She’d thought getting away with Ryan would end up bringing them closer together, but after that initial scare, there had been no more unusual scents—and they’d been inundated with packmates 24/7, so no private time. It had given her that distance that she’d needed in a sense. At least physically. But she still ached for him, more and more each second that passed. Three of their packmates had been sure they’d scented vampire, potentially more than one, so they’d changed the original plan and had multiple packmates in the cabin at all times. Teresa and Ryan hadn’t been near them when they’d latched onto the scents two days ago so she couldn’t be sure what they’d smelled. But she trusted her pack, especially Erin since she was an enforcer. Larissa jumped out of the vehicle, moving wicked fast with her vampiric speed, to unlatch the gate for them. On the drive back Ryan and Aiden had opted to ride together so he was in the vehicle behind them. Maybe it was stupid to feel hurt, but she couldn’t help feel that he’d chosen to ride with someone else.
