overprotective and overbearing.”
    “Is that knowledge from experience?”  
    Diego thought about her question while watching the smooth strokes she made in the water. Strong, beautiful and feisty. The list of things he liked about her was getting longer and longer.  
    “I see it in the pack all the time. Girl pups are pretty rare, so when they do come along they are coddled and protected beyond necessity.”  
    “No children yourself?” she whispered the question, full knowing he would still hear it.  
    “No.” His answer was both gruff and abrupt. Hopefully she got the message he didn’t want to talk about it.  
    They continued the rest of the way in silence, each scanning the island as they got close and not seeing anything out of the ordinary.  
    The light he’d seen from the point had disappeared. Maybe it had been a trick of the moon shining on something colorful.  
    When they hit land she scrambled out of the canoe and he followed suit before lifting the canoe and stowing it inside the tree line so it wouldn’t be spotted.  
    “It’s really quiet here. It seems deserted,” she whispered.
    “Too much so. The forest is rarely a silent place. It could be quiet because I’m here now or it might be something else.”
    “Because you’re a wolf.”
    It wasn’t a question but the tone of her statement made him uneasy. The word wolf didn’t come easy.  
    “You really hate us, don’t you?”
    Her head whipped around and her widened eyes fixed on his. “I don’t even know what I’m supposed to say to that.”
    “The truth,” he suggested.
    “Well, the truth is I don’t know what to think anymore. You’re the first shifter I’ve ever encountered who wasn’t trying to kill me. Although I fully expected it when I was first tackled on the beach. You and your brothers were so angry.”
    “Rightfully so. You shot Dante. It’s kind of hard to keep a level head when your brother narrowly escapes death.”
    She rolled her eyes. “I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that if I wanted him dead he would be. I could have made that shot with my eyes closed and one arm tied behind my back.”
    “So you keep saying.”
    She threw her arms up in frustration and blew out a hard breath before she turned away and started up the beach. “Let’s just get this over with. The sooner we find no one out here the sooner we can leave.”
    A loud snap sounded from in front of them.
    “I don’t think we’re alone...”  

Chapter Five

    Allison fought the nerves taking flight in her stomach. If he was out there they should both be worried. She wasn’t sure what to expect but she had a hunch it wasn’t good. Which is why she’d come prepared.  
    The sounds ahead of them disappeared and she took off to follow them.  
    “Hey,” Diego called behind her.  
    She didn’t have time to stop and chat with him anymore. She had to find her brother. He was in danger from their family and these werewolves and she wasn’t about to let either faction kill him.
    There had to be a way to save him.
    She ran harder, ignoring the branches scraping at her arms and face as she single-mindedly followed the subtle signs of a trail left behind by someone moving fast. Broken branches, depressed leaves, and compacted soil all made it obvious someone had been here watching her and Diego come on the island.
    Not that Diego was far behind her. She didn’t have a hope in hell of outrunning him, but if he followed from the rear then there was a chance she could get between her brother Brody and the wolf Diego.  
    A snarl not far in front of her brought her to a screeching halt. There was a very large tan wolf now standing in her path and his eyes glowed yellow while he continued to growl at her.  
    At her back, another growl was her only warning before the sound of bones popping and breaking filled her ears.  
    Afraid to take her eyes from the animal in front of her, she didn’t move.  
    “Brody?”
    The animal
