“Nolan!” Coral screams. “No!”
The bear looms. I see one huge paw, arched above me…
Something hits me. Like fucking lightning.
Suddenly, power rushes through me. Power like I’ve absolutely never experienced before. I feel invincible, like I can feel every single blade of fucking grass around me, and I can almost sense the bear moving before he does.
It’s fucking great.
I spring up, snarling. The bear roars and lumbers toward me, but with my senses so sharp, it doesn’t fucking matter. I rush him. He snaps at me, his massive paws batting at me, but I dart away. He’s huge. I’m big, and I know right now if I can just get my jaws on him, I can?—
Roots shoot up out of the ground. They grab the bear, who lets out a roar of frustration, crashing to the dirt. The roots net over him, pulling him down. Holding him there. Right where I want him.
I leap forward again, pinching my jaws against the back of his neck. I bite down. Hard.
Beneath all the fur and gristle, the bear’s neck snaps clean in half.
Blood dripping off of my teeth, I stagger back. I’m panting, breathing hard, but not nearly as hard as I should be.
The power is fuckingincredible.It’s swamping me, swarming around me. I swear I can see little green threads of energy, weaving around me, making a net, pulling me toward…
Coral.
Looking over at her, I almost collapse with shock.
Coral is glowing.
She looks like she’s on fire. Her skin radiates a warm, golden light, and her blue eyes are electric. They’re wide with shock.
“Nolan… what…” she says.
I can feel her confusion. I canfeel it.Holy hell.
“They might come back,” she whispers. “There’s more. A whole bunch of them. He said that they would murder everyonein Oakwood if I didn’t come. He said they would kill everyone just like they did in Seattle…” Her eyes squeeze shut.
Pain lances through me like a hot iron. I kneel, hoping Coral will understand what I’m asking.Get on my back, baby.
She blinks, rotating her head like she… heard me.
Dropping the bag, Coral climbs on my back.
Hold on,I urge her.
When she answers, murmuring her agreement into my fur, triumph surges through me.
Coral is my fated mate. The person meant for me. Which means she’s mine.
Forever.
When we getto the alpha’s house, I gently let Coral down from my back. I shift, the magic so easy, it feels like I’m just stepping from one form into the next.
I grab Coral’s hand. “We need to tell Thorne.”
She nods. I’ll tell her about being my mate when we do.
Banging on the door of his house, I start yelling. “Thorne! Come out! Now!”
Sleepily, Thorne opens the door. “You better have a fucking good reason?—”
