exit. It's a bit overgrown, but I don't fancy trying to run
them down if they've got a vehicle and they try to break that
direction. Pull the gate shut behind you, wedge it closed the best
you can, and then stay there and stop them from opening it back
up."
    My heartbeat shot through the roof.
It was bad enough when I did that with Rachel, it was worse when it
happened with the rest of the pack. Unlike her, they could all hear
my pulse and it was a blaring announcement of just how scared I
was.
    Isaac shifted slightly closer to me, the
instinct to reassure me apparently at odds with his sure knowledge
that I wasn't comfortable with him so close when I was the next
best thing to nude. Alec pretended not to notice and continued,
turning to Rachel.
    "Rach, turn the Escalade around and then lock
the doors and keep the engine running. If you see them break this
direction either on foot or in a vehicle honk the horn. Twice for
on foot, three times for a vehicle."
    I was shaking now. Not even Rachel could fail
to see my terror.
    "Alec, don't make Jess go, she's not
ready for this."
    Alec shook his head. "They shouldn't
have any problems, but if they do run into a vampire, things will
go much better if there are two of them. They don't have to bring
it down, they just need to hold it up until the other four of us
can get there."
    Isaac opened his mouth, probably to protest as
well, and Alec turned on him with a flare of power that set my
teeth on edge.
    "Don't, Isaac. I know what you're
going to say, but you're reaping the fruits of your decision
earlier. If you'd backed down then, we'd have worked with her
before now. At worst she'd be comfortable on four legs. At best
she'd be some real use in a fight."
    The answering rush of power from Isaac was
impressive, but still not in the same league as Alec. For the
briefest of moments the decision hung in the air and then Isaac
bowed his head and took a step back.
    The energy bubbling off of Alec was still
nearly enough to bring me to my knees. Alec opened his mouth as if
to say something, but instead just pointed at Dom and me and then
whipped his arm around towards the back of the complex.
    I looked over at Dom, but she'd already dropped
down to hands and knees, and in between one breath and the next her
form rippled into that of the big cat that was her alternate form.
I sucked in as much air as my lungs would hold, and then let my
beast rush up from the corner of my being where I usually kept her
chained.
    It hurt, but in an odd kind of way that was
over so quickly that I almost didn't remember the pain of the
transition once it was done. For a second I just basked in the
glory of being a wolf again. Every single sense was enhanced, but
my top two favorites were just how incredibly sensitive my nose had
become, and the way that everything had a thin film of light over
top of it.
    Isaac had tried to explain the
theory behind why we could see a soft glow around anything living,
but frankly I didn't care why, I only cared that it turned the
otherwise-dull landscape into a glistening paradise. I swung my
head back and forth, drinking in the beauty, and then a low growl
from Alec reminded me that I was supposed to be following
Dom.
    I slipped off into the relative darkness.
Tracking her was easy, she'd made no attempt to try and hide her
scent trail, and she wasn't moving overly fast, so I caught up
quickly. I'd spent as little time as possible on four feet, but now
that I was gliding through the night with such ease it was hard to
remember why.
    Dom brushed up against me,
shouldering me to one side, and I had to fight back the growl that
tried to bubble up past my teeth. She was vastly more experienced
at all of this than I was, but in this shape it was harder to
remember those kinds of things. My beast didn't care who was most
experienced, it cared who was the strongest, and we'd never had it
out to see who was dominant; at least not that   I   could
remember.
    I stepped on the urge to
