WOLF HOWLS PIERCED MY EARS, adding more of a chill to the already
cold Oregon February breeze blowing across my skin.
The sound was only a mile or two away. The noise had come from behind
me, which meant the wolves could stumble upon my scent and track me.
A shiver raced down my spine.
I wasn’t supposed to be out here, far from our pack neighborhood in
Oxbow, Oregon. This area marked the state line between Idaho and Oregon,
where someone in our pack could easily trespass onto Idaho land and cause
problems with the neighboring royal adviser. There was no telling who these
wolves were.
Coming here to hike Hells Canyon National Recreation Area had been a
mistake, but this was one of the safest places for me to walk alone, and I
desperately needed time to myself after our alpha, Zeke, had forced me to
clean his house and miss my shift at the local coffee shop…again. I was
going to get fired, and my chance to escape the pack was being stolen from
me because of my position as the weakest wolf in it.
I tried to push away my concern and admire the shining full moon high in
the vast, cloudless night sky. Cloud-free nights were rare here—another
reason I’d decided to sneak out for this walk.
The third reason was that I couldn’t shift because my wolf was so weak,
so when I had a stressful day like today, I came here.
Multiple wolves howled, and they were closer…only about a half mile
away.
My chest constricted as the wind picked up, rustling the branches of the
surrounding larch, lodgepole pine, cypress, and true fir trees and adding to
the already eerie atmosphere. My wolf stirred within me—or so I suspected.
The sensation resembled a churning in my chest rather than in my stomach.
Gods, I wished I could pack link, but that was yet another thing I couldn’t
do.
Knowing I couldn’t head back because I’d run into them, I ran deeper
into the woods toward the canyon the Snake River flowed through. I could
use the water to cover my scent. If these wolves were part of my pack, I
couldn’t use the knife strapped to my ankle to defend myself against them, or
I’d be in trouble with the alpha. But standing here to take whatever abuse
they decided to bestow upon me wouldn’t be smart, either. I had to get away.
Hell, the only reason I had the knife was to defend myself against another
pack, especially with the king and queen of the Southwest territory making
moves to take over Oregon.
I propelled myself into a run. I could hear the panting of the wolves
drawing closer and the pounding of their paws in the forest mulch.
The hair on the nape of my neck rose. With each breath I took, air puffed
in front of me like fog. The temperature was close to freezing, but I no longer
felt it. Not with adrenaline and fear pumping through my blood.
For each step of mine, the wolves gained two on me, and a prickly
sensation washed over me. I was their prey.
