loved. Even if he didn’t love her, she would take what time she had with him, and then she would go home.

    She hurried out the cave entrance and onto the soft grass that led down to the pool, a smile on her face.
    Shock ripped her being.
    Blocking the path was an enormous black wolf.

    Wolf’s Law

Chapter Five
    Sheer terror nearly drove Analeen to her knees. But she couldn’t move. Couldn’t run. Could do nothing but remain trapped in the silvery-gray gaze of the black wolf.
    The wolf that had gone after Jove and Dyrke and had chased the bastards away.
    His head was raised, studying her. Beside him was the pelt of a deer and Analeen hoped the wolf was full. Of course, even that wasn’t a guarantee he wouldn’t tear out her throat anyway.
    She slowly took a step back.
    The wolf stepped forward.
    Analeen went still again. And then felt blood drain from her face as the wolf began to change before her very eyes.
    The beast rose up on his hind legs that transformed into a powerful man’s legs. Fur melded into skin, fangs into straight white teeth. The only thing that didn’t change was his silvery-gray eyes.
    Law’s eyes.
    Her head grew light and the world seemed to topple sideways. She started to fall but in the next moment she found herself in Law’s arms.
    She went wild. “No!” she screamed as she fought and clawed him. This time she had more strength than she had the first time she had tried to escape Law. She fought with everything she had, put every bit of rage left in her from when her mother had been murdered by that wolf. All Law did was hold her, press her tight against his bare chest. He didn’t try to stop her from hurting him, but he didn’t let her go. He just held her.
    When she had worn herself out, Analeen went limp in his embrace and cried. Law scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the cavern.
    “You lied to me,” she shouted through her tears. “You’re not who I thought you were.”
    “I never lied to you, kitten.” His voice was firm, but his eyes soft and understanding. “I told you that I would not bond with you until you knew who I am.
    What I am.”
    Analeen swallowed as he carried her into the sparkling crystal cave. He spoke the truth. He hadn’t come out and told her, but he hadn’t lied to her either. And when he had attacked Jove and Dyrke, he had saved her. He hadn’t attacked her—he had snapped his jaws through her rope.

    When he reached the pile of pelts that they slept on, he lowered her onto the soft fur, then settled next to her. His long dark hair was wild about his face and passion burned in his silvery-gray eyes. His glorious body was naked as always, only scratched and bleeding where she had taken her fear out on him. His cock stood out thick and long. He wanted her, even now.
    And she couldn’t deny the fact that she wanted him. She still loved him.
    She clenched her hands into fists. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
    Law sighed and ran one finger down the bridge of her nose to the tip. “I am sorry I did not tell you, kitten. But I did not want you to fear me. I know how afraid you are of wolves.”
    Analeen bit her lower lip. “But a werewolf? Why do you have to be a wolf?”
    His features were serious as he said, “Does that mean you cannot love me any longer?”
    Her eyes widened and her cheeks burned. How did he know? She had only figured it out moments ago.
    “I have another confession to make.” Law traced her lower lip with the pad of his finger. “One of the many talents of a werewolf is the ability to sense feelings and to read minds.”
    She frowned. “You’ve been reading my thoughts? I don’t think I like that at all. As a matter of fact, it makes me want to punch you.”
    Law shrugged one shoulder. “It is a part of me, as breathing is a part of you.”
    For a long moment Analeen studied him and then her heart betrayed her. No matter that he was a werewolf with talents beyond her
