Good thing demons were strong.

“Let’s get this shit started.”

Dee’s foot shoved the gas pedal to the floor. She took the curves and hidden twists with ease, her gaze never darting from the road.

At this rate, they’d be at the hospital in no time. The road was deserted. Dark and quiet. Well, quiet except for Dee’s revving motor.

“Does Lee know he was attacked because of me?” Erin’s fingers tapped against the side of the passenger door.

“No.”

Ah, then that would be a fun conversation.

“He doesn’t know that you saved his butt yet, either.”

Headlights flashed in the distance.Maybe not so deserted.“Saving him has to count for something, right?” Erin asked quietly. She sure hoped it did.

Zane kicked open the door of the cabin. He called out, “We’re here!” A pretty unnecessary shout to Jude’s way of thinking.

Kyler tossed Jude onto the floor. “Got the shifter bastard you wanted.”

Jude didn’t grunt at the impact. He didn’t move at all. Old floorboards squeaked around him as Zane and Kyler edged out in the room.

Jude’s nostrils flared. He couldn’t scent the wolf, but Erinhadtold him the guy could disguise his smell. So just because he couldn’t smell him, well, that didn’t mean the stalker wasn’t there.

His ears twitched.

Silence.Thick and heavy. Too much silence.

He slashed through his ropes and bounded to his feet. “Where the hell is the bastard?”

Kyler was creeping toward the door. Jude grabbed him and slammed his head against the wall.Payback for the headfirst toss onto the floor.The demon went down and didn’t get back up.

Jude’s gaze raked the cabin.Not here.

But if the wolf wasn’t waiting to rip him apart, then where was the bastard?

“Yeah, saving the lawyer’s life has to count for something,” Dee said, her fingers tightening around the steering wheel. “It’s not like you could help the fact that this creep after you tried to kill him.”

The headlights were growing closer. The dark shadow of that other car—was it swerving a bit?

Erin licked her lips. “How many other cabins are out this way?” She’d never seen another vehicle when she’d visited Jude before. He liked his solitude. Not real big into sharing property and?—

Something big and black ran into the road.

“What the hell?” Dee slammed on the brakes.

But whateverthe hellthat was out there wasn’t aiming for them.

“Is that a fucking dog?”Dee’s breath jerked out with a hard rush.

Erin’s breath was gone.Not a dog.The beast was heading right for the other vehicle. Running fast and hard. The beast never halted, never faltered, just ran straight for the other driver.
