Chapter 105

• Darren
• I shifted into my beast as I hunted for my mate. I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I knew I was being pulled to her. I’m not sure why, but I had grabbed Ally’s watch before I left. She usually always had it on her. I guess I felt that this would help me find her. It was strange that I could feel the watch even in my beast form. I felt it pulse heat inside of me as if it were alive, burning me, tethering me … hopefully to her.
• I powered through the forest with a recklessness bordering on feral, eyes fixed forward, nose twitching, ears pricked for any sign of Allissa or her captors. My human thoughts dissolved into my beast’s instincts, into paws hitting earth, earth kicking up behind me, dirt and leaves and clouds of dust. Into love and rage and gnawing, chewing need. Into finding her. Into taking her back.
