smiled at them and they smiled back.
She walked by the horses tethered to a makeshift corral and saw her black steed and Ariel's Shetland resting comfortably.
All seemed to be fine, except her.
She couldn't stop thinking about Vasilis and his kiss. Her stomach jolted. He'd opened a door to her heart she never thought existed and for the first time in her life, she didn't feel in control.
A part of her wanted to stay away from him and another part of her wanted to desperately explore the treacherous way her body behaved around him.
One thing she knew for certain--he was as attracted to her as she was to him, but could she trust him? He said there hadn't been any women since he met her. Could she believe him?
She wanted to believe him and…she wanted him to kiss her again. Her face flushed with heat. She pictured them lying on a bed, naked, male flesh against female flesh, his hands trailing a hot path over her body, his mouth on her breasts.
She felt her heart stop. Oh God, she had to stop this crazy fantasy. She had to put him out of her mind because falling for him would only bring her heartache.
She walked further along the campsite until she came to the outer rim. She paused and looked across the dry landscape. The sun was almost below the horizon and the guards had already lit the fires along the camp, but beyond that, there was only darkness.
She frowned. What was that?
She heard it again. It almost sounded like a stampede in the distance where the darkness lay. She frowned again. It was getting closer.
Alex gasped. This time she clearly heard it. A mixture of howling and growling up ahead. It sounded like a pack of wolves!
She spun around and saw all the guards had sprung to their feet, staring ahead into the darkness. Something about them scared her. It was their expressions. They didn't appear to be afraid. They looked predatory, wild.
She saw Vasilis run out of his tent and look ahead into the darkness. What she witnessed next defied belief. She stood there, stunned as she watched Vasilis clench his fists at his sides, his legs apart and raise his head to the heavens. The howl he released from his chest was deafening, eerie, animal.
Alex heard the sound of the wolves behind her getting closer, but she couldn't move. She stared at Vasilis, her mouth agape. His body appeared to be growing right before her eyes and as it grew, his clothes ripped from his expanding flesh, leaving only a black short covering over his loins.
His gaze snapped to hers and she jumped back in fright. He was a Lycan! Hiroshi was right. They did exist!
She then screamed as she watched in horrified fascination as all the guards around her shifted into their Lycan or wolf forms. Vasilis vaulted through the air and landed in front of her. Stunned, she craned her neck way up to look at his face. His nine-foot frame towered over her, his amber coloured eyes staring down at her. She couldn't move as she stared at his jowls, his brows meeting at the bridge of his nose, his long menacing incisors that looked like they could slice a boulder. His body! My God, his body had expanded by a foot all around in pure muscle. She was terrified.
He reached down and took her by the shoulders, his touch surprisingly gentle considering the ferocity of his appearance.
"Hide in your tent," he growled in an inhuman voice.
"You're…you're a…" She couldn't breathe.
"Go, dammit. They're almost here." He shook her gently. "They smell the little one!"
Alex gasped. Ariel! Without another thought, she ran back to her tent, glancing back to see the guards, a mixture of Lycans and massive wolves, lining themselves along the camp's perimeter. They were in direct line of the pack of wolves speeding toward them. Vasilis sprung in the air, over their heads and landed at the front of his Lycan guards who carried their swords and bows.
This wasn't happening, she thought wildly as she reached her tent and threw back the flap. She fell inside, gasping as she saw
