ANN POV

My eyes dart to the chocolate beauty once again and my stomach twists.

She hasn't said a word to me in the four days I have had to stay here, but she has thrown some dirty looks my way. Now we are in the kitchen alone. I know Finley is about to come strolling into the kitchen. He is due for his patrol shift with Mike, but the seconds seem to be dragging so I keep sending her secret looks.

She looks gorgeous as usual in her black workout shorts and a simple T-shirt. She has her thick curly hair tied up so her graceful neck is on full display. Her face is free of makeup, but her skin looks airbrushed it is so flawless. In comparison, I feel unattractive in my green scrubs with my long brown hair in a low bun. I have a little bit of makeup on, mascara and eyebrows nothing heavy... but I feel overdone and fake standing next to her.

Before she can spot me staring at her I force myself to refocus on my mug of coffee. I don't want to add additional tension by getting caught w

    ANN POV My panties go flying next and a small squeal leaves my mouth as Finley moves me to my back. "You are perfect," Finley says as he positions himself in between my thighs with his eyes fixed on my wet heat. I don't respond. I am practically fidgeting with anticipation. Every time Finley has gotten between my legs, I have had earth-shattering sex that has left me weak. "I want you for life, Ann. I want to be yours," Finley says instead of latching onto my clit. His brown eyes lock onto my face and my heart shutters. He looks so open and vulnerable, which clashes with his muscular physique. "I want that too," I whisper and he smiles before lightly grazing my swollen clit with his rough knuckle. "I want to mark you, Ann. I want every shifter to know that you are mine, and I am yours," he says, and I suddenly realize where he is going with this conversation. He wants us to mate. He wants us to be married by shifter law. He wants to bite me and mark me as his. The t

    ANN POV My eyelids flutter open as I feel something brush against my neck. "There you are. I was starting to get worried," Finley says as I groggily look over to see him lying next to me, smiling. "What time is it," I ask as I attempt to sit up in his soft bed with one arm. He doesn't answer me right away; instead, he watches me intently as if he is ready to help move my body himself if my good arm gives out. "10pm. I have your dinner in the mini-fridge," he says once I get propped up against the headboard. My eyes widen and he smiles again. "Like I said I was worried, but I also understand. You went through a lot," he says before moving to sit next to me. "My body still feels like I could sleep more," I admit and he nods. "You can go back to sleep once you eat. You were moaning in your sleep and you kept holding your arm like it was hurting you... The doctor sent you home with some pain medicine, but she said you shouldn't take it on an empty stomach. I will heat you

    FINLEY POV "Ann, you big dummy," Claire gasps before she dashes towards her injured friend. I grin as I watch the women hug one another. Ann's blue cast goes clean up to her bicep, she hasn't had any sleep, and she is still shaken up, but she is still hugging and consoling her uninjured friend as soon as she returns home. She is truly an angel. "I know. I know. I am okay though. Finley got him away from me before anything really bad could happen," Ann says and Claire just squeezes her tighter. "I wouldn't know what to do if I had lost you," Claire says before sniffling and Ann begins to pat Claire's back with her good hand. "Shh, don't get me worked up. I had to be sedated when I faced the fact I was almost murdered. I don't think I can handle another cry fest," Ann says and Claire withdraws. She steps back and wipes her face as Lewis moves beside her. He wraps a hand around her waist while offering Ann a warm smile. "Happy to have you back home," Lewis says and Ann smiles b

    FINLEY POV I have never been this angry and disappointed in Ann before. She has always been a calm reasonable woman who I could trust to make good decisions. But tonight she broke the trust I had in her. "Hey, I am about to head out," Lewis says as he sees me stomp back into the waiting room. "Good. Go," I snap and he looks at me as if I have grown three heads. "What the hell is your problem? Did Ann tell you to come back out here," he asks and I run my hand through my hair. The angry words I spoke to her come back in waves as I think of what to say to him and my stomach tightens. I shouldn't have cussed at her, but I was so mad. I am still mad. Everything about the past 4 hours has been wrong and unfair. "No. I blew up at her for coming to the house. Claire warned her and she still came... I said some hurtful things," I explain in a low voice. Shame is beginning to ease my anger toward her. I already lost someone important today and I just treated Ann like crap. I can't

    ANN POV "Your ulna is snapped clean in half and your radius has a bad fracture. You are going to need a cast, Ann," Neata says as she looks over my x-ray. I nod and try to keep from tearing up again. I have cried enough today. I knew the bone had a clean break, but hearing her say it makes it so final. Alpha Hugh was strong enough to snap my arm without exerting much effort and that fact is terrifying. Shifters look so normal, but they aren't. They are unnaturally strong. I should have listened to Claire. I should have stayed away from the house. Now all I can think about is how easy it would be for Fin or one of the others to hurt me. "So you are friends with shifters... and there was an attack that you got caught in the middle of," Neata asks critically as she steps away from the x-ray and takes a seat on the stool. "Yes. I know how that sounds, but they are real trust me. Members of their high council should be showing up to go over what happened at Gray Ranch and my injuries

    FINLEY POV Her tears and fear are the only things I can focus on as I run full speed at his back. If he thinks for one second he can take someone else from me he is wrong. I will kill him right here and now. When I get about five feet from him I launch myself into the air.He is so focused on his brief moment of control that he hasn't smelled or heard me coming straight at him. I open my jaw wide and aim directly at his neck. I need to kill him instantly. He has Ann in his arms. I can't risk him hurting her. As my teeth sink into his flesh I allow every feeling of sorrow and rage I felt racing here come pouring out of me. I clamp down on his spine and snap it in half with one clean bite. I dig my claws into his back and tear his skin open. As his body falls to the earth, limp and useless, I attack it. I rip it open with my canines and claw it open with my paws. I know he is dead, but the fact he took Darcy's life and was threatening Ann's has me seeing red. My wolf spirit and my
