Intoxication.”
“Orgasms,” Jane said, her cheeks burning. She and Caleb hadn’t had intercourse, but she had brought him to climax by stroking his cock.
Avery nodded.
Jane still found it difficult to believe she’d seen what she had, but she certainly hadn’t imagined it and she wasn’t dreaming. Caleb had turned into a wolf right before her eyes and, apparently, had done so because the two of them had been messing around. She should have followed her instincts and not gotten intimate with him. None of this would have happened and she would still be ignorant as to the true nature of the three men.
“What's going to happen to me now that I know?” she asked.
Avery nervously rubbed his hands and wouldn’t meet her eyes. “Not sure. You and Caleb...” He released a hard breath. “You two shouldn't have done that. At least not this week. Caleb certainly knew better. But I guess it was bound to happen.”
“Why?”
“Because you like Caleb. Don’t you?”
“Well, I wouldn't exactly say I like him.”
“But you two were—”
“That was more like lust,” she said, interrupting him. “Anyway, if truth be told, I like you better.”
Avery smiled. “Really?”
She nodded, returning his smile. She did like him. Of the three he’d been the nicest and most considerate towards her. “It's just that…” She lowered her head and looked down at her hands where they lay clasped in her lap.
“What?” he gently asked.
She lifted her head and looked over at him. “I get these feelings sometimes. When I’m around men I tend to—”
The front door flew open. Wind and snow swirled in. Everett stomped inside, snow coating his hat and coat. He slammed the door behind him and walked over to Jane and Avery, who both rose from the couch.
“I couldn’t find him,” Everett said, silencing Avery’s questions with a brusque gesture. He took off his hat and coat and gloves, tossing them on a nearby chair. Then he went over to the fire and warmed his hands. As he did so he glared at Jane.
“We have to find him,” Avery said worriedly. “If he’s out there running by himself...”
“I know,” Everett snapped but he was still scowling at Jane.
“Stop looking at me like that,” she said. “I didn't know what the three of you were.”
“But now you do,” Everett said tersely. “And because you do you’re a threat—”
“To the Clan,” she said. “Or what’s left of it. Avery told me all about it.”
Everett shot him Avery an angry look.
“Thought it best to tell her since she.....” He shrugged.
Everett turned away and stared moodily into the fire. “Doesn’t matter anyway.”
Jane didn’t like the sound of that. “What's that supposed to mean?”
“It means you're not leaving.”
“Oh, no, I am so leaving. As soon as the way’s clear back to town. I have a life and I'm going back to it. Even if I did tell someone what I’d seen here do you honestly think anyone would believe me? They'd locked me up in an insane asylum.”
“You'd be surprised what some are willing to believe,” he replied.
“I don’t hang around the kind of people who believe in UFOs or the Loch Ness monster.”
Everett turned back to her and scowled. “None of that is real. We are. And I can't take a chance on letting you leave here knowing what you know about us.”
“I'm not going to stay here. You'll have to kill me first.”
“Don’t' think I haven't thought about it.”
“You don't mean that, Everett.” Avery quickly turned to Jane. “Trust me. He doesn't mean that.”
“He does mean it. He's wanted to kill me since the moment he laid eyes on me.” She glared at Everett. “I'm no threat to you. It's all in your mind.”
“You are a threat,” he said. “Now more than ever.”
Avery moved next to Everett. “We can talk about what we're going to do with Jane later.”
“There's nothing to talk about,” she said. “I'm not staying here.”
Avery ignored her, his attention
