together, but somehow it just felt right to do it.
    The kiss was slow and sensual, the soft touch of skin against skin very appealing. When Hensen finally lifted his head, he looked straight at Gavin, his gaze following back to where Gavin and Kade were holding hands. Hensen nodded as if somehow giving his approval.
    “I need to go and explain this to the alphas. Can you look after them both while I’m gone?”
    “Uh…sure,” Gavin said feeling bewildered all over again. It was obvious that the werewolf was attracted to both Maggie and Kade, and if that discussion about mates meant what Gavin thought it meant, then why was Hensen leaving them both in the care of a stranger?
    Hensen tilted his head sideways, assessing Gavin a moment before leaning in and pressing a quick kiss to Gavin’s lips. “I’ll be back as quick as I can. Maybe you and Kade should try and get some rest as well.”
    Kade moved into his arms before Gavin could think to protest.
    “Okay,” he said gruffly, his arms tightening around Kade instinctively. “But do me a favor?”
    “Sure, anything.”
    “When you come back, make sure you’re in human form before you walk through that archway. I’m liable to shoot at a wolf after what happened to Maggie.”
    “Good call,” Hensen said with a nod. “I’ll speak to the alpha about getting the wild pack relocated. If they’re desperate enough to attack humans, we could have a whole lot of attention from the park rangers that we seriously don’t want.”
    Gavin almost jolted at the unintentional reminder that he’d come here looking for his sister. “Can you contact Suzanne as well?”
    Hensen nodded, touched his arm affectionately, and left the cave.

Chapter Three
     
    Maggie woke surrounded by blankets. She gasped for air, her hands immediately going to her throat as memories of the attack thundered through her brain and set her heart pounding with fear.
    “Shh…It’s okay, Maggie. We’ve got you. You’re safe here.”
    “Wh–Where’s here?” she asked as she glanced around, her movements jerky, her reactions fueled by alarm. It took several terrified moments for her to realize she seemed to be inside some sort of concrete survival bunker, but it was the man hovering over her that stole her breath. “You?”
    The blue-eyed stranger shrugged. “You screamed. I came running.”
    “But the…it…” She grabbed her throat still expecting to find something other than smooth skin. When she didn’t find signs of injury she looked around worriedly. “What did you do to me?”
    The blue-eyed man gave her a frown but stepped back to let another man move closer. Strangely, even though she was certain she’d never laid eyes on this man before there was something familiar about him, something that urged her to trust him.
    “Maggie—” he started to say, but she cut him off, glancing nervously between the two men.
    “How do you know my name?”
    “Eleven years ago you fell off a cliff edge not far from here.”
    She went to sit up, planning on pulling her knees to her chest in a childishly protective move, but almost at the last moment she realized she was wearing different clothes. And she was no longer wearing a bra. She closed her eyes, hoping to get her bearings. If she wasn’t in danger from these men, then she was being rude. And well if she was in danger it was probably best not to provoke them by being offensive. “You were one of the people who rescued me?” she asked trying to be polite.
    “Not exactly,” the smaller man said. “I kept you warm that night.”
    “You? You kept me warm? Then why do I remember a wolf?”
    “Because I stayed in wolf form so that I wouldn’t frighten you.”
    That made her pause. “You thought I’d be less frightened of a wolf large enough to eat me?”
    “Well,” he said blushing slightly, “I thought it would be less confusing than a naked man. You were only a kid.”
    “Wait,” she said as what he said finally sank in.
