her head.
Come out and fight, you useless...bird! Chicken! Bawk, bawk , bawk!
But her animal didn't even stir. She felt no change at all in her body. She bit the inside of her cheek hard, hoping that the taste of blood would lure the predator out of her. It didn't work. All she managed to do was make herself even angrier. Why didn't she listen to her instincts? She had felt uneasy around the man, yet she had dismissed her gut feelings and stupidly put herself in danger. And now, even her animal seemed to have abandoned her.
“I'm not a bloody griffin!” Zoe shrieked in desperation. “I'm just not! You're mistaken, Sinclair. I'm not what you think I am.”
Sinclair didn't even turn around. He had his back to her and was watching the shadows intently.
“Hey, I'm talking to you, Sinclair!” she yelled. “Let me go! I can't shift, really I can't. I have never shifted in my life!”
Sinclair didn't appear to be listening to her. He kept absolutely still and kept staring straight ahead.
Sinclair didn't move at all, yet the air around him seemed to be rippling.
Zoe gasped as his body slowly began to grow broader. His black hair turned snowy white and white fur raced up his arms and neck.
There was the sound of snapping bones and Sinclair dropped to his hands. Only they weren't hands any more. They were paws, powerful, massive paws.
Zoe made a strangled sound in her throat, unable to even breathe or blink.
A massive, mammoth white saber-tooth tiger stood before her, snarling and salivating. She'd thought that he would be about the size of an ordinary lion or tiger in his animal form, but he was much larger than that. On all fours, he was almost eye to eye with her.
She heard a roar, and her entire body shuddered.
“No, no, no,” she whispered. “Nick...”
Nick roared again, and she could hear and feel his intense fury and pain. Her mate's explosive emotions slammed through her, and she had to bite back her own anguished cry.
She wanted to scream, but she knew that her scream would only cause Nick to charge heedlessly into danger for her. She wanted him to leave. The monster in front of her could easily take down a bear. Of that she had no doubt.
She saw Sinclair's canines push out further. With a single bite, the saber-tooth tiger could easily tear into a belly and disembowel its enemy with those deadly, saber-like teeth.
Zoe watched Sinclair's long, curved claws glint menacing as he slid silently between the trees. His tail wound around a tree like a snake, and he vanished into the shadows.
Just a flash of white and he was gone.
Zoe could feel her blood pounding in her ears. She had to warn Nick. But how? Time was running out.
Sinclair was already in position, readying for the kill.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Nick bolted from the work site as the guys were packing up. He just drove like a demon, narrowly missing Gramma and Ne-ma who were crossing the street and sped straight out of Shadow Point.
Nick could feel his claws digging into his palms as he let his bear take over. His bear had reared up as soon as it sensed its mate's distress, and the beast was on the verge of ripping out of his skin. Nick maintained his human form, but his senses were now fully feral.
He trusted his bear to find Zoe. A bear could track its mate for miles and it would never give up the search. The mate bond was permanent and unbreakable.
He could feel his mate's panic and pain, and he floored the gas pedal. His bear roared in his head, urging him along the long stretch of highway. The woods flanking the highway grew denser and Nick scanned the trees, sniffing the air for his mate's scent.
He finally caught her scent on the wind, and he immediately stomped on the brakes. His car spun to the side of the road as he charged headlong into the woods, his bear ripping from his skin as he ran.
He could scent her clearly now. But there was someone else with her. Another male, another shifter.
Nick moved swiftly between the
