“Remember, the shadows are watching you!” I shouted in her wake,

probably a little over-dramatically. Maybe I was drunk with power, but I

responsible for the successive chain of shit that has happened to me. And

your pack.”

He was silent for a time as he studied my face. “You did well. Good

work.”

A shiver of delight ran down my spine, and my heart began to glow. His

low, rich voice brushed against my nerve endings and made my skin pebble.

By his scent, I could tell he meant it. That he was turned on by my

confidence.
