O ld rules were replaced with newer ones. Soon the human followers were outnumbered, and they no longer had a voice. One of our past leaders enacted a rule that cast out all humans, forbidding any relations with them.”
    “Caedmon existence has been kept a secret.”
    “Yes. Over the years, we’ve had groups of wolves branch off to form their own pack, but we Caedmon are still one of the strongest packs around. ”
    “I would like to know more. Tell me something else about them. ”
    “We’re both tired, Selene.” Nick moved closer to her until their bodies were touching. He felt extremely warm as he sl id his arms over her shoulders.
    He was right. She could barely keep her eyes open, but she was still curious about the Caedmon. “I’ll be gone tomorrow. I wan t to know more about the powers. Will you have enough time to tell me before I leave?”
    “Of course.” He spread out another blanket and laid it across them.
    Although Selene was out of her comfort zone and hundreds of miles away from home , she felt safe wit hin this cave and with this man who was also a wolf.
    “Thank you, Nick,” she whispered.
    “For what?”
    “I think you know.”
    He’d saved her and encouraged her to escape when all her hope had faded.

Chapter Eight
     
    Nick slowed his pace as they neared the gas station. A feeling of hopelessness consumed him. Selena had to leave . It would only be best for her. The longer she stayed with him the more he grew on her. Ever since the night she was thrown in the cell with him, his wolf seemed to have complete control over . If he didn’t let her go now, he feared that it would be to late down the road. She’d been thrown into the height of Caedmon Pack rivalry, and suffered at the hands of the man who wanted to see a legacy destroyed. Even though she worked with clients whose very lives were literally on the line on a daily basis, he could tell she’d never experienced this level of danger.
    The yello w cab he’d called using the cell in his pack was already parked near the gas pump waiting.
    Selene stopped walking. “I…this is t he same gas station I came to just before my car accident.”
    “It’s the town gas station. The only one for miles.”
    She turned to face him. “Nick, I wish we could have talked more. Not just about your Pack, but about you too.”
    Despite the urgent circumstances, they’d made the best out of a bad situation. He wanted to learn more about her to o , but hated that she would have to bring him into his dysfunctional world to do so. “You have my cell phone number, and I have yours.”
    “You promise to call me?”
    “You know I will.” He stroked the side of her face, and slid his thumb over her dimple. “When things die down here, I’ll be free to roam. There is too much going on in my world right now.”
    “I can only imagine,” she whispered.
    Nick slid his back pack off his shoulder and handed it to her. “What’s left of the freeze dried food…to take back as souvenir. There’s some cash as well in the bottom. ”
    “Thank you.”
    He took her hand and grasped it tighter. Why was this so hard? He’d just met the woman. Barely knew her. Yet, he felt like if he allowed her to ride off into the sunset that his world would come tumbling down around him.
    “Selene, you should go now.”
    “I know.” She loo ked at the cab, and then back at him. “You never told me about your powers.”
    He smiled. “Well then I know you’ll definitely call me.”
    “Not fair,” she teased, and began walking toward the taxi .
    Nick followed. “Be careful, Selene. ” He nodded to the driver, who was an old family friend, then turned back to Selene. “Call me when you reach the train station. As soon as we find your car…if we find it…we’ll
