The next few minutes were spent racing throws the woods. Her mind spun, and her heart pounded in her chest. She felt lighter than air.
Grant only started to slow when they reached the edge of the forest. He finally stopped within sight of the path. Her wolf joined him, pacing and panting.
She dismounted, and Grant transformed back into his human shape. He glanced at her wolf as well, then at her.
All she could smell was the pine of the woods and a tall stack of fresh-cut lumber.
He’d retained some of his fur and it was like a magnet. She drew close and glided her fingers along his cheekbones, savoring the texture of his fur. It was soft but had strength, nothing silky. He was breathing hard and his eyes were fully gold this time.
He surrounded her with his arms. A hand traveled swiftly to her bottom and pressed. He arched his hips, so she could feel his arousal.
“This is what I want, what I need from you, Natalie, right now.”
“I’m all in, Grant. Don’t doubt it for a second.”
His lips crashed down on hers and his tongue slid dee
p into her mouth. She held him fiercely.
His hips ground into her. Every part of her body needed him.
I want my clothes off. Oh, God, Grant, take me somewhere. Anywhere. Please.
Suddenly, her wolf barked only not with pleasure. A growl followed
She drew back.
Something’s wrong. Grant said.
I know.
She pulled away from him and on instinct connected strongly with her wolf. Through her wolf’s eyes, she could see the shape of a man outlined in shimmery blue.
She directed her thoughts to Grant. Someone’s here. A man. My wolf can see him.
Re-focusing her vision to her fae eyes, she could now see the blue aura as well. She recognized the thick, heavy features and massive muscles.
Kryder. He’s here.
So, she really had been spied on all this time and Kryder was the man who’d forced her alter transformation and destroyed her family. Anger rose in a burning hot stream. She shouted, “Get out of here, asshole! I’m onto you.”
With that, he disappeared through the trees.

Grant looked around but saw no one. “Kryder was here? Just now?”
“Yes.”
“And you actually said those words to him?” He was unsettled by the sudden intrusion, yet at the same time, his lips curved.
“Guess I did.”
He stared at Natalie. Maybe it was her words. Maybe her attitude. Or maybe that her wolf was visible to him and had emerged as her protector.
Whatever the reason, Grant believed he was seeing Natalie for the first time. She was a woman of courage. She’d already proven as much. But that she would stand up to Kryder by provoking him head-on, brought even more fur lining his cheeks and the backs of his hands.
His desire for her sharpened once more, a strong need to put this woman on her back and make her his. Now.
