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.”
