Almost human. That thing was almost human. Except that deep in his dark blue eyes, a red glow burned. “Ann.” Its deep voice sounded rough, as if it had a cold. It looked human again.
Like Jasha, the man she loved.
Her gaze fixed on the small dark-red smear at the corner of his mouth.
Blood.
He walked toward her. Naked. He was as glorious naked as she had always dreamed, and now she didn’t dare take the time to check and see if the rumors were true.
Because he had blood on his face.
“You little fool,” he said, “what are you doing here?”
She screamed and flung first one shoe, then the other, with all her might.
He dodged the first one. The second caught him squarely in the chest. The stiletto heel smacked his breastbone. She heard him grunt. Saw blood spurt.
She ran. Ran so hard she skidded into the door. She grabbed the keys. Her sweaty palms slid on the doorknob.
Any minute now and he’d have her.
She turned the knob. The heavy door swung toward her. The wind swept through the door, taking her breath. She ran onto the porch.
Behind her, she heard a growl. In terror, she glanced back—and saw it.
The transformation was reversing.
Inexorably, Jasha was becoming the wolf once more, and those red eyes were fixed on her.
