TWO
The wolf kept growlingand snapping his teeth at me throughout the drive, but eventually, we made it to a town I’d never heard of before.
Alive, too, by some miracle.
She parked in the garage of a little townhouse that I refused to admit was cute, and gave me one last forced smile before getting out of the car.
“He can’t actually hurt you,” she repeated, for at least the tenth time since we’d been in the vehicle.
“Yet he’s still snapping his teeth at me,” I also repeated, through gritted teeth.
“Only because you smell like Reed,” she said, like that was supposed to reassure me.
Before I could reply, she hit the button to unlock the doors.
One of the guys in the back got out and quickly opened my door. Ford snapped his teeth at me one last time before jumping out, and I groaned in relief at the literal weight off my legs.
I wobbled a bit as I stepped out. The blond guy started to reach for me, but stopped when Ford snapped at him.
“For someone who’s supposed to be my soulmate, that wolf’s a real asshole,” I shot to Tea.
She gave me an apologetic grimace, crossing the garage and opening the door that would lead into the house. “I know. They’re protective, and possessive. It’ll get easier after you take a shower and the guys leave, I promise.”
“What? You’re leaving me?”
“Yes?” Her face grew more apologetic. “The wolf won’t settle until he has you to himself.”
The blood drained from my face. “What kind of screwed-up, shitty world have you dragged me into?”
“Nothing bad—he won’t do anything weird, I swear. That came out wrong. Can we just start over? I’m just going to start all of this over, whether you like it or not.” She opened the door that led into the townhouse, and gestured for me to follow her in as she slipped inside.
I didn’t move.
The wolf nudged the back of my leg with his nose, and I all-but sprinted away from him, into the townhouse.
“We’re going to go grab the car,” Jesse called to Teagan, catching the door before it could shut behind me. “I’ll be back for you in an hour.”
“Bring food,” Tea called back, and then shot me a sheepish expression. “Werewolves are always hungry.”
Great.
Ford was definitely going to eat me.
“Okay. Love you.”
“Love you too!”
The door shut, and I heard the garage door open again.
There went my ride.
I glanced around the room, hoping for a get-out-of-jail-free exit or something. But all I found was a normal-looking townhouse with an open floorplan. The kitchen was sleek and modern with dark cabinets, gray walls, and white speckled countertops. The kitchen table was equally modern, matching the cabinets, with an oddly-high tabletop and chairs.
I could see the front door from where I was… and the gray wolf sitting right up against it, staring at me.
So much for a way out.
“So, starting over,” Tea repeated, walking over to the kitchen table. She jumped up into one of the chairs, making herself at home. I remained where I was, standing only a few feet in front of the door that led into the garage.
