at his watch.  He couldn’t possibly have known what she did about the watch, but his suspicion was evident. 
    She needed to get out of there and find Gunner, she would tell him what she knew and then they could work out what to do next together.  She mumbled an excuse and headed for the door, but the suspicious wolf was already upon her.
    With a strangled yelp, she was dragged to the floor, and the young wolf shifter was upon her, his strong hands wrapped around her neck.  She tried clawing and scratching at his arms; she tried kicking her legs, but it was all to no avail.  He was too strong.  This was it; she was going to die at the hands of an adolescent wolf on her first day of work.  Vaguely, she wondered whether Gunner would come to her funeral.
    But, no, wait, she was saved!
    A huge roar shook the entire frame of the McMansion.  The boy trying to squeeze the life out of her howled and leaped away from her.  She coughed and spluttered as she tried to suck air into her deprived lungs.
    Her vision swam as an angel appeared before her.  He had pale blonde hair, startling pale blue eyes and the most ruggedly handsome face she ever saw.  Why was the angel yelling at her?
    “Erin!  For fucks sake!”
    Oh, her angel was Gunner.  And boy did he look pissed.
    Carefully, he pulled her body up and propped her against a muscled arm.  She coughed and buried her face in his shoulder.  Yes, this was nice, this felt right.  Oh, she could just fall asleep right here in the arms of this gorgeous man.
    No, her conscience screamed, what about Hilda? 
    Erin snapped her eyes open to see the fury and concern marring Gunner’s handsome features.  “That boy,” she croaked, “he killed Hilda.”
    Gunner stiffened and flicked his eyes in the direction that the wolf had disappeared.  He was torn between staying with her and going after him.  She made the choice easy when she rasped at him to go.
    “Stay here,” he ordered and stormed through the house, raising his gun.
    Like she had a choice.  Ooh, look, Gunner remembered to bring his gun.
    Erin dozed with her head lolling against a kitchen cabinet.  Ugh, so tired .  Her eyes lifted as she heard the startling crunch of metal followed by screams and shouts.  At that point, she gave up and fainted.
     

Chapter Four
    Beep… beep… Paging Doctor Smyth to the obstetrics ward… beep… beep…
    Erin blinked awake and then immediately regretted it.  Her head hurt like a bitch.  What the heck?
    Sterile white walls, crisp, itchy linen, disgusting bleach smell – oh she was in a hospital .  She had to get out of there, pronto.
    She sat up and tried to will her sluggish limbs to move.  Why was everything so hard?   She needed to get out of there; she didn’t want to spend another second in a hospital.  She swung her legs off the bed, and they immediately crumpled beneath her.  Instead of hitting the ground, she found herself gripped by two, warm, comforting arms.  Oh, no…
    “Just take it easy,” murmured Gunner.
    “You take it easy,” she grumbled.
    She looked up to see surprise on his face; he wasn’t expecting that – admittedly lame – sass.  She couldn’t tell whether it was amusement or annoyance twitching at his lips.
    “For my sake, take it easy.”
    He lifted her back on the bed as if she weighed nothing more than a bag of potato chips.  And she knew she weighed substantially more than that.
    Erin patted her hands over her clothes.  At least she’d been allowed to keep them.  No embarrassing opportunities to flash her sizable rear in an unflattering, backless hospital gown.
    Gingerly she rubbed her raw neck.  Darn wolf shifter .  Gunner’s eyes were hooded, and he folded his huge arms over his chest.  Damn, sexy polar bear .
    “What happened?” she asked uncertainly, trying to distract the more libidinous portion of her brain.  Fat chance…
    “Where was your gun, Erin?”
    She frowned as he avoided her question.  “It was in my
