Excerpt
I sat up and pulled my knees in close to my chest.
Electricity flared in the air as Luke inhaled.
“You know, Logan, you’re not who I expected you to be,” he said,
taking a long thought-filled pause. “I thought the next twelve months
were going to be hell living with a California socialite, but you’re pretty
amazing. I guess I owe you an apology.”
“So, it’s a good thing that I’m nothing like you
expected?” I asked.
“It’s a really, really good thing.”
As I started to smile back he craned his neck to look away from
me. His eyes focused. Something black flashed across the road but I
was more scared by Luke’s reaction. The warmth had vanished from Luke in
a heartbeat. The object stopped moving toward us when it got to an
opening between the trees. Even though I could feel Luke’s concern, I
leaned forward toward the window, curious. It was a wolf – a really big
wolf, staring directly at us with bright green eyes. It was close enough
I could see quick breaths escape into the crisp rain-drenched air. I was
startled when the engine roared to life. Luke threw the car into reverse,
and I nearly slammed into the dash as the sound of gravel scattered everywhere.
He quickly jockeyed around and pulled back onto the road heading
home. I kept my eyes on the wolf until he was no longer in sight.
“Was that a wolf?” I asked. Everything happened so quickly, I
had to be sure.
“Yes,” he spit.
“I’ve never seen a wolf before – that thing was huge.”
Luke immediately turned to look at me with an expression that I
couldn’t begin to read.
“What’s going on?” I pressed, puzzled.
When he looked toward the road and didn’t answer, I knew my
question needed to be more specific to get results.
“Why are you freaking out? It was just a wolf.” I was
worried. He had gone from warm and comforting to moody and distant over
such a small thing and I second-guessed how quickly I had fallen for him.
“Because I need to get you home, it’s getting late,” he muttered,
failing to control his tone.
“That doesn’t make any sense, Luke. I have no curfew and you
flaked as soon as you saw the wolf.”
“Wolves are dangerous.”
“We were in the car,” I countered.
“Doesn’t matter.”
