Sheila looked at me, then over at Alec. Then her eyes found the broken cot.“I knew it!” Sheila said.“Fine, yes, you were right. Can we get a couple of minutes?” I asked.“This is my tent,” she teased.“Please,” I said.“Fine, I’ll wait outside,” she said dramatically. “Next time put a sock on the door or something.”“Is that even possible on a tent flap?” I asked.“Alec does live alone, just saying,” she said on her way out.I looked over at Alec and the two of us burst into laughter. “I guess we weren’t fast enough.”“What did she mean by that?” Alec asked. “When she said she knew it?”I rolled my eyes. “She’s been saying the two of us should hook up for a while.”“She’s smart,” he said.I pulled my shirt over my head. “She’s pretty great.” When I poked my head out of my shirt, Alec was glaring at me.I looked around. There was nobody else in the tent. That look was aimed at me. “What’s wrong?”His eyes moved down to my still naked hips. “Were you going to tell me?”I looked down an

Curious, I followed her out of the tent. We hurried past the common area and ducked into the woods. My heart beat faster as we approached Alec’s house but thankfully, we didn’t slow down.When we reached the lake, Sheila started to take off her shoes. “The kids will be gone any minute and we’ll have the whole place to ourselves.”She sat down on the sand and leaned her head back, her eyes closed. “Isn’t the sun marvelous today?”I didn’t see how this was going to make me feel better, but I joined her. Closing my eyes, I leaned my head back. The warmth of the sun did feel amazing on my skin.“You know, Alec is my best friend. But he can be a real dick sometimes,” she said. “But he’ll stick to his word. Whatever you two have planned, he’ll follow through. Even if things don’t work out romantically.”I wasn’t sure how to respond to that. I still wanted that bond broken, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to face Alec.The sky was streaked with pink and the heat of the day made the cold lake wa

Sheila turned on a lantern when we reached her tent. My heart sank when I saw that the cot was back to normal. Alec had either had it fixed or found a replacement. Was that his attempt at an apology or was he simply fulfilling his role as the leader of the feral shifters?“You’ll want to get some sleep tonight,” Sheila said. “I don’t know all the details, but I think tomorrow will be a big day for you.”“If it’s still happening,” I said.“You had a fight. It happens. But we never let disagreements take us away from our plans. We have to be careful out here to survive,” she said.I swallowed down the guilt again. I shouldn’t be here. I’d put them all at risk. Alec knew it from the beginning, yet he let me stay. I should have taken my chances walking to town and found a job. Stuck to my plan. Moved on with my life as a human. My wolf seemed to growl at the notion.I sighed. I’m not going to go back to the old plan.I couldn’t now that I’d started to wake my wolf. I had to break the bond

“I’m eating,” I said.The mood at the table around me shifted. It was like I could feel the tension in the air and I was pretty sure my companions were holding their breath.“This can’t wait,” he said.“It’s going to have to wait,” I countered.He growled.“Lola…” Sheila elbowed me.“Unless someone is dying, I am going to finish my dinner.” I wanted to speak to Alec, but his actions weren’t giving me confidence that he was going to react any better to me than he had earlier.I took a bite of my hamburger. After my last experience leaving Wolf Creek and going without food for several days, I wasn’t about to waste a good meal.To my surprise, Alec sat down on the bench next to Sheila. Tension hung thick in the air but I went back to my dinner, pretending I wasn’t bothered by him.“I’m sorry,” Alec said.All heads turned to him, then I felt their eyes on me. My cheeks burned. “You’re sorry?”“I had no right,” he said.I wasn’t expecting an apology. Sure, I sort of hoped he’d see how much

“Lola, it’s time to go.”My eyes fluttered open to see Alec standing over me. My heart started racing and I was excited to see him. Then I remembered why he was here and all of yesterday came crashing in around me.“Shh, Sheila’s still sleeping,” he warned.I wasn’t sure how long I’d slept or what time it was, but this trip down memory lane wasn’t going to be any easier no matter when I went or how rested I was.Tossing the sleeping bag aside, I sat and tugged on my boots. Then I followed Alec to the front of the tent. I paused at the door, glancing behind me at Sheila. My stomach tightened and I suddenly wished I’d said goodbye last night, just in case.For some reason, I had a sinking feeling I might not be returning here. I wasn’t as set on running anymore, but I knew I couldn’t put Sheila, Mario, Megan, and all the others I’d met at risk. If it was too dangerous for me to return, I’d find somewhere else to go.With lingering sadness, I exited the tent. Hopefully, we’d cross paths

I’d never thought about returning here, let alone bringing a visitor so I honestly never asked. It made sense that there was a work around.We drove in silence for a while and Alec turned from the dirt road onto a narrow, paved road. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the trees around us were bright green and the sky was a brilliant blue. Under different circumstances, this would be a fun way to pass the time. If only we were headed somewhere else. Fuck. Anywhere else would be better.I watched out the window as Alec took us onto larger roads, and through a few smaller twisty roads. I had no idea where we were going and I stopped trying to pay attention to the route. With my terrible sense of direction, I’d need to take this exact trip several times before it sunk in.When we stopped, panic gripped me. How could we already be at Wolf Creek’s border?“You know what to do, right?” Alec asked as he killed the engine.It seemed impossible now that I was facing it. “What if I rea

The trailer park was about two miles from the barn. The route was familiar, something I’d done a hundred times or more. A life spent avoiding others had taught me all the less traveled paths and given me an edge at staying invisible.I kept my head down and walked past homes and stores. I knew enough to act like I belonged without making eye contact. My fifth-grade teacher walked past me on the street. My pulse raced, worried she’d stop me and say hello. She didn’t even acknowledge me.Soon, I was out of the shopping area and cutting through neighborhoods and parks. In the distance, I could make out the trailer park that had been my home my whole life.Some of the residents were outside this morning. Ethan McIntyre, a regular of my mom’s, was sitting in a blue plastic kiddie pool with a can of beer in hand. I wrinkled my nose. How my mom was willing to even let him in her bedroom, let alone between her legs was a mystery to me.A dog barked and ran toward me, only to be pulled back by

My mind was racing as I took the long way back to the barn to avoid running into anyone. I was wanted in my hometown, despite the fact that I wasn’t the one who tried to kill anyone.Fucking figured.The book I was carrying might be worth millions, but at this point, I didn’t care about anything other than Wolf Creek getting what was coming to them. They already had the recipe for the toxin, but they were the only pack with that knowledge. I knew it was an awful drug, but maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if the playing field was leveled.I arrived at the clearing much faster than I expected. Grateful for no run-ins with locals on my walk, I crept around, searching for Alec. He wasn’t outside where I’d left him, but at least I didn’t see any signs of anyone else. He must have taken his chances inside the broken down barn. I wondered if someone had come by here.For a moment, I worried that he’d been caught and I picked up the pace, jogging over to the barn. I walked around the dil
