“Why do you have to be so stubborn?” I ask as I’m speeding down the
street.
“Take me home.”
She has to be kidding. “He knows where you live. I can’t do that.”
She hits the button for the locks. “Take me home or let me out. Either
way I’m not going with you.”
I just saved her life and she’s still mad at me. “I’m not leaving you!
If I take you home, he’ll show up there and that will put you and your aunt in
danger. I can’t just let you get out because he would grab you off the street
and then I would have to hunt him down and…hurt him.”
She starts crying again. “Please just let me out. I need to go home.
Stop the car!” She tries to open the door but I manage to stop her.
“Are you crazy? I am not letting you jump out of a car that’s going 70
miles an hour.”
She starts hitting me and shouting. “Let me out! I need to go home.
Just let me out.”
I wrap my free arm around her and hold her tight as she pounds her fist
against my chest. She screams into my arm.
I pull off the road. “Sara, I know this is confusing. I can’t let him
hurt you. He wants to hurt you because of me. Originally he just wanted to take
you, but now since I’ve been keeping him away from you, he’s decided that it’s
personal. He wants me to suffer.” She quits fighting and I let up on my grip.
“If I let go, are you going to try to run again?” She looks away from me.
“Sara. I can’t let you go. Not until I know that you’re not gonna try to jump
out of the car.”
She looks down. “I promise I will not try to jump out of the car.”
I try to search her eyes but she still won’t look at me. I let go of
her and put both hands back on the steering wheel. I put the car in drive and
she throws the door open. Crap!
“Sara, stop.” I grab her jacket to stop her, but she slips it off. I
jump out of the car. She looks back as she’s running away. She’s afraid of me
stopping her.
I hear a vehicle coming. I run toward her. I smell him. She stops and
starts waving her hands at the vehicle as it approaches. She doesn’t realize
that it’s Bane coming after us. He pulls over and gets out. She sees him and
looks at me. I’m not close enough to get between them. He turns to me and
smiles. I can’t wait. I jump into the air as I’m running toward him and when I
land I’m a wolf.
I run faster and he starts to transform. I give Sara a look that says
get back to the car and she doesn’t move until I’m between them. He was fully
transformed now. He darts toward her and I grab his leg in my jaw. I toss him
back toward his vehicle and Sara starts running for the car. He darts for her
again but I jump in the way.
He tears into my neck. I let out a, “YELP!” Sara turns around as she
reaches the car door. She winces as she sees me trying to shake him off. I get
my legs pushed around where I can kick him off. Sara is still just standing
there. I jump up and run to the car. I push on her leg with my head and turn
back to where I threw him.
He’s already running at us again and I charge him at the same time. We
jump up as we reach each other and I grab a hold of his ear. “YELP!”
I growl as I pull on his ear shaking his head. Sara gets in the car and
I hear the locks engage. I know she is safe now and I can concentrate. I bite
his front paw and swing him around. He hits his SUV. He starts to get up but
I’m already there. I tear into his side and then bite another paw. I push him
into his SUV hard. I repeat it two more times.
He tries to stand but can’t. I grab hold of the scruff of his neck to
throw him again and Sara screams, “Damian stop!”
I let him go. He won’t come after us again tonight. He’s hurt too badly.
I limp back to my car and begin to change back. I watch him as I do to make
sure he isn’t faking.
Sara unlocks and opens my door. She pulls me in gently and relocks the
doors. She won’t look at me. I don’t blame her. I transform and tell her,
