KASMINE.

My legs propelled me before my brain had the time to think. I ran as fast as I could into the crowd.

All I could feel was him. That magnetic, horrifying pull closing in like a vice around my ribs.

I reached for Jake and pulled him by his arm. He was the closest person I could find. Claire was nowhere to be found.

Jake. Jake. Come." I couldn't even form the words I wanted to say.

"What-babe, what's going on?" he stammered, confused, half-turning toward me.

I didn't answer. I just yanked him with everything I had, dragging him out of the crowd and into the parking lot like the devil himself was behind us.

Because he was.

I felt Kester's presence closing in on us like smoke. It was so fast that my heart almost jumped out of my mouth.

His scent grew stronger, too. And it was mixed with fury and danger,

Panic clawed up my throat.

"Jake!" I practically threw myself into the passenger seat of his car-the old, beat- up piece of junk his uncle barely lets him drive. I didn't care. I slammed the door shut like it might keep a monster out

"Drive! Just drive!" I screamed.

Jake's hands were shaking as he fumbled the keys, his heart pounding so loudly that I could hear it. "Okay-okay, okay, okay," he muttered, more to himself than to me.

The engine coughed, then roared to life. Tires screeched as he yanked the car out of the lot and out of the compound and sped off. "What the hell, Kasmine? You scared the shit out of me."

I twisted in my seat, staring out the rear windshield, expecting to see a blur of black fur and death crashing toward us.

I knew him.

He wouldn't just let me leave.

If he shifted-if that hulking black wolf of his came for us-he'd catch up in seconds. And then what? Rip Jake apart? Drag me back by my hair?

"Where are we going? What's wrong? Are you fine?" Jake asked, panic threading through his nervous words.

Poor Jake. Always caught in the wreckage of my life.
