What’s the worst thing Kodiak could do to me?
The thought opened all sorts of delicious possibilities that she shut down.
It wouldn’t take long. She’d just grab some of her clothes and toiletries, a few things that would make the clubhouse more like home for her.
“But he said to head right back.”
Tamaska drove the car through the crazy Sydney traffic, heading back to Kodiak.
Home called just as strongly as doing what she was ordered to do. She was sick of wearing sweaty, stinky clothes stained with blood.
It reminded her of the vampires, the fight, and the death she’d witnessed.
Tamaska gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if that action could push away the images burned in her mind.
A horn blasted from behind, and her attention crashed back into reality.
The lights ahead were green, and the cars behind were impatient for her to drive on. Tamaska took her foot off the brake too quickly and lurched forward.
Another blast from a car behind her set Tamaska on edge.
If she was careless and caused an accident, the pack members likely wouldn’t be so forgiving—especially Onai, since Tamaska drove his car. She needed brownie points, not black crosses against her. She couldn’t keep messing up and doing the wrong thing.
Kodiak wouldn’t need to know.
And he wouldn’t, not if she was quick. He was too busy with his new role, leading the pack. He wouldn’t even notice, never mind be angry at her.
All she had to do was to get to her apartment, then get back with the carpet cleaners.
Easy.
Tamaska parked in front of her apartment.
It’s close to the clubhouse, anyway.
Without another thought, she got out of her car and hurried inside the apartment building. After being transformed, she would never need to go back again. It made sense for her to get some of her things now rather than later.
Excuse after excuse for this disobedience filled her head.
The sun shone warm on her skin—another excuse…it was too early for the vampires to out hunt her.
Returning to the apartment might be a sightly risky detour, but if she skipped the shower it wouldn’t count. She’s just go in, grab some things and leave. Easy.
The elevator ride to her floor was slow, and she had to stop herself from pacing the small space. Fortunately, none of her neighbors seemed to be around, and she hurried to her apartment before anyone saw her and started asking questions.
Tamaska took the hidden spare key out of the lockbox, unlocked the door, and swung it open. She’s just do a grab and dash so—
She gasped. Her hand covered her mouth as she stared, horrified, at the sight.
Her neat apartment was torn apart.
Tamaska stood frozen in the doorway. The words who did this filled her brain, but she knew. Of course, she knew.
Vampires.
Tamaska is to become a wolf shifter but she might not survive the change.
If Tamaska wants to survive being hunted by vampires she must transformed into a wolf shifter. But new information brings into question if the transformation process will work or not.
Kodiak doesn’t want to take any risks that might end Tamaska’s life. She is his mate and he can’t imagine living without her. He’d rather she is alive, protected by himself against the vampires. But the vampires capture Kodiak.
Can Tamaska find someone else in the pack to transform her into the wolf shifter? Will she find a way to rescue her wolf mate without letting the vampires capture her?
