An hour later, Mason pulled up to the ten-foot-tall corrugated metal gates of a scrapyard. Rusted-out husks of cars were stacked high enough along the fence to be visible. He glanced at Ash in the passenger seat. She shrugged and motioned toward the number pad outside the window.

“Hey, he’s a scavenger. He roots through all this scrap for gold, sometimes literally. He does the same with info,” Ash said.

Mason kept his objections to himself and punched in the code Ash gave him. The gate in front of them rumbled into action, sliding out of the way. The pavement gave way to a dirt drive, pocked with deep ruts and potholes filled with muddy water. The husks of cars lined the drive leading toward a squat cement building with multiple garage doors, the farthest one open.

He pulled up next to a boxy tow truck that looked to have been bright green at some point. He judged it to be as old as him, if not older, and likely to have seen its last wash before he was born, too.

The stench of gasoline and motor oil stabbed his nose when he opened the door. It held an undercurrent of mud and rust. Was it rust?

On the other side of his SUV, Ash sniffed deeply. Her eyes jumped to the open garage door, then darted to look everywhere. Mason did the same, then froze, staring at an impression in the mud near a stack of cars. It was a wolf print.

A shadow moved over him. His arm shot up as someone’s teeth tried to take hold. Mason dropped, and they only grazed him. He rolled and kicked the wolf. The beast stumbled on the muddy ground, but it rose faster than Mason. He readied to fend off its next attack. Even in his human form, he liked his odds.

The wolf stalked forward, waiting to strike. Even a feral shifter recognized an alpha’s power, no matter his form. This rogue wasn’t alone. Thankfully, his partner couldn’t stalk a deaf and blind deer. Its paw splashed through one of the mud puddles behind him.

Mason shifted to keep both wolves in view. He tore his shirt open, sending buttons flying.

His bare back pressed against the side of his SUV. The pair of wolves circled in front of

him. Two-on-one, they’d strike before he shifted. Still, he kicked off his shoes and let his loose pants fall.

He’d guessed right. Both wolves darted toward him. Something thumped on the top of the SUV. The wolves hesitated, and a third leapt over Mason. He didn’t need to see its light brown fur, matching Ash’s hair, to know his mate had joined him.

She hit the ground running and barreled into one of the other wolves. It was all the opening Mason needed. He dropped to the ground, muscles and bones shifting as fur burst from his skin.

The second rogue forgot him for a moment, rushing to help its partner. Mason’s jaw snapped around its back leg. He twisted his neck, tearing flesh and muscle.
