      Chapter 1

      I can wash myself, Crystal grumbled.

      Beth, her best friend, looked her dirty and bloody body over and raised an eyebrow. I bet you can, but you look like you’ve been in a car accident and then run over by a riverboat.

      Crystal offered a tired smile to her friend. Motorcycle accident, at least. But I’m fine. I don’t know how I’m fine, but I am.

      Crys, your clothes are ruined and you’re covered in blood!

      Crystal sighed and pulled her tattered shirt over her head. She let it fall to the floor and then gave her ruined jeans the nudge they needed to slip over her hips and join the shirt. She stepped out of them and moved to the shower to turn on the hot water. She turned back to Beth and saw her friend staring at her body a moment longer than she should have.

      Crystal glanced down at herself and understood why. She had dried blood stuck to her underwear and her skin. What Beth couldn’t see was that she wasn’t cut. Or at least she wasn’t anymore. She had been. She’d been scraped, torn, gouged, and even bitten. But between the time her friends had killed the Beast that hunted her and the ride back home, her body had put itself back together. It was impossible, but no more impossible than watching the five people turn into wolves before her very eyes and then shift back into humans.

      I’m about to be very naked, Crystal warned her.

      Beth crossed her arms in front of her. You can’t scare me.

      Crystal laughed. Get out!

      No, her friend insisted. After what you went through, I’m not leaving you.

      Beth, I love you, but— Crystal trailed off, not sure what exactly to tell her friend. She knew about the Beast, but she didn’t know that the bikers seemed to have adopted her into their pack. She almost snorted when she realized she’d used the word pack. It was fitting, what with them being werewolves.

      Why are you shaking your head? Beth asked.

      Crystal blushed and stopped. She hadn’t realized she was doing it. Things are crazy, she admitted. She sank down to the closed seat on the toilet and folded her arms across her belly. My life is crazy. I don’t know what the hell is going on.

      Me neither, Beth admitted. But I’m here for you.

      Crystal offered her an appreciative smile and nodded. You’re the best.

      Damn right I am, Beth whispered.

      She laughed at her friend and stood up. She turned away from her and slipped her bloodstained bra off and let it fall to the floor on top of the other clothes. Moving fast and not looking or thinking about it, she pushed her boy shorts to the ground and stepped into the shower. She pulled the curtain shut behind her and moved into the hot water.

      One thing’s for sure, Beth called over the patter of the falling water. All this worrying must be killing your appetite. How much weight have you lost?

      Crystal closed her eyes and shrugged. Then she realized Beth couldn’t see her. I don’t know. Seems like a few pounds every day.

      Don’t take this wrong, but you look amazing.

      Crystal snorted. She had a long ways to go before she’d look amazing. She was tall and had broad shoulders. Unfortunately, too many microwaved dinners and trips to a drive-through helped make the rest of her body wide too. At least until this week. She didn’t think it was worrying that was helping her. If anything, her appetite had increased but she was still losing weight.

      After the water beat on her for several minutes, she dunked her head in and began soaking her hair. She picked the sticks and leaves out and watched the water pooling around her feet turn red. She moved her hands down to her neck and winced as she rubbed across her shoulder where the Beast had bitten her as it had tried to breed her.

      She shuddered at the memory. Breeding her had been his intention. She thought of it more as rape. In either case, he hadn’t been successful but it wasn’t for lack of trying. She wasn’t sore anymore from his misguided attempts to force himself into her but the memory still made her cringe.

      That was only part of the crazy night she’d had. Guntar giving her the Beast’s heart to eat—raw—was probably the crowning moment. Seeing Hank naked and wanting nothing so much as to jump his bones came in a close second, though.

      Crys?

      Crystal shook her dark thoughts away and reached up to push her wet hair off her face. Yeah?

      Um, when were you going to tell me that Ember and Hank were werewolves?

      Crystal’s breath caught in her throat. Had Ember told her? Or Hank? When? They’d both ridden back with Beth to Crystal’s house and sure, Hank had been naked beneath the spare blanket Beth kept stored in her trunk. But nobody said a thing about them being able to turn into wolves.

      How, um—

      When that thing sent Hank’s bike flying and went for you, I saw Hank. He hadn’t even stopped sliding across the ground and his clothes went flying in pieces. Then this giant dog takes off after that, that thing.

      The Beast, Crystal mumbled.

      Yeah, sure, whatever. By the time I got my car stopped, my door was open and Ember’s clothes were on the seat and floor. She was gone and another dog—

      Wolf. They’re wolves, not dogs.

      "Okay, wolf. Well, she ran to Hank and then, right before my eyes, she turned back into Ember! She told me to go get her friends at your place. Then Hank climbed to his feet—I mean paws—and she fell down
