contorted as he sniffed the air. His nostrils flared and his eyes started to glow.
    Sidney turned quickly in hopes of escaping to the bathroom and locking the door before he caught her, but he was already grabbing her arm and turning her back around to face him. He came close to her and smelled around her body. Then he looked her in the eyes and growled.
    “I’m going to ask you some questions and you better tell me the truth.” Sidney swallowed and nodded slightly. He placed both of his hands on her shoulders and she was surprised to see the look of concern come on to his face. “Was Alana in here?”
    Sidney nodded, not wanting to voice what was going to come.
    “Okay, you need to tell me exactly what she did.”
    Without warning tears sprang from her eyes as she began to sob. Josh pulled her into his arms and started to rub her back, trying to comfort her. For all of a second, Sidney actually for the first time felt safe until he said, “It’s okay, Sidney, just tell me what happened.”
    Sidney shook her head against his chest and sobbed even harder. Josh backed her toward the bed and sat down, pulling her on to his lap. He made simple “shhing” noises and continued to rub her back as he cradled her and rocked back and forth as if she were a baby.
    “Sidney, please, baby, I need to know what happened so I can help you.”
    “Please,” her voice croaked and the word was barely over a whisper. She swallowed and tried again, “Please, Josh, don’t make me tell you.”
    “Shh, shh, Sidney, it’s okay, you’re safe right now. But you need to tell me what happened so I can continue to keep you safe.” He petted the back of her still damp, knotted, hair. “I tell you what, I’ll make a couple of guesses and you just say yes or no, okay?”
    He pulled her away from his chest gently, tipping her head up, so he could look into her blood shot and puffy eyes. She nodded.
    “Okay,” Josh breathed trying to remain calm. “Did Alana threaten you in any way?”
    At first she just closed her eyes and Josh thought she was going to refuse to answer. Then she whispered, “Yes.”
    Her voice was filled with agony and her body shook all over. Josh wanted to jump up and charge out the door, right then, but he needed more to go by. “Did she hurt you?”
    Minutes seemed to stretch in to hours as Josh waited for Sidney to answer him, she opened her mouth and her mouth motioned the word “Yes,” but nothing came out. Josh knew that whatever Alana had done had been so bad Sidney was just barely holding back from breaking down completely.
    The tears still streamed her cheeks and her chest hiccupped every time she breathed in. Josh ran his hand through his hair, wanting to rip it out of his head. I knew I should have killed that bitch in the woods . He wanted to growl, he wanted to shift in to his wolf and hunt Alana down, then rip her to shreds.
    Instead he wrapped his arms around Sidney and pulled her head back down to his chest. He needed to know, he needed to stay calm, if he didn’t he could risk losing her completely.
    He closed his eyes and spoke to his wolf, which was at that moment, pacing back and forth ready to break free. Stay calm, we need to help our mate , and we can’t do that if we wolf out on her right now.
    With a low growl, the wolf relented, and forced himself to lie down to wait.
    “Okay, baby,” Josh said, pushing her hair out of her face and kissing the top of her head. “I know I said yes or no answers, but I don’t think I will be able to find out what exactly happened and I won’t be able to help you.”
    Her body shook even more, but she didn’t respond, “Just tell me as much as you can bear and if you need a break at anytime, I will wait patiently.”
    Josh waited as patiently as he could for her response, and when he felt her nod her head, he sighed in relief.
    Abruptly, she pulled away from him and sat on the bed next to him. She pulled the covers up around her. At any other time,
