One that really liked Madd.

His fingers sank into her fur, and he stroked her behind the ears. My wolf leaned into his touch, enjoying the hell out of it.

“You’re blood wolves,” he said, his voice somehow still even. “That’s why you’re hiding here.”

“Seems pointless to deny it now,” Tori’s voice was tired.

“Who are you hiding from?”

“The people who made us.”

“Who are…”

“None of your business.” She didn’t bother beating around the bush.

Damn, I loved her.

My wolf leaned harder against Madd’s fingers, and he continued petting her without pause. “I’ll kill them for you.”

“For Love, you mean.”

“Of course. I won’t let anyone threaten my mate.”

Tori sighed. “If I thought you could, I’d tell you.”

“I’ve been the alpha of the most powerful pack in the world for a damn long time. I can handle it.”

“You’ll have to convince Love of that, then. I’m not telling you.” Tori’s voice left no room for questioning whether she was serious or not.

Madd continued petting my wolf.

“Can I please have control again?”I asked her.“I’ll find a time for us to run as soon as possible.”

“You’re going to take me away from my mate,”she grumbled back.

“The mate thing hasn’t been decided.”

“Yes, it has. I decided it.”

I groaned.

She reluctantly stepped back, and Madd let her go after a moment of hesitation.“Don’t hurt him,”she warned me, sitting down on the bathroom floor.

“How would I possibly hurt him? Have you seen him?”

Her deadpanned emotions told me she wasn’t amused.

“I’m pretty sure I just got myself addicted to his blood, okay? If I kill him, we’ll starve to death.”

That answer satisfied her, and she let me take control again. Our body shifted until my human legs were sprawled out in front of me, my bare ass on the ground.

It took me a second to reorient myself. It had been so long since I last shifted that it felt weird to do so. Plus, my body was much more relaxed than it had been in months. If ever.

“Move to my pack’s neighborhood,” Madd said, not acknowledging my nudity. Our clothes disappeared into the void when we shifted with them on. “Both of you. We have empty houses. And we own most of the city, so no one worries about money. You would be safe and healthy.”

“We’ll need time to think and talk about it,” Tori said. I was glad she answered for me, because I was still trying to adapt to my human body and my lack of hunger again. “For now, you need to leave.”

His chest rumbled unhappily, but he left. She followed him to the door, locking it when he was gone. It wouldn’t keep any real threat out, but it made us feel better all the same.
