I sat up and looked around. I didn’t know how much time had passed, and I wondered if he had finished talking to his friends. I got up and headed back to the river.
After a few steps across the bridge, I stopped and looked down into the water, at the reflection of the sun that looked like a small fireball. The moving water made the fireball dance, jump, and make circles. I was so attracted to this pageant that I didn't hear when somebody approached me.
Of course, he would know where to find me.
Smiling, I turned around.
“You.” My smile was replaced with a deep frown. “What are you doing here?” That’s all I managed to say before the shock followed as I stared at the blue-eyed guy from the gas station.
“I wanted to see you.” His lips twitched in a cryptic smile. “To introduce myself.”
“Why?”
“We didn’t get to talk much last time I saw you. I’m Eric. I would like to know you better.”
That is so creepy. How the hell did he find me?
I pulled all my courage together and fired out. “Listen, I don’t know how you found me here, but this is a really bad time for this. And this is private property. You shouldn’t be here.”
“Does it belong to your family?”
“It belongs to me.” I heard Finn’s cold voice and looked back. He stood at the end of the bridge with a murderous look on his face. My heart stopped beating for a moment.
The Eric guy didn’t move a muscle but gazed back at Finn like he knew exactly what he was getting into.
I didn’t want to see a fight right now, and I hurried to Finn’s side.
“He was leaving. He probably didn’t see the sign.” I said aloud before I gazed at Finn and whispered, “Don’t start anything.”
But standing like a monument, Finn didn’t even look at me, and as he glared at the guy, I saw the golden ring glow around his pupils. And I realized what that meant.
No way. Oh my God, does this mean that this son of bitch is a wolf? THE wolf?
This was bad. I turned back to the guy.
“You need to leave.” My voice was quiet but firm. “Now. Like I said, you shouldn’t be here.”
“You heard her,” Finn nearly growled, a muscle jumping in his jaw.
“Very well,” The guy arched a brow and smirked like he just won something. “Until we meet again.” He held his eyes on me for a second, then turned and strode away.
For a moment, the two of us stood on the bridge, looking after the Eric guy.
“Finn?” I looked up at him, and he finally turned his eyes to me.
“Let’s go.” He put his hand around my waist and led me back to the house.
Still looking angry, Finn was deep in his thoughts, and I was afraid to say a word. But the moment we reached the backyard, I stopped.
“Finn, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“No, it’s not. Liam said he sniffed a wolf nearby. He probably followed Liam here.”
“You don’t understand,” I started, but Liam, who was crouched in front of the barn, painting a symbol on the ground, turned his head.
“The wolf followed me?” He straightened up.
“Finn, what’s going on?” asked James.
