fact. I caught a glimpse. None were recent, and I had changed my appearance some, so no one readily recognized me, but still, I knew they were on my tail. I had to get out of town right then.”
    “You shifted and ran, leaving everything behind?” Liam’s look was one of shock, his blue eyes huge.
    She stared at him a second before continuing. Obviously, he’d never experienced fear like she had. “Liam, I don’t have things like other people do. No family mementos. No treasured memories. I have a box of stuff I left with my foster parents when I moved out of their house, but other than that, the items in my small apartment weren’t worth risking my life for.”
    “Oh, baby, that’s horrible.” Liam stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. “I’m so sorry. You’ve lived on the alert like this since you were eight?”
    “Well, not entirely. I knew I was in danger. That’s why my aunt and uncle sent me to live with a foster family. But I didn’t think about it much while I was young. I went to school like other kids and played with my human friends and kept my shifting ability to myself as my aunt had instructed me when I left her. Whoever killed my parents didn’t seem to know anything about my extended family. If I had stayed with my aunt and uncle, they would have been at risk as well as me.
    “I was a teenager when my aunt sent me a package that filled me in on all the details of my existence. Somehow, years earlier, a group of humans had gotten wind of the fact my family members were shifters. They took it upon themselves to eradicate the vermin from the face of the earth. They believe we are an abomination, much like so many other hate groups throughout history. My aunt feared they would never give up looking for me. Apparently she was right. I read every detail of the letter my aunt sent, committed it to memory, and burned the pages before my foster family saw it.”
    Jaden climbed up on the bed, over her legs, and sat on her other side. He grabbed her free hand much like Liam held her other one. “You’re safe with us.”
    She shook her head. “I’ll never be safe. And whoever I’m with will be in jeopardy too.” She yanked both hands from the men crowding her space. Her entire body tingled from their touch. She couldn’t think properly when they stroked her skin. And they kept doing just that.
    Liam narrowed his gaze at her but graciously didn’t reach out to touch her. “You ran all this way from Kentucky in the last few weeks?”
    “Yes. I think I lost them. I went north first and then floated down river many miles before running in wolf form. I’ve gone a few hundred miles.”
    Liam relaxed. “That should do it. Especially if the people after you never knew you were even there.”
    “I took off so fast there is no telling what they found out. My boss must have realized I was the woman in the pictures when he couldn’t find me and I never returned.”
    “Maybe he didn’t tell anyone?” Jaden questioned. “Or maybe the men were gone before he even had the opportunity.”
    She nodded, but she wasn’t convinced. She shivered, slunk back down under the covers, and drew them up to her chin. It wasn’t cold, but she was nervous just considering the possibilities. What if someone had seen her leave out the back door? What if they’d tracked her? They could this very minute be outside the cabin waiting to get her.
    “I don’t think anyone is going to find you here, Emma,” Liam stood. “We’re pretty secluded. Just rest and we’ll figure out what to do, okay?”
    She nodded again, biting her lower lip. Not a chance in hell . The first opportunity she had, she would run. But she needed food, and she needed to heal. She’d at least take a few days to let these men pamper her and get her strength back. It made her stomach hurt to trick them like this, but there was no avoiding it. They were positive she was safe, and she was just as positive they were wrong.
