We stop on the way to the bus station and grab some breakfast. I make sure we are sitting at a table where we can’t easily be seen from outside, but I can watch anyone walking by the diner. We order coffee and breakfast. As we’re eating, I see the shifter from last night walking by, looking around.
I was serious last night when I asked Eli to mark me rather than let some stranger mark me. Better the devil you know, right? At least I hope so. I may not believe in the mate bond, but I have a better chance with someone who might actually care about me than with someone who only wants me for the s

When I get close to the town, I shift and call Rik, letting him know that we were still running from the red wolves. I told him that I’m hoping we have enough of a lead on them that we will make it without any fur
‘She’s ours.” Louis roars in my head as he jumps on top of her, his canines sinking into her neck. I immediately feel the mate bond kick in. I can feel her fear and just before she loses consciousness, I hear her screaming my name in her mind. Maia goes limp. I pump more venom into her while she’s
