"We don't know the answer to either question. Our lineage goes back to Canada, and then to Europe.

We know there are others." He flexed his hand on the table. "We heal quickly—you saw that with Tris.

We're stronger and faster. We keep some wolf senses even when we walk as men."

"But when you change… can you still think like a man?"

"Ordinarily, yes. We keep our intelligence and all our memories." He frowned and glanced toward the door. "Tris… he's different. He—" Abruptly he rose from the table. "Let's just say that there are always exceptions."

What had he been about to reveal about Tristan? That something wasn't right with his memory?

"There's still one question you haven't asked," he said.

"Only one?" she said with a lame attempt at humor.

"You want to know why all the stories say that we're killers. What happens if we ever lose control of the wolf side of ourselves." He paced back and forth across the floor of the kitchen. "We're like anyone else—we come in all kinds, all beliefs. My family has never liked to deal with ordinary people. They keep to themselves and stay in the parish. Few of them have ever left, even for a short time."

"But you did."

"You've been asking around."

"I like to know whom I'm dealing with."

"So do I." He favored her with a lopsided smile. "Yes, I left the parish. I attended L.S.U. in Baton Rouge, got my degree. Everyone at home thought I was crazy."

"Is that why you and Tristan live out here alone? Why did you come back to Grand Marais?"

His mouth set in a hard line. "I told you I'd answer your questions about loups-garou. My personal life is off-limits."

"What about Sally Daigle?"

She knew at once he wasn't going to answer, but she couldn't let it go. Not now. "You told me that you and Tristan were prime suspects in Sally's disappearance. You tried to warn me off several times, but now you're confiding what must be your deepest secret." She breathed in slowly. "I need to know, Remy. Did you have anything to do with it?"

The silence dragged out over several excruciating minutes.

"No."

Dana closed her eyes. I knew it. "I just had to be sure. Do you know who—"

"I don't know anything. Drop it, Dana."
