then
yipped alerting his pack.  Lettie turned and scrambled for the back.  She
didn’t know them.  They weren’t from her pack.  She whizzed past a blur of
merchandise.  There were rumors of a trio of rogue wolves in the area but she’d
paid the rumors no mind.  She was safe in her bungalow among her pack.  It
wouldn’t surprise her if Jordan sent them just to prove a point.  Lettie
skidded around the end cap and came face to face with two more.  The other
three were still running down the coffee aisle trying to head her off.  Lettie
was quick but not as quick as she should have been.  The floor was extra slick
tonight because Mister Thompson had it buffed earlier after closing.  Damn it! 
Lettie tried to turn but the trio blocked the way.  Five of them altogether,
the rumors weren’t true.  It was often the case.  Another paced up behind the
two.  Six of them, what was this a rogue pack?  Crap!  Where were the police? 
Where was Mister Thompson?  Maybe if he turned the lights on it would scare
them away.  Lettie whimpered.  The wolves shifted into men and she tried to
bolt but they had her pinned.  “Shift!”  The biggest commanded.  He was dirty,
she could smell his unclean body, and it assaulted her wolf’s nose.  He was
their alpha and she had to submit.
    “I told you there
was a she wolf in here.  Party time boys!  Lettie shifted and they were on
her.  They were far too strong to fight off and they were going to do whatever
they wanted to her.  Surely even Jordan wasn’t this cruel.  The most that she
could hope for now was for Mister Thompson to come with the police.  She hoped
that they hurried.  Why didn’t she stay in her apartment and hide?  Just
because she was a wolf in human territory didn’t mean that she was powerful and
they were proving it.  The world lost focus.  Shapes blended, pain spread
through her and she could hear someone screaming.  She thought it might be her.

    Lettie’s nose
twitched.  Jordan .  She struggled to open her eyes but couldn’t.  Her
body hurt.  She groaned.  They’d beaten her.  They’d bitten her, repeatedly.  Had
they raped her?  They’d taken turns at her?  Lettie shivered.  The images were
fuzzy and the details were unclear.  These things happened she was sure but the
details…the devil was in the details.  Her head hurt.  She had a fever, strange
for a wolf.  Wolves didn’t get sick but she was sick.  “It’s okay.  You’re
okay.”  His words were soft and he mopped her brow with a cool wash cloth. 
What was she doing in Jordan’s bed?  How did she get here?  She had to get out
of here before he did more of the same to her as the rogues.  Lettie struggled
to get up.  Her mind blurred and she still couldn’t open her eyes.  Why
couldn’t she open her eyes?  The world spun.  “You’re not well Lettie.  You’re
bruised and swollen.  You have a fever and you need to lay still.  The doc has
been checking on you but he’s got you on some strong meds.  You can’t be alone
so just stay still.  Get some rest.”  She drifted off.
    “How is she doc?” 
She heard Jordan.  He sounded concerned, not at all like his usual self.  How
long had she slept?
    “I’m concerned
Jordan.  I’ve never seen a wolf this sick.  What they did to her is beyond
disturbing but I’ve never seen this strain of bacteria in a wolf.  If this
fever doesn’t break soon…”  Doctor Lee sounded more concerned than Jordan, not
at all like his usual self either.  Usually he was a happy go lucky kind of guy
but then really why wouldn’t he be?  He delivered babies and played golf.  Once
in awhile someone got a little sick with a virus and he had to actually be a
doctor.  Today sounded like one of those days.  No golf today doc.
    “I know doc.  I
wish that I knew what to do for her.”  Jeez, she really was sick, they both
sounded like she was limping to the grave.  Lettie tried to talk but it
