the lights, and opened the door into the night.

Liam
    I reached the house and, seeing that the lights were on, let out a sigh of relief. If they were still here they would be hard pressed to get to the nearest sacred site before the coming full moon.
    They’d be harder pressed with my interference.
    A figure moved into view in one of the windows. It was her. She seemed to be washing something just out of sight.
    Lust rose within me as I watched her, not even bothering to hide myself though I was fully visible in the bright moonlight. I could just make out the soft curves of her lush body, so different from the hard planes and angles of the typical shifter.
    And her emotions.
    I  had no idea what could cause someone to have so many emotions boiling so close to the surface, but it was an alluring bouquet I had never experienced before. I felt myself growling hungrily and took a step towards the door.
    This is a distraction I can’t afford. The thought didn’t stop me from taking another step forward. I need to focus... Another step.
    The door opened and she stepped out, seeing me immediately. She gasped and dropped her keys. Adorable.
    “Liam! I was just trying to think of how to find you, do you know where Kris went?”
    “She’s not here with you?” I blinked, realization setting in. Oh no, they’ve already left.
    “No, I don’t think they came back after the park.” Her eyes found mine, pure brown beautiful pools that pulled at me with their depths. How willing I’d be to drown in them. “Liam, what’s going on? I feel like something important is happening that you guys aren’t telling me.” Her voice held a hint of concern, her scent was livid with it.
    “My sister is planning to violate our laws and bond a mate. She hasn’t even asked the elders for permission, knowing she wouldn’t get it. She will be exiled from our pack and clan. Possibly even from the entire tribe if the elders determine her transgression warrants it.”
    “Bond a mate? Exiled from a pack? I don’t understand...” Her stare grew more intense, pulling me further under her power. “Liam, are you making fun of me? What the fuck!”
    I turned away from her, her anger, and the desire she inspired. “There is no time to explain. I must reach them and stop this from happening. They are far ahead of me now, but I may still be able to catch them before the full moon if I push myself.” I began jogging away, planning my route. My chances to stop them in time had dropped drastically.
    “Wait!”
    I began running.

Chapter Eight
    Jen
    A s I watched him running off, my mind raced. I had no idea what was going on and the only one who did was growing more and more distant with each indecisive second. I raced back into Kris’s apartment to grab a few things. Snacks, water bottles, a blanket. I had no idea what I was doing but hell, it sounded like Liam needed to get somewhere, and fast. Somewhere to help Kris.
    What else do I need?
    I rummaged through closets and drawers as quickly as I could, finding a flashlight and, thankfully, a backpack to shove everything into.
    This will have to do. I need to catch up to Liam before I can’t find him.
    My small bundle together, I slung the backpack over a shoulder and ran to my car. Tossing everything into the back seat I nearly dropped my keys again in my haste. “Focus, focus.”
    I managed to get the car started in spite of myself and drove off after Liam. When he had started running it looked like he was heading towards the main road, so I headed that way as well, mind still racing.
    Before the full moon. What was that about? I had no idea when that was, I had never paid much attention to the lunar cycles, but I was getting the impression that this one was close. Very close.
    Minutes passed with no sign of him. Wondering if I had been mistaken, on the verge of turning around, I spotted him.
    Still running.
    Marveling at his stamina, and blushing slightly at the stray thought of testing it in
