Shannon.
    They let her out of the hospital a couple of hours after Hesketh and Kinsey were arrested, and I had to be more careful than ever when I hugged her. Even restrained wolf-strength was a threat to those cracked ribs.
    “If you were a wolf, you’d be healed already,” I murmured to her, kissing her throat. For a perilous second, I almost understood Kinsey’s motives. I dismissed the thought as soon as it came.
    Shannon brushed my hair from my face, examining the cuts and bruises I’d picked up in my fight with Hesketh .

    nowing what had happened didn’t help Chris and Vivian. It didn’t help me.
    I gave the wolf strap to them and they burnt it. Nothing more was said. I suppose there wasn’t anything to say.
    I took Shannon to meet my parents.
    I also took Vince, Joel, and Glory as backup. There were a few awkward silences as my parents took in Glory’s hot-pink mini-dress, then Mum asked her where she got her gorgeous gold shoes from, and suddenly it was like we’d been doing this for years.
    Tension eased out of me second by second as Shannon and Dad chatted about her work, and Glory and Mum discussed boutiques and costume jewelry over roast beef and vegetables. It was homely. Comfortable.
    Next to me, Vince patted my knee and winked at me.
    I smiled back, a warm glow settling over me. Shannon caught my eye and blew me a kiss that wafted to me on the scent of jasmine and sandalwood. For the first time since the plane had touched down, my wolf and I felt just fine.
