out, he had to have her for himself. He wooed her away from me, using his alpha charm. When he was finished with her… with Kayla, she was a shell of the woman I knew. I promised myself I wouldn’t let that happen to anyone else. Please pack your bags. We need to go.”
“We?” Astrid asked, quirking her brow at him.
“I know how Killian thinks. I know where we can go,” Kendrick offered. I don’t want her to leave. If we part now, I may never see her again. He held his breath, waiting for her answer.
Astrid regarded him for a long moment. “Okay,” she whispered.
CHAPTER FOUR
“I don’t understand why we are going back to Oregon?” Astrid voiced her concerns as she reluctantly settled into her first class seat. Why were they going back to the state their pack lived in?
“Killian is less likely to look close to home. Only a fool would come so close to the pack they’re running from,” Kendrick explained.
Astrid swallowed hard, fighting the urge to rip her seat belt off and bolt off the plane before it took flight. What if he was playing her? What if this was all a game?
Kendrick laid his hand over top hers. “I promise, I won’t let him find you . . . us. He’s hurt me too.”
Honesty swirled in his brown gaze. I believe him. She couldn’t explain why—she just did.
“Besides, we’re not staying in Oregon. We’ll be renting a car and hightailing it out of there,” he grinned at her.
Astrid nodded. Good. She didn’t want to stay in that state any longer than necessary. In a way, she could see what he said made sense. Killian would never suspect they’d fly right onto his doorstep.
“I was thinking we’d check out the east coast. It’d be a good place to put down roots for a few years. What do you think?” he asked, leaning back into his seat.
Marcia’s in New York. But I can’t put her in danger. Not until I know Killian isn’t following me anymore. Wait? Did he say we? When did they become a we? I kind of like having him around.
She bit her lip as she realized that she didn’t want to lose contact with him. There was something sweet about Kendrick. He was different than the other men she’d dated, and damn it he was attractive. I want him.
“What do you think about New York city? I know its big, but there are still places on the outskirts of the city where we can shift,” Kendrick continued when she didn’t respond.
Astrid sucked in a deep breath. “I’d rather somewhere else. Marcia’s in New York. I don’t want her in danger.”
“Maine? They have great seafood,” Kendrick offered. “I know a great little restaurant,” he paused, meeting her gaze. “I could take you there.”
On a date? She trembled. Say yes , her wolf urged. “Okay,” she agreed.
“Fantastic,” Kendrick smirked. “You’re going to enjoy this I promise.”

Astrid gave herself a final once over before she exited her bathroom. It was silly that she was putting so much effort into this. Kendrick would always be her enemy. The more she thought about her date, the more she realized how wrong she was about him.
He’d been nothing but a gentleman the past week. She had an apartment and a job lead, all thanks to him. Kendrick was going out of his way to make her feel at home in the quaint little town of Brunswick, Maine.
The city was beautiful. It was on the coast and full of fresh air and places to run. Tonight, she would get to see more of the town. Kendrick was taking her on a date to the restaurant he’d mentioned on the plane. Anticipation rolled over her. I can’t remember the last time I was excited about a date.
Giving herself a mental shake and steeling herself for the events of the evening she headed to the front room just as her doorbell rang. A quick glance at her wall clock told her Kendrick was ten minutes early. Points for punctuality.
Astrid inhaled sharply and then opened the door. He looks good. She bit her lip, in an effort to keep her wayward thoughts at bay. His
