sleeping.”
    “Not until he’s finished with Micah. Wanna take a ride? Get out of the cabin, and the woods, for a bit?”
    Kasa looked up at him, and his heart did a funny little sputter. Damn him to hell, this woman could melt his will with her gaze. Her luscious pink lips twitched, drawing his attention. He wanted to kiss away the doubt that weighed against them. He wanted to tuck her small frame close to his body and shield her from the dangers that hunted her with as much determination as she hunted them.
    Letting his guard down would be easy. With this particular wolf, that was dangerous.
    “Sure,” she sighed in resignation.
    “Great. I’m gonna wash up real quick. If you’re changing, better get to it. Micah’s waiting on your brother. Then we’re off.”
    Slade couldn’t shake the unnerved energy that settled around them. The vixen was certainly stewing up something. The vibes ebbed and flowed, a gentle lapping of electric currents that caressed his spirit more than alerted it. He’d just have to keep a close eye on her until they took care of the Dark Moon problem.
    That, too, nagged at him. He and Micah went to great lengths to obscure their scents while masking Kasa’s all together. Still, something whispered of a lurking threat. As crisp and cold as it was outside, a dense heaviness hovered in the air, pressing down around him.
    He eyed the plate of eggs and snatched up a piece of greasy bacon. The bedroom door clicked shut, signaling that Kasa was indeed getting changed. Good. He wasn’t about to leave her here to mull about the forest on her own. Spirits only knew what trouble she’d find herself in. Or, what he’d be pulling her out of.
    “Bro, coming?” Micah asked. Slade finished the piece of bacon and went into the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water, washing away desires from his mind and instantly easing the pressure in his cock. Kasa had a dueling effect on him. He thoroughly enjoyed her spunk and fire, but her stubborn streak to remain independent hardened his resolve. He might end up having to leave that to Micah’s skill to handle.
    “We’ll be out in a minute. She’s getting changed.” An exasperated groan filled his head and he chuckled. “And it’s not for the reasons you’re thinking. Nice try.”
    “ Well, your dick hasn’t been at rest for some time now. I can imagine you impaling her any chance you get.”
    “Nah. Not this morning. She went all stubborn white on me.”
    “If she’s anything like her brother, we’re gonna have our hands full with this one.” Micah’s quiet laughter echoed along their link. “Should bar the windows and doors.”
    “Hell no. I’d much rather keep her bed-bound.”
    “Hear you on that.”

    The sharp clap of footsteps echoed down the cavernous passageway, accompanied by harsh whispers and hushed demands. Eva ran her hand over the bloodied silver barbs at the end of the whip and cocked her head. The pathetic specimen dangling by iron shackles in front of her whimpered and moaned, distorting the quiet conversation quickly approaching the room.
    “Shut up, pup,” Eva warned, snapping the whip against the stone floor. The deafening crack silenced her victim long enough for her to catch a crucial snip of the conversation. A small grin tugged at her mouth. With energy renewed, she stepped back, raised the whip, and slashed it across the were’s bared and tattered back. The man howled, his agony music to her ears. Fresh blood poured from deep gouges in his ruined flesh and filled her nostrils with the sweet scent of power. Ahh, yes. She loved the sound of a man’s weakness, the moment she knew she had complete control over him. Her breasts grew heavy and her nipples hardened against the light fabric of her sheath. Her pussy throbbed.
    Sadistic bitch or not, she was turned on to high heat and wanted more. This was her pleasure. The moment she broke the man and had him at her mercy.
