‘What’s bitten him in the as s?’ Ghost voice comes quietly as I just sit on the pavement and watch Cas walk away from me, he doesn’t look back at me, he just leaves.

‘I’ve not seen him like that before, not that I know him well.’ I can’t believe he would think I compare him to Jeremy, the comparison has never even entered my mind, the two men are like night and day.

‘Put it from your mind, no point in worrying about what’s up his as s. Let’s go for a run.’ Putting the plate next to me I quickly and carefully scoop up all the flowers I dropped when Cas scared me and then stand with the bag and plate in my hands. I set off back to my little cottage at a quick walk, I don’t see a single person on my way back. Cas said that people are normally around but so far they seem to be giving me a wide berth.

‘You think they are all avoiding me or just shy?’ It’s hard to not think people are avoiding me just because of who or what I am, I know from experience that there are mixed views on Omegas, never mind rogues.

‘I doubt they are actively avoiding you, I think you need to stop thinking the worst of people.’ I roll my eyes as I open the small wooden gate onto my front garden, the front of the cottage is really beautiful. It’s covered in wild flowers and they are a mix of winter and summer flowers so some are in bloom still despite the cold weather.

‘You’re one to talk, it was only days ago you told me not to join the Pack.’ Pushing into my open plan kitchen and lounge I drop the plate

and bag of flowers onto the small two person table.

“That was before I knew how bad this Pack had it, they need us and neither of us will turn away from that.’ I sigh, she’s right, I can’t turn my back on someone hurting anymore than I can turn away from Cas. I know staying here is giving him hope that one day I will be ready to be his mate but deep down I don’t know if that time will ever come.

I don’t realise I’ve been standing staring out of the kitchen window until Ghost starts nudging me, she’s desperate to go on a run. Reluctantly I head back out of the cottage and round onto the back garden, it faces into a patch of trees so I figure this will make for a quick stroll. Maybe she will calm down if I give her ten minutes of freedom. Ghost is pushing out of me before I am even fully undressed, the ripping of fabric has me cringing, it’s not like I’m swimming in clothing.

‘Da mn it Ghost, you couldn’t just give me a second?’ Ghost’s little yip as she starts running through the trees is the only way I know she has heard me. I have little to do but sit back and see where she takes us, I have to admit I do enjoy this part. It’s so relaxing having Ghost take over, almost like I can stop my mind from thinking and just forget about everything. Out here running over fallen trees and hunting for rabbits, I’m not beaten and abused Eva. I’m Ghost, a powerful female shifter and all round snarky badas s, it’s a power I never knew I had inside of me and not one I totally dislike. I’m not sure how long we run for before I realise Ghost has done the only thing Cas asked me not to

do.

‘Ghost, go back. We’ve crossed the border.’ I can’t keep the panic from my voice as I try to pull her back into me, she’s strong and resists my pull though.

‘Wait, I can smell some water. Let’s go for a swim and then we will go back, what’s going to happen to us out here in the da mn trees.’ I keep

pulling on Ghost as she keeps running through the trees until we reach what looks like a small stream.

‘Well you’re not swimming in that, let’s go back.’ I’m not sure what has Ghost’s attention but I can feel her suddenly go on the alert, her entire b*dy has become stiff and she’s not moving at all. ‘Ghost, what is it?’ I can’t help the panic rising up in me, if my wolf is scared then you can guarantee that I am.

“Well, well, the rogue Omega bends over and becomes Pack.” The male voice comes from behind me and I can’t help but keep the smile off my face. I haven’t seen Eric since that night on the dirt road, after he took me from the hospital.

‘Let me out Ghost, it’s Eric. We know him, we can trust him.’ Instead of answering me, Ghost slowly turns around and starts growling at Eric. He’s barely changed except for the unkempt scruff now covering the lower half of his face, he’s wearing a pair of basketball shorts and is holding a t-shirt in his hands. His chest is smooth and completely covered in tattoos, the only man I’ve seen with as many tattoos as him was Fraction.

“I have a shirt here if you want to shift? I don’t think your wolf likes me much.” Eric leans forward and drops the tshirt of the ground, he backs away quickly when Ghost snaps at his hand. “Or maybe she outright hates me.” Eric raises an eyebrow as he slowly holds his hands up and turns his back, it’s a bold move when he has a clearly pis sed off wolf near him. He obviously underestimates Ghost or he thinks he can beat us should she choose to attack.

‘Let me out Ghost.’ I feel her reluctance as I carefully but forcefully pull her back until I am standing on two feet and reaching down for the t-shirt.

‘You shouldn’t be around this male, Cas won’t like it.’ I roll my eyes at

her as I pull Eric’s shirt on.

‘Since when did you care what Cas thinks?’ Ghost just growls loudly at me as I pull the shirt into place and reach over to tap Eric on the shoulder.

“That’s better, your wolf is defensive.” Eric’s smile is massive as he leans down and gives me a small hug and k*ss on the cheek.

“What are you doing here?” I can’t believe he even approached me, it’s not like we parted on the best terms, I gently push at his shoulders to put some distance between us.

“I caught your scent and I thought I would check in and see how you are. I haven’t seen you since the club.” He rubs his massive hand over his chin and scratches at the scruff he has growing there.

“What club? I never saw you at Dragon’s Flame.” I cross my arms under my chest but I realise it pulls the t-shirt up so I drop them back to my side, I don’t miss the way Eric’s hazel eyes shoot down to the bottom of the shirt and his nostrils flare. I instinctively take a step back suddenly feeling like I should have listened to Ghost and left when she

said.

“Not that sh it hole. I saw you dancing your as s off at Roxie’s. Cas warned me off so I left before I could speak to you.” I feel my eyebrows draw together in confusion. Cas never mentioned seeing Eric that night.

“He never said anything.” Eric just shrugs like it’s no big deal.

“Not like I was looking for you, I went for a peaceful drink and he all but warned me to stay away. I see he got what he wanted,” Eric sniffs loudly before smiling, “ah, not everything. Still not his I see.”

“I don’t belong to anyone.” I don’t know why but I suddenly seel very uncomfortable, “I should get back, Cas is expecting me.”

“I doubt it, I saw him and the Beta heading into Midsey. They left the pack about half an hour ago.” If I wasn’t uncomfortable before I am now, for Eric to know Cas and Rowan left it means he was watching the Pack, “our time is being cut short anyway. Until next time, little Omega.” I shiver as he quickly darts into a bush behind him and I hear the snapping of twigs as his wolf takes over and carries him away.

‘Well that was random, was it me or was that super creepy?’ I run my hands up and down my arms as I try to dispel the unease Eric has left within me.

‘Erm, you have bigger things to worry about.’ I’m confused as to what Ghost means until I hear my name being called, I sigh loudly knowing I’m in deep shi t.

“Eva! What the hell are you doing out here?” Heath comes walking towards me completely n*ked, “move it now, Alpha will be having words for you.” I keep my eyes on the floor so I don’t have to look at the giant’s n*ked b*dy, I try to turn around so I can pull Eric’s shirt off and shift. “Oh no, trust me, Alpha is going to want to know what you’ ve been doing. The shirt stays on.” Reluctantly I start walking back towards the Pack, it isn’t until we are crossing the border that I realise why he didn’t want me taking the shirt off. I have to go to Cas and not only explain why I crossed the border but also why I am covered in another man’s scent.
