werewolf and if I can’t stop her changing, she may
not be able to hold onto her humanity. Do you get it, you jerk?
Your macho act of stupidity here...” I pointed at his gun, “has
triggered her wolf. She’ll be too strong to fight and will take
control. Maybe forever”
    I ran over to where Jasmine was lying. She
was now in the fetal position, lying on her side and I could see
her muscles and joints starting to lengthen and rearrange
themselves. Her nails had grown longer, sharper at the tips and a
light coat of fur rippled and flashed over her skin. It would be
only moments.
    “Come on, Jasmine, baby. Fight it.” I groped
my pockets for my cell phone and cursed out aloud. Of course, this
would be the time I left it at home.
    I began a silent chant in my head for Mason,
trying to send a frantic call through the pack bond. I wasn’t sure
whether it would work with me being in human form still because I’d
had difficulty with it before. Strong emotions also blocked me from
communicating with Pack sometimes. Mason thought it was because the
intensity overloaded the circuits but I couldn’t focus on it now. I
needed to help Jasmine.
    “I can sense her Darcy; she’s desperate to
get out. She’s strong and I’m not sure I can hold on to me too when
she comes.” Fear blazed in her wolfish eyes. The yellow tinge
almost glowed in darkness of the evening.
    “Do you remember what we’ve told you in the
past? About how as you feel her pass, to focus on what makes you
Jasmine? Tell me what you’re going to think about?”
    “I’m going to think...” Her thought was cut
short as a gut wrenching scream erupted from her mouth. The press
of the gun barrel returned to the side of my head.
    “Enough with your damn gun, Gary. Enough!”
My own wolf, hungry for action, felt that much closer.
    “What’s happening? Make it stop! It’s not
supposed to be like this. I meant to kidnap her, whisk her away
where I could have a chance to win her over, make her see that she
could love me. I wanted to get her away from pack and all things
wolf, and we would’ve been happy.”

    The arrogant facade Gary had been
maintaining started to crumble as hysteria crept into his voice. He
drove his hand through his hair and began to pace back and forth,
the gun still in his grip.
    “Just take your gun and walk away! Mason
will arrive soon and you’re not going to want to be here when I
tell him what happened. Forget about Jasmine, about us all. Just
leave!” I screamed the last words at him as I used my hands to try
and soothe Jasmine.
    “No, I’m not leaving without Jasmine. Fix
her and we’ll leave together.”
    I almost choked on my shock. This guy was
truly delusional if he thought I was letting him anywhere near
Jasmine again. Standing to my feet, I turned to face Gary and
stalked towards him.
    “You’ll go and you’ll go now before I rip
your throat out. I’ve had enough of this. You’re wasting my time.
Don’t make me do something I’ll regret.” I shoved him and pointed
to down the street. “Run, while you can. You think Jasmine will be
scary? You have no idea what it’s like to face an infuriated alpha
wolf and Pack members. You have no idea what it’ll be like facing me. ”
    The sound of a wolf growling behind me
interrupted my angry rant. I closed my eyes, not needing to turn
around to know she’d changed and from the electricity that was
dancing over my skin and the tension beneath it, it wouldn’t be
long before I’d change as well.
    “ Run , I will not warn you again!”
    A look of revulsion crossed over Gary’s
face. I turned around to face Jasmine and it didn’t take a genius
to see he didn’t like what he saw. His reaction was confusing
because this was nature at its finest.
    Jasmine was a breathtaking wolf – silver fur
with white tipped ears and paws. Her snout was ebony and her fur
shined in the moonlight.
    “Make her change back!” he screeched.
    I reached out with my senses to see whether
I
