To Right a Wrong(24)

Somehow, some way. I'll save your brother.” Chapter Ten

Peeking out from behind a bush, Dani was thankful for the greenery hiding her naked state.

Ethan slipped his hand around her upper arm and pulled her back out of the view from the road.

“What?”

“I don’t want anyone to see you. It’s still too early in the day to shift out in the open. We’re going to have to work on your patience, little one.” He softened his words with a kiss. “I swear when this is all over with I’m not letting you out of the house for a week.”

She leaned against his bare chest and the front of her thighs rubbed against his much warmer body. She mewed. He was rock hard, and she was ready. She circled the base of his cock with her fingers and stroked him.

She’d give anything to have her normal life back to enjoy these moments with her mate. His embrace gave her the strength to go on.

Imagining her little brother having his blood drained from his body and stolen by others to give them superpowers was monstrous, sickening. Thank God, Ethan had the strength to carry some of her anger and took care of her.

If she’d found out what he suspected before her heat cycle, she would have gone crazy.



He growled. He rolled his head from one shoulder to the next as if her caress relieved his tension. She straddled his thigh and pressed her pussy against his bulging muscles.

“This morning’s romp wasn’t enough for you?” He stroked her sides, skimming the outer slope of her breasts with his thumbs.

Her nipples peaked and she squeezed his cock. “It never is, but I don’t have to tell you that I’m addicted to you.”

Ethan kissed her, stopped, sniffed the air, and pulled away from Dani. “Stay hidden.” In one step, he’d shifted into his wolf and crawled under the evergreen bush.

A chilly breeze blew over her body. She shivered. She didn’t know whether to shift into her wolf or put her hidden clothes back on.

Ethan had wanted to wait until darkness came to shift and proceed to Greggoire’s house, but if he sensed danger, maybe it was better if she was prepared. But buck-naked and hiding at the edge of the forest didn’t exactly make her a tower of strength to an enemy.

The leaves wiggled, and Ethan’s large gray wolf slunk back into their little hiding spot.

“Shift, little one. It’s time.” One second she was standing, and the next she was rubbing the top of her head underneath Ethan’s neck. Her body vibrated with power, her senses alert for danger. “What happened?”

“Greggoire and a couple of his goons ran down the street. If we hurry, we can search for your brother without having to fight them.” He led the way out of the brush.

She didn’t question his choice of running out in the open in the daylight hours. They had no time to waste.

Chasing Ethan, she surged forward. She gripped the asphalt with her paws, letting the adrenaline coursing through her body give her the extra boost of energy she needed. If they succeeded, she’d have Jordy home where he belonged tonight.

“Be alert. If your brother is in the house, he’s not alone.” Ethan slowed down. “Whatever happens, I don’t want you shifting. You’re stronger in your wolf. Let her use the strength and smarts she’s there for and you’ll be fine. Just don’t try to control her. Her instincts will keep you safe, little one.”

Dani stopped beside Ethan on the east side of Greggoire’s house near the garage. “I understand.”

“Ready?”

She stretched her neck out and licked the side of his face. “Be careful.” Head low to the ground, Dani crept behind Ethan to the back of the house. Shaded with tall cedar trees, the yard sat sheltered and hidden.

She sniffed the air in all directions. He stopped, and she lay on the ground. Tense and ready to run, she waited to follow his lead. This first step scared her to death.

A large glass slider separated the outside patio from the house. From fifteen feet away, Ethan charged forward to leap straight toward and through the glass door. The sprinkling of shattered glass falling on the concrete patio below seemed to echo in the quiet.

Inside, a scream cut off in mid-pitch. She flicked her ears straight up in the air. The desire to follow was almost too much to fight. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah. Come in. There were women in the room who fled to somewhere else in the house. It might be better if they see a she-wolf instead of me.”

She loped forward and jumped through the jagged space in the broken door. “See, I told you others find you scary and—” Stopping, she lifted her nose, sniffed the air, and growled. “Ethan!

He’s here. Jordan’s in the house. I can smell him.”
