My mouth crashed into hers. Her lips were soft, her mouth hard and unyielding. She froze for a second. My heart stuttered despite myself. What the fuck was I doing? She was Brennan’s; she wasn’t mine. I shouldn’t kiss her like this.
The next second, she softened. She swayed against me, deepening the kiss. The power of that kiss took me over completely and drove every thought, every resistance, away as if they were insubstantial as smoke.
Amelia’s body was against mine, and I needed more.
Her hands wrapped around my wrists, but this time, she wasn’t trying to push me away. She pulled me closer, and I deepened the kiss. My thigh sank between her legs, wanting more of her, crushing her against my body. She let out a small huff of breath against my mouth, and I stilled, worried I’d hurt her.
But she wrapped her hand around the back of my head, her fingers slipping into my hair, and kissed me furiously.
All I wanted was to tear her clothes off and fuck her here in the woods.
Then a faint, unusual scent reached my nose. I pulled away from her, my nostrils flaring.
It was the odd scent, the one that shouldn’t be here. We’d tracked it already, but we hadn’t found the rogue wolf.
I yanked away from her. She glowered up at me, her chest heaving with her breaths. Furious I kissed her? Furious I stopped?
I didn’t care right now. Not when there was danger near.
“Get back to the house,” I told her. “I don’t have time to run with you now.”
Her eyes were wide, and her own nostrils flared. If she smelled the danger, her face didn’t show the fear.
But a rogue wolf… given the timing, it had to be a spy from the Longroad pack.
I wouldn’t let the Longroad pack take anyone else from me.
“Run.” My alpha power rumbled through my voice.
Her shoulders stiffened. But she didn’t resist.
She turned and raced through the trees. As much as I wanted to chase the scent down, I shifted so I could follow her in the shadows, protecting her, until she had run across the clearing and climbed the porch steps.
Then I turned to go hunting.
CHAPTER30
Shaw
Stone usually ran earlythese mornings and then disappeared to train rather than eating breakfast with us. He and Brennan had been obsessed with going to the gym and training in martial arts since we were kids, and my father had praised them not realizing that they were planning to usurp his throne..
But as the fourth son who would never be heir to the kingdom, I’d relished sleeping in.
Stone had usually joined us at breakfast, though, so I was pretty sure he was just scared of Amelia. Which I found incredibly entertaining.
It was Karissa’s turn to cook breakfast.
Liam, who spent most of his time as the wolf these days, nothing that was unusual for him, stared at Amelia’s face as she ate. She seemed fixed on her hash brown casserole, besides giving him a smile, and spent most of breakfast chatting with Dylan.
Then Dylan ran off to the sprawling Lego build that had taken over the living room. It was turning into a real miniature city. Every time Cole walked past it, I caught him fiddling with some legos, making a new addition. And I, personally, had given the little Lego town a number of absurd buildings.
What entertained me most was the fact that there was almost always some new building in the morning. I’d heard Dylan exclaim excitedly this morning about how there was a fire station now, complete with a pole that the little Lego firemen could not actually navigate very satisfactorily, and even two Lego dalmatians. But the firehouse garage was empty.
“I bet there’ll be a fire truck tomorrow,” I said.
Amelia threw me a look.
“What?” I asked.
