glasses and clutched the armrests. His gaze appeared to be glued to the screen.
“Did you enjoy the movie?” she asked.
“I don’t really know.”
Haven reached over and took off Ketah’s glasses. “You don’t need to wear these anymore.” She’d already removed hers. “Why aren’t you sure?”
“It looked so real. I felt as if I was really there.”
She chuckled. “That’s what it’s supposed to be like. A 3D, three dimensional, movie lets you feel as if it’s happening right in front of you, not like regular 2D.”
“Well, I’ll skip on seeing any more 3D movies for a while. I don’t think my heart will be able to stand it.”
“That’s the part I like. The rush I get from thinking I’m right in the middle of the action.”
They stood and filed out of the theater with everyone else. Outside, it was still sunny, even though it was the middle of the evening. A typical Alaskan summer night. Haven let Ketah take her hand as they walked to where he’d parked his crossover. Now that the movie was over and she was no longer entertained by his reactions to it, she became aware of Ketah as a man she was extremely attracted to. She wasn’t ready to see the evening end.
At the crossover, Ketah pulled her to a stop once they reached the passenger side. He tugged her close so they were chest to chest and kissed her. It was another one of his toe-curling lip locks that left her breathless. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. If they hadn’t been out in public, Haven was pretty sure she wouldn’t have stopped Ketah if he’d wanted to take their embrace to the next level.
And riding that wave of desire, she blurted out once he released her lips, “When you drop me off, you can come in.”
Ketah smiled, turning his already handsome face even handsomer. “I’d like that.”
He unlocked the car door for her and held it open as she slipped inside. After he shut it, she watched him walk around to the driver’s side. She’d see where the night led, and hope like hell she wasn’t making the biggest mistake of her life.

Tanner watched the crossover that one of the wolf brothers drove as it pulled out of the parking lot. He couldn’t believe his luck. He sat in his car across the street and just happened to look toward the movie theater. Seeing Ketah walking hand in hand with a mortal woman hadn’t been what he’d expected to find. Tanner had been hoping to meet up with a lone wolf who had recently come to Juneau, to bring him to Andre to become another new member of their dark wolf pack.
But he’d seen something even better. Ketah had swept the mortal woman up into an intimate embrace and kissed her in the parking lot for all to see. She had to be Ketah’s mate. Whether the wolf brother had claimed her or not didn’t matter. The big thing was who she was to Ketah. She’d make an excellent tool to be used against the werewolf sentinel.
Tanner started his car and followed the crossover, but not too closely that Ketah would notice he was being tailed. He was surprised the wolf brother even knew how to drive, considering it had only been a year since Ketah had wakened from his long slumber. Obviously, he’d taken to the modern age very well.
He slowed his car and pulled to the side of the street as Ketah drove into the driveway of a small two-story house. Tanner then watched the wolf brother and the woman walk up to the front door. It was the mortal who unlocked it, which made him think Ketah hadn’t claimed her yet. If he had she would have been living with her mate in the big house where all the werewolf sentinels lived.
After making note of the street and house number, Tanner eased back onto the road and drove away. He’d have to tell Andre what he found. His maker would be very pleased, and would more than likely order the mortal to be watched. Tanner would volunteer for the job. He didn’t want to take the chance that one of the newer members of the pack
