after they packed their backpacks and dressed

for the long trek. Kat was quiet, subdued, and Connor

wasn’t sure what was bothering her. Well, besides the

fact that Maya had turned her into a jaguar shifter, men

had tried to take her hostage, she’d had to kill one of

them, and they still faced the difficult task of getting her back to the States without any further difficulties.

“Anything wrong?” Connor asked for the third time

that morning.

She shook her head, but he knew better. He still as-

sumed her concerns had something to do with the man

she had killed. The man she had thought highly of. But

probably she was also worried about the trek ahead of

them. Would she make it to the States before she had the

urge to shift again?

Or maybe she was worried about another hostage-

taking situation.

He ran his hand reassuringly over her arm. “We’ll

be all right.” He meant it, although he wasn’t sure how

much trouble they would get into before they truly were

all right. But together, the three of them would make

the best of their situation. “He would have taken you

hostage, Kat. You had no choice.”

Maya had been quietly listening to them. He had

hoped maybe she would speak to Kat and see what the

problem was, but although they were both women, they

weren’t alike. Not when Maya and he had been born

shifters. He figured Maya didn’t know what to say to

Kat to ease her mind, any more than he did.

“We’ll make it, Kat.” He pulled her into his embrace,

but gently, worried she might still be a little sore from

her fall the day before, although she had seemed fine

when they made love last night.

She squeezed him hard and looked up at him with the

determination to see this through. “I’m no longer sore.

I won’t break.”

But she seemed fragile to him, despite her strong words.

“You’re just worried about what will happen.”

“What if I shift? I can just envision being the

Incredible Hulk, tearing out of my clothes to change,

but instead of bright green skin, I’d have gold fur with

black spots and very big teeth.”

“And you’d be beautiful.”

She snorted.

“You would be. You were.”

She sighed. “But what if it happens?”

“If we’re in the jungle, no problem. We’ll hide our

packs in the trees and join you up there to sleep a while

until you shift back.”

“And if I do it at a border crossing?”

“You won’t. Think positively.” He wanted to tell her

to think like a human, but he had no idea what had trig-

gered the shift in her the first time around.

“I can’t quit thinking about Manuel, either. He

seemed so nice and then…”

Maya harrumpfed. “He wasn’t nice, Kat. Nice guys

don’t come into the jungle armed to the teeth, intent on

taking a woman hostage for ransom.”

“I know but… I’ve never shot anyone when I wasn’t

on a combat mission. I close my eyes and still see the

blood spreading across his shirt.”

“Before or after we heard a ton of shots fired?” Maya

reminded her.
