with men I can’t have a relationship
with,” Alice told him. She wrapped her fingers around his. “I
. . . feel something for you, when we kiss, and I can’t feel
that.”
    “ Why does it matter what we are? I feel something
too. I felt it when you first turned into a woman. I knew what you
were, and I didn’t care.”
    “ It matters, Alex. My family will never let me be
with you, and yours won’t let you be with me. It’s not
meant to be,” Alice replied sadly. “Aren’t we a
pair? Romeo and Juliet of the supernatural world.”
    He sighed a laugh, smiling only a little. “Just so
you know, I’m not letting this go.”
    Alice tilted her head and frowned at him. “Alex.”
    “ Nope. Not going to let it go. I will for tonight,
but we will discuss this.” He lifted the hand he held and
kissed the back of it. “If I’m feeling something this
powerful, I will not let it go because our families don’t like
each other.”
    “ It’s not just that and you know it,”
Alice reminded him. “We’re different species. We couldn’t
have children.”
    “ I told you we’re dropping it for tonight. I
need to think about all this.” He rose to his feet and pushed
her down onto the pillows. He tucked her in and kissed her forehead.
“Now, you need to rest. I’m going to get a blanket and
sleep right here beside the bed in case you need me.”
    Alice shook her head at him, a smile on her face. She
wanted to talk about it that second, but he wouldn’t let her. Ok, we’ll sleep on it ,
she decided as if it had been her idea.
    “ Good night, Alex,” she said quietly,
looking at him.
    “ Good night, Alice.” He bent at the waist
and kissed her, his tongue probing her mouth until she was regretting
her responsible decision.

    Bud and Mike had deposited Carl at the hospital and
called his wife to let her know he’d been attacked by a wild
animal. She’d been hysterical, of course, and had rushed to his
side, freeing the two men to return to the forest.
    “ Remind me again why we’re going back into a
forest that is crawling with werebears and werewolves,” Mike
asked.
    “ Because I want that wolf. And that bear. They’re
together somewhere. We just have to track them from the clearing,”
Bud replied, focused on the road so he didn’t miss the turn. He
remembered exactly where the clearing was and knew he could track
that damn werewolf with little difficulty, especially if it had saved
the werebear.
    “ It’s getting dark. We won’t be able
to see anything.”
    “ I have spotlights. We can’t let the trail
go cold,” Bud replied.
    “ Hey, listen, man. Let’s go back in the
morning. I don’t want to be out there after dark,” Mike
said. He didn’t like the idea of going back at all, but in the
dark? No thanks.
    “ Don’t be a damn wuss. We’ll follow
the trail and find out where they’re holed up, then go back in
the morning and get them.” Bud wasn’t missing this
opportunity. Two pelts, a werebear and a werewolf, would bring him a
ton of money. He’d give Mike a share, of course; ten percent.
    He turned onto the road and parked close to the trail
they had followed to get back to the truck from the clearing. He
grabbed his gear out of the back, including his gun, a big spotlight,
and a back pack filled with the hunting essentials. Mike gathered his
stuff as well and they headed into the forest.

    Riley and Susan had reached the clearing and returned to
their human form. They could both smell the blood and knew it was
Alice’s. The scents of the poachers was clear, but a third
smell confused them both. They scoured the area for a stronger scent
when Susan yelped.
    “ Riley, get over here!” she shouted. “I
smell something over here I’m not familiar with.”
    Riley walked over, sniffed the area, and jerked back.
The closer smell revealed the distinct stench of a werewolf. He
looked around the area to be sure they were alone.
    “ Susan, keep your eyes open. Alice ran
