body too newly healed.
    Exhausted, she pulled herself to her feet and padded up the stairs to the deck. In a fluid motion, as if she’d shifted for years, she regained her human form and picked up the sarong she’d left the night before. She wrapped it lightly around her torso.
    Her hair fell forward. She reached up to push it out of her eyes and realized it now cascaded in loose, corkscrew curls to her shoulders. Her hand paused over the unfamiliar texture. Gone was the short, coarse, tightly kinked hair she’d known all her life.
    Her laughter sounded shaky even to her own ears and she knew her smile was just as wobbly. “Well, I guess this explains why I can’t keep a braid ‘do for any length of time. They keep working themselves loose. It must be the wolf in me.” She bit her lips and blinked back the tears that filled her eyes. Everything was changing… her body, her mind, even her hair. It was too much, too intense. Too fast.
    She took a deep breath and stared solemnly at Alexandria, Stefan and Anton, not even sure where to begin. “Thank you. Thank you all for something more amazing than anything I ever imagined. It’s going to take me awhile before I can really accept what has happened here tonight. I need to shower, now, and sleep. I want to replay every second of the night.” She started to leave, then turned around, grinning. “And I wanna do it again, okay?”
    Anton shifted and raced up the stairs. He grabbed her hands in his and held them firmly. “Are you okay? We didn’t mean to upset you. Our feelings for one another are so natural, so much a part of who we are… I didn’t think. The last thing I want to do is make you feel uncomfortable.”
    Keisha laughed and slowly looked him up and down. His body was streaked in mud and wet grass, his cock partially erect and jutting out from its nest of dark hair. He was masculinity incarnate, so beautiful she wanted to touch him.
    When she was ready.
    “Yesterday, seeing you like this would have terrified me. Today it makes me miss what I’m not quite ready for. You’re not making me uncomfortable, Anton. You’re helping me feel again.” She cupped the side of his face in her palm. “Give me time, please? Just a little bit of time.”
    He leaned over and placed a very chaste kiss on the side of her face. “For you, anything. Good night, Keisha. Sleep well.”
    Keisha left Anton standing on the deck and went straight into the bathroom. Smiling, she turned on the shower and stepped beneath the spray. Her cheek still tingled from the tender brush of his lips.

 
     
     
    Chapter 5
     
    The sun was just peeking over the mountains when Keisha finally crawled between the cool sheets. Her room was off by itself, a beautiful space of peace and quiet with a huge window and a view of the forest.
    She still couldn’t believe she’d run through that forest, keeping pace with three beautiful wolves, their sleek coats rippling, tongues lolling between powerful jaws. She missed the feeling now, the sense of family she’d shared from the moment she became the wolf. Sighing quietly, snuggling into the thick down comforter, she let her mind drift, searching for Anton’s already familiar touch.
    She found him, his mind seeking hers much as she sought his. The realization that he looked for her made her smile.
    Where are you? Would he answer?
    I’m getting into bed. We ran far last night and I’m tired.
    Are you alone? Now, why would she ask that?
    There was a long, thoughtful pause.
    No. I no longer sleep alone. Xandi and Stefan share their bed with me.
    She knew that. She’d sensed the link between the three, though not completely accepted it for what it was. Oh.
    Would you like to join us?
    Join them? Sleep with three strangers. Never, no she couldn’t do anything like…
    Not physically. Mentally. Maintain the link with me. Share the love with me. Stay there, in the privacy of your room, but feel the love the three of us have for each other… and know
