Chapter Fourteen

“Where were you going?” The deep voice held far too much humor for my humiliated self to handle well.

“To work,” I snapped. It was only a couple of miles away after all.”

“Mm-hmm.” The strong arm turned me around to face Cashel, his green eyes twinkling, and the corners of his full lips twitching. “Sorry to interrupt, whoever you are. You reminded me of a certain young lady I have seen wheeling her chair down this very path at breakneck speed. Must be a case of mistaken identity.”

“Funny.” I was beyond disgruntled and ready to cry some more, but I’d never been one of those girls who looked pretty in the midst of waterworks. My nose reddened, eyes swelled, and I made sounds that would shame a cat. So I went with the anger at my failure. “What are you doing here?”

“Following you.” He winked. “I turned my back for a minute to get something out of my pickup, and when I turned around, you were wobbling off into the distance.”

Not the most complimentary, but it was the first time anyone implied I was walking away from anywhere! “Seriously, I’m trying to increase the number of steps I can walk. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to shift, but it would be nice to take a walk in the woods even if I can’t run.” Even I heard how whiny it came out. “Ugh. I’m sorry. I need an attitude adjustment.”

“Question for you?” He braced me with one hand at my lower back.

“Yeah?” My mind reeled with the possibilities. Will you kiss me? Want to go on a date? “Ask away.”

“Do you think you can make it all the way back? I’m not sure about your maximum range, but I’ve never seen you walk more than a dozen or so steps, have I?

My cheeks flushed, burning with embarrassment. “Honestly, this is the farthest I’ve gone I can remember. I can probably make it back, but I’ll need a long rest and maybe another one or two along the way.”

“How did you get this far?”

“Determination? Bullheadedness? I don’t know.” I could see my house through the trees, and it might as well have been a hundred miles away. “But you know what? I’m kind of impressed.”

He grinned at me, and I realized this was the most conversation I’d ever had with the usually quiet Cashel. “I’m impressed, too. But how about I give you a lift home?”

“A lift? You can’t get your truck in here.”

He shook his head and, before I saw it coming, scooped me up and was striding through the forest toward my home. “My wolf wanted me to shift and let you ride him, but we can save it for another time.”

I looped my arms around his neck and held on, feeling, despite my slight weight, it was too much to be carried like this, much less on wolf back. “I’d never— Nobody rides a wolf, do they?” I’d never seen it happen, or had I?

“Not many, but I’m a pretty big wolf and you’re a small human.
