mind and he definitely didn’t want that image in his brain when he finally got the chance to hold Sara in his arms again.
    No interruptions this time.
    The closer Everett got to the motel, the stronger the scent of wolf became. He didn’t notice it at first, too preoccupied with thoughts of Sara and perhaps growing too accustomed to the stench of mutts all around as of late. Warning bells went off in Everett’s head as he picked up the pace. He grabbed his phone and dialed Sara’s number. She picked up after a couple of rings.
    “Hey, you on your way?” Sara asked, her voice slightly raspy and inviting.
    “Sara, make sure your door is locked and stay inside,” Everett rattled off, not bothering with niceties.
    “What? What’s wrong?” she asked, alarmed and confused.
    “Probably nothing. Just that the way to you is covered in the smell of wolf,” Everett said, trying to remain calm.
    “Oh, is that all,” Sara noted sardonically.
    “I’ll be there in a couple of minutes,” Everett added before hanging up and bursting out in a sprint.
    His bear beat down on the walls inside him, roaring and thrashing.
    When Everett reached the motel parking lot, he immediately spotted two wolves stalking towards the building. The fur on their backs was bristling, their tails low to the ground.
    “Hey!” Everett shouted, prompting the wolves to turn and snarl at him.
    Everett sniffed the air. None of them were Keith, but the grey wolf’s scent was familiar. He had tracked it once before, starting from this same parking lot.
    Everett let out a roar as the shift took him. Fur erupted from his skin, his body twisting and growing along well-known patterns. Power surged around him as his tall frame was replaced by that of a hulking grizzly bear.
    The wolves stared at Everett tentatively, probably getting more than they had bargained for. The grey wolf took a step forward, saliva dripping from his gnashing teeth. Everett growled, getting on his back paws.
    The grey wolf ran towards him, claws raking across the asphalt. He jumped up a second before reaching Everett, teeth aimed at his underbelly. Everett brought his huge paw down in a quick swipe. The wolf went flying backwards, whimpering as it hit the pavement.
    The other wolf started slowly pacing in his direction, yellow eyes following Everett’s every move.
    The grey wolf got back on its feet, lunging at Everett’s legs. He almost managed to sink his teeth into him, but not before the bear grabbed him by the throat and tossed him aside like a sack of potatoes. The other wolf stopped in its tracks, looking at the lifeless body of its companion. Next thing Everett knew, the remaining wolf sprinted across the parking lot and into the woods beside it.
    Not letting you get away this time , Everett thought before charging after him.

Sara
    S ara was burning a hole in the carpet, nervously walking back and forth in her room while staring at her phone. Everett had told her to wait inside, but what if he needed her help?
    And what are you going to do against a bunch of werewolves? Sara thought, admonishing herself for being stupid. You’re not exactly Buffy.
    The best she could do was stay out of Everett’s way.
    A roar ripped across the parking lot in front of the motel. Sara rushed to the window, straining to see what was going on.
    A huge grizzly bear stood amongst the parked cars, facing two snarling wolves.
    Holy shit, is that Everett? Sara thought, mouth agape.
    She watched as the bear took down the attacking wolf with ease and chased the other into the woods. Sara stayed near the window, wanting to see when Everett returned, and also to keep an eye on the wolf, to make sure it stayed down. Adrenaline rushed through her system, making her feel keyed up.
    After a while of no movement, either from the wolf or the woods, Sara told herself to calm down. She sat down on the bed, feeling useless once more. What if this was all part of some plan to lure Everett into the
