already.”
    A growl vibrated her back as Rhys
heard Tito’s words. He reached for the phone and snapped it shut, affectively
ending the call, before throwing it onto the old sofa and turning her in his
arms.
    “You belong to me now, Kaitlin,” he
urged before covering her mouth with his possessively.

 
    Chapter 6
     
    Kaitlin awoke with a start and
checked her watch. Eleven twenty.
    Her needing scent had perfumed the
room during her sleep and it hung heavy. She was surprised it hadn't woken Rhys
yet, but maybe he’d become attuned to it since he’d been in her company for the
last twelve hours or so?
    It was time to go for a run.
    Rhys would find her and mate with
her in animal form but only after winning her puma over.
    She glanced across at his sleeping
form and smiled. They’d certainly worked each other into a frenzy earlier and
she had to admit she’d had the most mind-numbing orgasm of her life. Maybe he’d
be worth the hassle in the end. Her parents would most likely disown her but he
seemed the type of guy who’d stand by her whatever happened.
    A cloud moved and bright moonlight
lit the room. Her needing scent intensified and she felt her body twitch with
the urge to shift. For a second, she considered fighting it. It was stupid of
her to shift when she still didn’t have one hundred per-cent control of her
puma but she also knew it was futile. The full moon was impossible to resist.
    Rhys moved under the covers and she
knew she had to leave now.
    Nude, she stood and silently made
her way outside. Crouching on the wooden porch, she relaxed her body and
reached out to the power of her puma. She gritted her teeth against the pain of
the shift as muscles and bones lengthened and stretched to accommodate her
feline form. A few minutes later the shift was complete and she yowled and
shook herself out, getting the feel of her new body.
    Rustling came from inside the cabin
and she turned to see Rhys coming out of the bedroom looking dishevelled but
extremely hot. His amber gaze locked with her grey and the puma hissed at him
before turning and running.
    It was strange for her when she
shifted to puma form because it was like she was having an out of body
experience, she could hear and feel the puma’s thoughts and feelings but they
weren’t her own. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Her mind and the puma’s
were supposed to be one and the same, she was supposed to have some control of
the animal’s actions but she had none as the puma weaved through the trees at a
steady run.
    Kaitlin could sense Rhys closing in
behind her and the increasing distress of the puma. That wasn’t good news.
    Minutes later they reached a steep
cliff overlooking a murky river and the puma backed away. Rhys skidded to a
stop behind her and the puma hissed a warning and backed up a few steps, the
cliff crumbling a little beneath her feet.
    No, no, no…
    The puma couldn't seem to decide
which way was safer; past the wolf or into the water. It seemed to choose the
water, turning to leap.
    “Kaitlin, stop!”
    Her entire being froze at the command
in his voice and she breathed an inner sigh of relief. He was using his alpha
tone and it was working. The puma glanced over her shoulder and she saw he was
stood there naked in the moonlight, his eyes bright with some emotion.
    He must have pushed himself hard to
perform an almost instant transformation from wolf to man. It must have hurt
immensely but he’d done it to save her.
    “Back away from the edge and shift
back,” he ordered, his voice wavering slightly.
    She held her breath waiting to see
whether the puma would obey. After a few tense seconds it stepped forward and
she felt it give itself over to her and she quickly reached for the energy that
made her shift possible. This time it seemed more painful and took every bit of
energy she had to shift back to human form.
    Kaitlin curled in on herself on the
hard ground and shivered, too tired to do anything.
    “Fucking hell,
