The word was hunted.

This is what I warned you about. My brother’s voice was still in my head.Acting weak isn’t the answer.

Maybe that voice in my head was just me. I felt like I was hiding, but I’d never faced a threat like this before. Humans clogging the mountain roads I called home, looking for me. I was so close to finally bridging the gap between the world I’d known and the one that existed now, and I didn’t want to screw it up.

Scared, the voice said.

Maybe. But for the first time in a long time, I had something to lose.

Then fight.

There were footsteps coming down the hallway, and even though I wasn’t hungry, I’d be glad for the distraction of a meal.

Funny how you automatically assume they’re friendly, the voice said.Don’t you see how soft you’ve become?

I growled, more at the voice than the footsteps, and turned to find Hannah.

Her eyes were wide, her hair was messy, and her hand was over her mouth.

So. Fucking. Gorgeous.

She was frozen in place, like she didn’t trust her eyes, either.

“Come here,” I said, my voice much rumblier than I intended as I rose from the couch. “I want to touch you and make sure you’re real.”

“Sweet moon, same.” She practically ran into my arms and pressed her soft body against mine. “You feel so good.”

It would take everything for me to control myself with her this close to me. But cameras were everywhere, and if someone managed to get past security and into my man cave, that wasn’t the show I intended to film with her.

I took her face into my hands, loving how soft and smooth her skin looked against my dark fur. How her blue eyes sparkled with mischief and desire as she drank me in.

“You feel incredible,” I said, brushing my thumb over her cheek. “Wait, you said you wanted to touch me?”

She laughed. “Of course I do. It’s all I’ve been able to think about.”

“Why are you holding back?”

She lowered her gaze, letting her eyes roam over my body. My cock twitched, but there was no way I could get it inside her.

My tail swished, more than willing to go into action. To expand inside Hannah and get her ready for me.

There was no way I could have her now. Here. With all these people around.

Why was I holding back?

“Because I’m terrified you’re mad at me.” She pulled away from my grasp and wrapped her arms around herself. “Lars, I made a mistake. You know that I didn’t mean to pick Armand, right? I hate that I haven’t had a chance to talk to you about this. I want to explain what happened. Of course, you know, but this is all so new for you. I—”

“Wait.” Instinct told me I didn’t like where this confession was going. “Why are you telling me this now?”

I’d lost track of how much time I’d spent in my makeshift man cave. Probably close to a week.

“This is the first time I’ve been here since we were on stage.” She chuckled and pushed her lavender hair away from her face. “I’m supposed to be in hair and makeup.”

I took a tentative step toward her, growling at the thought of my next question. “Has anything changed?”

Her lips parted, confusion clear on her face. “No.”

“You’re not here to tell me that you’ve chosen Armand?”
