nodded. He was so close, making her brain not work so good anymore.
    “We need a place to regroup. Not back there.” He tilted his head in the direction they’d just come from.
    “I’ve been staying with a friend. She’s expecting me back.”
    “No, babe. We can’t go back. In fact, if we don’t get our asses in gear we’ll be neck deep in wolves with no life preserver.”
    Sienna jerked. Every little reminder of what happened sent her heart racing and not in a good way. She had an idea.
    “I know of a place. It’s not too far. But won’t they just follow us?”
    He shook his head, climbing back on his bike. “Let me worry about that part. I can handle them. Just tell me where we’re headed and I’ll do the rest.”
    “You know where Lake Crescent is?”
    “Yep.”
    “My parents have a small cabin on the back side. It’s pretty private.”
    He grinned. “Perfect. Get on.”
    Her stomach dropped as she climbed on the back. Just what she needed. Some kind of man wolves trying to chase her down so they could kill her and an empty cabin with Mr. Hottie, who looked good enough to eat, who may or may not end up some sort of serial killer himself. When exactly had her life spun so out of control?
    Oh yeah.
    When the bastard ex-boyfriend decided to steal all her money while screwing some skinny chick behind her back, that’s when!

     

Chapter Four

    Two hours later, Gage pulled into a gravel drive as directed by the pleasantly soft woman pressed against his back. They could have made the trip in much less time, but he spent a lot of time going in false directions to throw the fuckers following them off their trail.  
    A small cabin surrounded by overgrown bushes and vegetation appeared at the end of a short hill. He stopped in front and waited for Sienna to get off. When she did, he drove his bike around back and parked it completely out of sight. Even if someone came onto the property they wouldn’t see his motorcycle.
    He wasn’t sure exactly when his plan to get drunk and laid had changed, but the situation at the bar had gone to hell in a matter of moments forcing him to take quick action. Now he had a serious problem on his hands.  
    He dug into the front pocket of his jeans and pulled out a phone. It was important to get in contact with Bhric and let him know what happened. This situation went beyond the inevitable violence and would have political fallout that the neutral zone leader would have to deal with.
    The feline and wolf clans may have banished those with less than pure blood to a neutral area, but they still expected all shifters to follow certain rules. The most basic and primary of which was not to reveal shifters to humans. It was rare anyone broke that one, but when it did happen it usually meant death to the human and severe consequences to the revealing shifter.
    Unfortunately, out here on the lake he wasn’t getting a strong enough signal for cell reception. He had to get her settled and then make his way to an area where he could make a call. For now he’d send Bhric a text and hope it went through.
    He tapped out his message.  

    Ran into a shifter problem in Sweetwater. Turned serious and I need safe haven for a human female as soon as possible. Will explain more when I get a stronger cell signal.

    “Front door’s locked.” Sienna said, walking by him. “Gonna try the back. I think I remember where the hide a key is.”
    Gage dropped his phone into the front pocket of his jeans and followed behind her. She stepped onto the porch and leaned down to push overgrown weeds out of her way. The place looked like it hadn’t been touched in years. “How long has it been since you’ve been here?”
    “Years. My parents retired down south a long time ago and as much as I’ve been meaning to, I haven’t been back either.”
    Gage admired the view as she wriggled through the brush looking for a mysterious key. He loved her curves. Since the minute she walked into his line of sight
