There was a howl behind me—Ivaylo’s howl.
He was coming.
The tingle rolled over me again, more painfully than before.
I stumbled over a jagged bit of rock, tripping over a crack in the mountain. The drop on the opposite side was only a few feet, but my arms went out in front of me in an attempt to ease my landing.
They did, but they did much differently than I expected.
As I fell, I watched in a mixture of shock and horror as my skin rippled, and then transformed into a coat of bright red fur.
I landed smoothly on fourpaws.
Though I wanted to take a minute to stop and stare at myself, at myfur, I couldn’t do it.
The urge to run and the itch of my fur was still too damn strong.
And after shifting, I could hear Ivaylo’s paws on the stone behind me.
He was still coming.
My claws made a grating noise as I shot into the forest, barreling through the trees and moving deeper into the Peaks. My body felt so strange, but at the same time, soright. The paws felt like mine, and every movement was a natural stretch and flex of muscle that was somehow, inexplicably my own.
I was a shifter.
I was awolf.
And I couldn’t help but wonder if that was exactly what I was always meant to be.
It felt right.
Ifelt right.
Maybe I believed in fate after all.
I sure as hell believed that it was right about me and Ivaylo, if nothing else.
The wind tugged at my thick fur as I ran, throwing everything I had into the sprint to get further from my mate.
My chest roseand fell rapidly as branches broke at my back.
Ivaylo was done chasing me.
Now, he was going to make sure I knew I was his.
And when we were done, he was going to be damn sure he was mine too.
His scent grew stronger as he covered more ground, and after a moment of silence, a hard, hot body collided with my side.
Thick arms wrapped around me as our frenzy flared, its heat forcing me to shift back instantly. Ivaylo and I rolled through the air once, and then again, before his back hit the ground.
The force propelled us to roll a few more times, and he managed to take all of the impact with his forearms, so it didn’t hurt me in the slightest.
Our hearts pounded together when we finally stopped rolling.
His glowing, frenzy-golden eyes stared down at me from above.
“You are mine, female,” he said, the words gravelly enough to make goosebumps emerge on my skin. Both of us glowed brightly, and I was so wet between my thighs, it made my world spin.
