I won’t touch your skin.” No matter how badly he wanted to know how it would feel under his hands. “Let me see,” Derren insisted without raising his voice. Noticing the blood in her hair, Derren said, “You must have a bad cut on your head. only to find her way obstructed by a powerful, solid, and way-too-alluring body. “If you change your mind, Jesse, I’ll be at my lodge.” She turned to face Shaya. You fought well.” The other enforcers nodded in agreement.Īs their respect slid over her skin like lotion, she smiled inwardly. Hearing Jesse wince slightly, Ally felt bad. “I didn’t think it was possible.” Shaya smiled at Ally.

“Nick’s in tune with his wolf, but not to that extent.” “And your wolf respects that, and she feels respected enough to pull back when you want her to because she knows you won’t cut her out of a fight,” deduced Zander, to which Ally nodded.Įli puffed out a long breath, looking impressed. “It works because my wolf and I are completely at peace,” explained Ally. Instead, she’d worked so in sync with Ally that she shifted forms like water. The wolf should have fought Ally for supremacy, wanting to deal with the challenge and danger herself. Her animal shouldn’t have been prepared to pull back repeatedly from a battle like that. “Cain said he taught you combat,” said Derren as everyone gathered closer to her, “but he can’t switch from form to form like that.” It should not be possible. Jesse seemed to be in too much shock to feel a dent in his already wounded pride. “You should have listened to me,” she told him as she rose to her feet.

A second later, it was Ally leaning over Jesse. It was only a matter of time before Jesse was pinned to the ground by a white wolf, jaws clamped around his shoulder. That, together with her brutal hits and sharp reflexes, was enough to earn her dominance within the fight. It was so shocking and distracting that it caused Jesse to make mistakes. In between stabbing and striking Jesse, she repeatedly switched forms for just a fleeting moment, enabling her to use her wolf’s strength, speed, and fangs. It had happened so damn fast that it hadn’t affected her clothing other than to slightly tear her T-shirt and shorts. In the matter of a single second, Ally had shifted into her wolf form, bit deep into Jesse’s shoulder, and then shifted back into her human form just as quickly. He wouldn’t have thought it was possible if he hadn’t seen it for himself. Derren had no idea, but she’d just done it again.
