Chapter Eight

Darrell hung out with Blain and Ian as Pallas dropped his latest bomb. He glanced at them. “Did he just say shift?”

Ian scratched his head. “Did he just volunteer me to drive six hours after all this running and shit?”

Blain stripped. “I wonder who the back-up is if you’re one of the last ten.”

Clapping Blain on the back. Ian smirked. “Not you.”

Darrell scanned the crowd. Julia already had undressed to her underwear.

She met his stare and shook her ass.

His mouth went dry as his wolf tore free of his control. It wanted to rip out every male’s eyes.

“Hey man, it’s easier if you take off all your clothes before you start shifting.” Ian looked puzzled.

“His wolf has been all over the place since he’s been courting Julia,” Blain explained. “I smelled it surface frequently the last few days.”

With a snarl, Darrell yanked his worn sweater over his head. He tossed his clothes onto a pile Blain and Ian had started. Sneakers, socks, jeans—fur already pricked through his skin as Darrell let his wolf out to compete. The animal was more aggressive than the man. Gram always tried to explain how they were one and the same, but as long as Darrell could remember they never agreed on anything.

Until Julia.

She had to undress to shift. His wolf needed to understand this. She didn’t have to shake her tail for every male to admire though, countered his wolf. Darrell rolled his eyes. She’d done it for them—him. So what? Everyone else saw.

Darrell clapped his hands over his face and accidently scratched his face. Claws had already sprouted from his fingertips. Arguing with his wolf gave him a headache.

Ian rose to his paws. He barked at Darrell.

Releasing the last of his control, he finished the shift in a sudden burst. He landed next to Ian. Running twenty miles in wolf form, no problem. Swimming? He could barely make it as a human. If he wanted to stay, he’d have to make good time during the run and the obstacle course. Oh, and also not drown again.

Ten wolves. That was a quarter of their small pack. He moved through the crowd to Julia’s pale gray wolf. He had to make sure she crossed the finish line with him. Now that he’d found her, nothing was going to take her away.

She ran her delicate muzzle along his and bumped shoulders. Her smell wove around him like a net. Trapped by her lure, he didn’t want to break free. A future without Julia didn’t exist. Now he had to make sure she agreed.

As one, the pack moved to the running trail. After two weeks of jogging along this route on the manor grounds, the dirt had become compact, leaving a clear path. Most of the rocks and branches had been removed.

Ten miles on this track in man form had been challenging. He wouldn’t have been able to do it twice, but as a wolf he could. Darrell clawed the ground. This would be their first time running as a pack.
