stepped into the hallway, pulling the door up behind her. He put one hand on his hip and shook his head. “I’m not sure what I want to say. I…” He sighed. “You’re a cool woman and…” His head leaned in closer and she knew he was going to kiss her.
    Instea d, a deep growl interrupted him. Standing in the hallway was an enormous, black wolf with fangs bared. Taylor reacted quickly and moved between Mara and the beast. Bad idea.
    “No.” She ran from behind him before he could stop her and toward the snarling beast. Though Mara had never transformed into a wolf, or even seen Kaden as one, she’d been around her fair share in their secluded hometown.
    “What are you doing!?” Taylor screamed in horror.
    “He’s my neighbor’s guard dog. They must have left the door open and he escaped. You know how dogs are, very protective.” She stroked the top of Kaden’s head, trying to soothe the beast. “See? Get out of here before he hurts you.”
    Taylor didn’t budge, but the wolf’s menacing rumble became more persistent. “You’re sure he won’t bite you? That doesn’t look like a dog.”
    “I’m sure.” She wasn’t, actually. “He’s mixed with a wolf or something. Just go and don’t tell anyone, please.”
    He cleared his throat and nodded. “Good boy.” Kaden lunged forward a little, snapping at Taylor. “See you soon, beautiful.” He told Marala. Without waiting for her response, he darted for the stairs, making haste to get out of the building.
     
    “Come in the house, Kaden, before someone calls the police.” Firmly, she grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and guided him through the front door. He followed her willingly. Otherwise, she’d have never been able to move the stocky animal. They kept going, passing through the kitchen and into the bedroom. She shut the door and locked it behind her before leaning back against it. “Shift back into a human.”
    He flashed his fangs again, walking closer to her. His nostrils flared as he sniffed up her body. She wanted to run, but terror held her in place. Mara knew she could never escape him anyway. This was no pup. Kaden Dakota was two hundred and fifty pounds of alpha, both as wolf and man.
    “Don’t hurt me, Kade. Please.” She closed her eyes.
    Kaden shifted into human form, pinning her against the wall with his large body. His long hair brushed against her face as he leaned in and drew a slow, deep breath, smelling her. “Where’s the boy?” He growled out, still sounding feral even though he was no longer a wolf.
    Gon e. She tried to say, but the words caught in her throat. “Gone,” eventually came out in a whisper. Her eyes were still clenched shut.
    The lycan male ran his fingertips along her face, before grasping it. His thumb pressed into one cheek while his four fingers rested on the other. He lifted her head slightly. “Look at me, she-wolf.”
    Unable and afraid to resist the command in his voice, she opened her eyes and gazed into the threatening darkness of his. “ If you had mated with that man, he would be dead now.” He sniffed again. “But, the only arousal I smell is yours.”
    “ Kade.” She said sweetly, making sure to affectionately shorten his name. “I’m not ready to die. Jak needs me.”
    Kaden’s unrelenting glare faltered for a split second. Then he wound his arm around her waist and picked her up easily with just the one. Carrying her over to the bed, he lay her down forcefully and before she could move covered her body with his much larger nude one. “You’ll survive this. Don’t worry.”
    Mara swallowed hard, her throat parched and breathing intense. She wondered what telling him no or screaming for help would do, but not for long. Her primal body consented and she lacked the willpower to argue. Potent pheromones hung in the air, thick like Kaden’s erection on top of her jeans, pressing against her thigh.
    If the encounter had been only a few days earlier, during the full moon, she
