Gaby regarded him. The shimmering shadow of the wolf appeared and his facial hair appeared thicker than it had before she slept. “Wait. You don’t plan on driving all night do you?”
“We need to drive until morning, switch cars and then find an area where we can literally hide from werewolf trackers.”
“Surely, they’ve lost your scent by now. If they were really stalking us.”
“I’m not saying my memory is back, but I sense I’ve chased down illusive werewolves before.”
“How?”
“Go back to my last spot. Gather evidence at the helicopter crash. From there, search for who might have found me.”
“Sounds like an intelligence operation with satellite equipment and sophisticated surveillance.” She shrugged. “I ought to know.”
“Glad we have nefarious shadow groups in common.”
“I still think we should stop in a secluded place. Even sheepdogs need sleep.”
“Not if they are protecting sheep,” he snorted.
“Hey, I do have skills.”
“Okay, where shall we stop?”
Gaby looked at her smart phone. When they purchased it, Kane compelled the tech guy to give them the plan with satellite access. “We can stop in Redding or farther up and enter Mt. Shasta Trinity Forest.”
“We need to stay away from forests. They’ll search all national parks.”
“Okay, we’ll stop in the city then.”
“We’ll see how I feel.”
“I’m sure we can compel someone there to sell us a car.”
“About that. Every time, I compel a person, my wolf makes it clear it’s forbidden.”
“It sounds like you are awakening your real self.”
“You’re right. Little snippets of right and wrong are becoming clearer.”
Gaby gazed at him. His wolf shadow even more pronounced. “You don’t need to shift soon, do you?”
“Nah. I can hold out for another day or two. It appears hot sex staves the need.”
“Yeah, right.” She laughed. “In that case, I’m happy to help.”
“I’m serious. After sex, my wolf goes back to his den.”
“Well then, we should get a crate for your wolf.”
“Only if we both fit.”
“How about I find a hotel?”
He chuckled. “I forgot we are still on our honeymoon. Find a bed and breakfast.”
“I’m happy you are so romantic. Is that your wolf or man side?”
“Both. Then again my wolf will do whatever it takes to please his mate.”
