agony with a stoicism that astounded her.

His head resting on her pillow, he looked up at her with those searingly blue eyes. They

alone betrayed the pain he was in. More than that, she saw his own fear of her rejecting him

now that she knew the truth of him.

As if she would ever do such a thing.

"Don't be afraid of me, Maggie."

She nodded as she reached to brush his soft hair back from his face. In human form,

he had a bad fever. His skin was so hot and clammy that it scared her even more. There

were still some cuts and bruises on his face, including one cut on his bottom lip, but they

were nowhere near as bad as they'd been the night he'd showed up at her back door.

Days of lying on her floor unconscious had left him with a thick dark blond beard

growing on his face. Though to be honest, it looked surprisingly good on him.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

"Like I got hit by a bus that decided to back up a few times and make sure it finished

the job." He wrinkled his nose at her. "I think it must have ground its tires on my ribs

during the last run. You know, just in case I might actually want to breathe again in my

lifetime."

She smiled at his misplaced humor as she rested her hand on his chest. His heartbeat

was strong under her hand. Grateful for that small favor, she gave a small, silent prayer of

thanks. "What happened?"

Wren hesitated. She could see the debate on his handsome face as he wrestled with

what to say.

"Be honest with me, Wren. I already know you're a shape-shifter and I haven't freaked

out… much. You might as well tell me the whole thing."

He winced as if something hurt before he spoke. "Yeah, I wish I could have stayed

awake long enough to see your face when I changed over."

"No, you don't I assure you, it wasn't pretty."

He cocked his head and took her hand into his so that he could toy with her fingers as

they rested on his chest, just over his bare nipple. He rubbed her palm against his hardened

nub before he lifted her hand to his chafed lips to place a tender kiss on her fingertips.

"There's never anything about you that isn't pretty, Maggie. You're the most beautiful

woman I've ever seen."

Her heart pounded at his words as heat went through her. No one had ever said

anything so sweet to her before. "I knew you had a concussion."

He started to shake his head at her, but it ended up as a wince, as the gesture must have

hurt him.

"So what happened?" she asked again.

"Nothing major. It's just a group of assholes out to kill me."

She wasn't sure what dismayed her most, his stoic tone or the fact that his confession

didn't really come as a surprise. She'd figured as much. "Who are they?"

"Other Were-Animals."

There were more of him? She forced herself not to react to that. But to be honest, she'd

assumed the ones who hurt him had been human.
