UNLIKE ME, SEBASTIEN didn’t look like he’d been running for thirty hours without stopping. Maybe my mate had managed to sleep for a while within his cell. Or maybe he simply possessed a deeper reserve of energy than the one I’d exhausted within my own body. Whatever the reason, the Alphas’ Pinnacle was still a long drive away when my eyelids began to sag and my wolf began nudging at the inside of my skin. Let me out, she murmured.

A couple of hours earlier, the beast had been too tired to push her way into existence even with permission. But now that Sebastien’s proximity and Wolfie’s approval had shored up my sagging self-respect, the beast scratched at my bones, driving them out of alignment and threatening to emerge right there in the front seat of Malachi’s SUV.

Now is not the time, I told her, remembering the expression on Sebastien’s face the last time I’d allowed my inner animal free rein. The professor and I needed to maintain the tenuous connection we’d built long enough to win this race to safety. Only then could we deal with the deeper issues that threatened to drive us further apart.

But my human half was barely conscious and my beast was adamant. Now, she intoned.

And Sebastien must have picked up on my inner struggle because his hand reached across the console to settle in my lap. “What’s wrong?”

“My wolf wants...” I started, then clenched my lips together to hide the fangs that were pushing their way out through the skin of my human gums. That wasn’t the sight my mostly-human companion needed to see after being chased and nearly killed by a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. That definitely wasn’t the impression bound to make him more likely to accept me as his mate.

Only, this time the professor wasn’t fazed. “Let her come out then,” Sebastien answered easily. He motioned toward the now-empty expanse of highway that streamed out before us until it hit the western horizon without a single car in sight. “There’s no one here to notice. No one except me.”

And for an instant, my mate’s formerly intent focus on the road lapsed long enough for his eyes to meet mine. Sebastien didn’t seem daunted by the prospect of my shift...and, for my part, I was no longer able to resist. So, with some trepidation, I relinquished control and allowed the wolf to begin pushing her way free.

Still, I was apprehensive of the repercussions. I fully expected Sebastien to cringe away from the sight as he’d done once before. I braced myself for the slam of brakes followed by the cold emptiness of being left behind as our companion rushed out of the idling SUV and fled in the face of our monstrous presence.

But deep chocolate orbs remained warm with acceptance even as hair sprouted from my cheeks and a snout emerged from my human chin. My mate’s left hand stayed steady on the steering wheel as my legs curved inward, my spine shortened, and my ears grew long and furred.
