Maya slammed into his flank with her muzzle, the playful blow knocking him slightly off balance. Her laughter echoed in his mind as she darted away. Try to enjoy yourself for once.She bolted toward the trees, deliberately choosing the path away from the waterfall. Zion let her go, counting slowly in his head as amusement curled warmly through his chest. She liked to think she could outrun him when the truth was far from it. He could catch her whenever he wanted but where was the fun in that?When he finally launched after her, the night air cut past his fur, the scent of water and moonlight thick in his lungs. Run faster, she taunted over her shoulder. You’re slowing down.He allowed the gap between them to stay just wide enough to keep her confident. She curved back toward the cliffs before he realized what she intended.“Maya ”Too late.She leapt.Zion skidded to the edge just in time to see her body twist midair, fur melting into skin as she surrendered to the fall. Fury punched

He hauled her down the corridor and shoved open the bathroom door with his shoulder. The lights flicked on, blinding after the dark. Without warning, he dumped her beneath the showerhead and twisted the handle.Ice-cold water slammed into her body, knocking the breath from her lungs. She screamed as the temperature abruptly shifted, burning hot within seconds. Her skin felt like it was splitting under the shock.“Get your useless fucking asses in here,” Chain barked, his voice cutting through the roar of the water.Panic ripped through her chest. Maya struggled, tried to crawl away, but his grip was iron. Three female wolves rushed into the bathroom, eyes downcast, movements frantic.“Wash her,” Chain ordered. “I want my scent gone. Every trace. But don’t be gentle. Keep the injuries open. I want him to see what I’ve done.” He crouched in front of her, forcing her chin up. The look in his eyes made her stomach twist. Calculation. Cruel amusement. Whatever he was planning, it wasn’t sm

Maya felt the tension ease as the rope around her wrists loosened. For a brief, irrational moment, she wanted to scream at him to stop to leave her where she was, frozen and half-dead beneath the tree. That would have been easier. Dying alone felt less cruel than what she was meant to do.But no sound came.His scent wrapped around her, warm and grounding, cutting through the terror that had lived in her bones for days. It made her chest ache. Her hands were still bound close together, limiting her ability to strike or shove him away, though she doubted she had the strength left to do either.She didn’t want his help.Chain wanted her to destroy this man this alpha who smelled of safety and strength and things she didn’t deserve.“Easy,” he murmured. “I’ve got you. I’ll get you out of here.”The rope finally fell away from her wrists. Whatever strength she’d been holding onto vanished instantly. Her knees buckled, and she collapsed forward, straight into his arms. She didn’t remember

He ignored the shouting behind him, heading toward the kitchen.Several pack members asked him about their new arrival. To each person he gave a new update, being calm with each of them. Pouring out two bowlfuls of soup, he crumbled some bread into each and then headed back up to the bedroom where he’d put her.Opening the door, Zion was brought up short by what he saw. The woman, name unknown, was standing, looking out of the window. She held onto the frame, and he knew she intended to jump. Placing the bowls on the nearest counter, he walked toward her, needing to get her to see him.“Don’t jump,” he said, reaching out.She jerked, looking at him.“I’ve got to jump.”Her voice was scratchy but healing up nicely. Zion loved the sound of her voice. He felt the wolf within him growl, wanting to get closer to the female.Don’t make her jump.The last thing Zion wanted to do was make her jump.“No, you don’t have to jump at all. I know what has happened to you is horrible, and I’ll fight

“Can you tell me his name? I can make him pay for everything, Maya. I promise you.”She shook her head. “I can’t do it. I’m so sorry.”Maya pulled away from him and took off. She heard him following her, but she needed to get away and start life once again. Maya needed to put Chain behind her.“Maya, wait.”Running was what she needed to do to clear her head. She didn’t turn into her wolf form. She ran to escape the problems clawing at her. Maya didn’t watch where she was going, and then she felt arms wrap around her waist.Fighting against the hold, she was pressed to the floor, rolled over, and her arms held above her head.“I’m never going to hurt you,” he said.Tears ran down her cheeks as he held her still.“I’m a horrible person,” she said, whispering the words so only he could hear. They were alone together outside, but she felt like everyone was watching them, waiting for something to happen.“No, you’re not. Let’s agree to not talk about your pack and your past.”“You’d do th
