talking and looked around. “Is it getting brighter? Is it a full moon?” She searched the sky, but saw only branches and darkness, no gaps.
    She could barely see his frown as he released her, but she could see it, when moments before she couldn’t make out any of his facial expressions.
    He sat next to her and watched her face as she rose up, looking around with much curiosity.
    “No. Why?”
    But then her sight began to fade again. The outlines began to blur and blend as though her sight weakened in exact relation to her doubt. She squinted hard. “I could see! Just now, I could see! And now it’s going away again! NO!!”
    “What do you mean? Of course you can see.”
    She shook her head, overwhelmed with disappointment. “No, I can’t. You can! Because you’re a supernatural fucking superhero.” She sighed, “It’s too dark for me. Why do you think flashlights were invented? But things came back into focus just now. Why??”
    From the blinding darkness came his voice. “Your eyes adjusted.”
    “If that were true, why can’t I see now?”
    “You can’t see anything?”
    “No. Nothing!” Frustrated, she stood up and smoothed down her pelt, irritated that she couldn’t see even it. It was on her body, and yet there wasn’t even an outline! “It’s just not fair.”
    “You’re only human, Ali.”
    She made a noise of disgust at the thought and with dwindling patience, said in his direction, “Look, I can’t get back on my own. I can’t even get twenty feet without bumping into something. I am going back, Red. I haven’t changed my mind. So…you’re giving me no choice. If you don’t take me back right now, I will never talk to you again.”
    He didn’t speak for several long moments, and when he did, his voice held no humor. “You don’t mean that.”
    “I do mean it.”
    “You’re bluffing.” She didn’t have to see him to know he was getting angry, now, too.
    She probably wouldn’t be able to never speak to him again, but right now, she felt helpless enough to convince herself it was possible. He was holding her hostage, and fuck that shit. She picked off a few more careful steps away from him and called back, “Truth? You want the truth? If you take me against my will, I will make your life hell.”
    “She says, after she just begged me to fuck her harder,” he called back with dripping sarcasm.
    She stopped walking and spun around, yelling in his direction, “Just because you can seduce a woman doesn’t mean you can make her love you!”
    His blue eyes glowed hot enough for her to see, and his outline returned as he walked to her, fury sparking between them. Had she looked around, she would have seen the forest coming into focus again, but he held her glare like he controlled it.
    “Fine. I’ll take you back.”
    Without another word, he shifted. Ali yelped and jumped out of the way. As the transformation completed, he turned away from her and snarled.
    She climbed onto his back, and leaned down to his ear to whisper, “Thank you.”



Chapter 2
    R ed felt her fingers lace his fur, and when he knew she had a good hold on him, he growled and took off into the forest. On the way here, he’d relished in impressing her. But now he was pissed. Here she was demanding to be taken back to another alpha when she had him.
    He decided to show her what he was made of.
    He ran as fast as he could go without dropping her. Her gasps whenever he leapt the seemingly insurmountable obstacle egged him on. He looped quickly through the trees and over rocks and high shrubs, vengefully pleased as she gripped more tightly with her legs each time and swore at him loudly. When they got to the base of the mountain, there was a set of boulders that started low and climbed high. He smiled inwardly, wondering if he could do it. He decided to give it a try.
    “Don’t you dare!” she yelled at him. He growled and she gripped him as tightly as she could with all her limbs, locking her hands together
