CHAPTER FOURTEEN

It's a long walk back to the cabin, and I'm sure Max can see that I'm struggling. I'm so weak that I can barely stand up. I lean against him, and he puts his arm around me to support me."I'm fine," I say."Don't be ridiculous," he says. "You're hurt and you're exhausted. You need to let me help you."I know he's right, so I don't argue.  Instead, I just lean against him. He's warm and strong, and I can feel his heart pounding.  He's a fast walker, and I can tell that he's clearly in shape.  I'm grateful to him for saving me.Without him, I'm sure I would have died.  I try to remind myself that he's not my true mate.  But something inside tells me that he is.  It's too strong to ignore.Something about him calls to me and makes me feel like I can trust him.  I lean against him and take in the smell of his skin.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I stand there, frozen, watching them for a moment. I feel hurt and confused, and it takes a moment for my brain to process what I'm seeing.They're kissing and holding each other, and I can tell that they're more than just friends. The way he's holding her tells me everything I need to know. He's leaning into her, his body pressed up against hers.I can feel my eyes begin to tear up and I try to fight it. I can't let them see me. I have no idea why I decided to open the bathroom door, but I did. I can't pretend that I didn't.I'm frozen, my feet glued to the ground, but I have to do something. I can't just stand here and watch them kiss. I can't stand by and watch them be together.I finally convince my feet to move, but as soon as I do, the floor creaks. They pull away from each other and turn towards me.Max looks me in the eyes and the other woman backs away. I take in the woman standing before me. She's petite and curvy, with long brown hair and a beautiful smile. I can tell t

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

"What did you just say?" I ask.She stares at me as I feel my eyes growing wide. I'm trying to figure out if I heard her right."I said I want you gone," she laughs. "Isn't it obvious? I want Max all to myself. And I don't want you hanging around distracting him."I stare at her in disbelief. I mean, I'm not surprised she feels that way, but I can't believe she's just coming right out and saying it. I'm so shocked I'm not even sure how to respond. "Don't look so surprised," she says. "You think that Max would want someone like you? Someone that he can't trust? Someone that isn't loyal?""I'm loyal," I say. "Oh, yeah?" she says. "Then why don't you have a pack? Why were you out there alone?""Because they were all murdered," I say.That shuts her up.She steps towards me and looks me up and down, as if she's trying to decide if my words are true or not. She seems to decide that they are, and she backs up."Well, whatever," she says. "I'm sure you're a very nice person, but M

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

JACKLYNI can't believe this. I'm furious. Completely furious.That little bitch. I can't believe she'd have the nerve to try to take him from me. He's mine. All mine. She has no right to be here, to come in and try to steal him from me.I run my hands through my hair and pace back and forth. I can't believe I'm here, peering into the window like some sort of creep.I didn't want to do this. Max told me to go home, and I know I should have, but I couldn't. I couldn't go back and wait in my cabin by myself. Not with her in there. With him.I can still feel her eyes on me. Staring at me. Glaring at me.How dare she. How dare she try to seduce Max. And how dare he let her.I heard their whole conversation through the open window. And then I watched as he took her in his arms and kissed her. I can feel my rage building.I can't believe this. All I want to do is smash the glass, grab her hair, and pull her out of the room. Make her leave and never come back. Make her understan

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

MAXI'm awoken at 6am by a pounding on the front door. I get up, careful not to wake Victoria, and go out to see what's happening.James, our beta, is standing on the doorstep."You have to come quick," he says. "There's a fire."I look out into the woods and see a faint orange glow in the distance. The fire is miles away, but it's still terrifying to see. Something must have happened. I can't imagine what it is. This fire is serious. If it's not under control, it could spread all over the camp. It's going to tear through the forest fast, and if it reaches us, the pack could be in serious danger. Lives could be lost.I can't let that happen.James and I run over to the camp office. I yell at the team of firefighters who are there to help. "We need to get water into the forest as soon as possible. Make sure the nearby streams are clear of debris and that the water levels are high. We're going to need the water to douse the fire. This is no time to be messing around. We need to

CHAPTER NINETEEN

It's been hours, but Max still hasn't come back. I can only assume he's fighting the fire, but I wish I knew for sure. I wish he'd left me some sort of note.I wish I knew he was safe. There's still no sign of him, and I'm starting to get worried.This is a big fire, and it's spreading fast.   I can tell just by looking at it that it's a serious fire. The trees, the soil, the plants-- all of it is burning. It's turning the whole area into a disaster area.I don't have a lot of experience with forest fires, but I'm realizing just how dangerous they can be. This fire is moving faster than I would have thought possible. It's only a matter of time before it reaches the camp and destroys everything.I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I have to leave the camp. It's not like I can just walk out of the woods. I don't know what would happen to me if I did. The woods aren't safe, and even if I did manage to get out, I'd have no idea where I would go.Plus, there's no way I would ever leav

CHAPTER TWENTY

MAXAs I shut the cabin door, my heart breaks. The proof Jacklyn showed me was compelling, but still, it's hard for me to believe Victoria would really do this.I was so sure she loved me. I was so sure she was my true mate. It's hard for me to imagine I could have been this wrong.But I was. I must have been. She's set a fire that's put my whole pack in danger. And that's where I need to focus my energies now.Victoria doesn't matter now. Only the pack matters.I go to tell my guys to triple check the evacuation of the camp. Then, I return to the front line to see if there's anything else I can do to help stop the fire.Every time I look at the fire, it's like it's getting bigger. It's like it wants to swallow us up.It's hard to put out a fire like this, but I can't walk away from it, either. We're all doing the best we can, but despite our best efforts, it seems like the fire is winning.It's not long before the fire is burning dangerously close to the camp. I can see the
