CHAPTER TWENTY

Kayla's POV

I run from Adam's attack.

I run back to the party.

I search for Shane.

I can't find him.

"Where's Shane?" I ask the wolves.

"I don't know," one of them answers.

I see him in the corner and run to him.

He looks at me in confusion and rises to his feet.

"Kayla? What is wrong? Where have been?"

He is worried.

I smell Adam's scent behind us.

"Shane! It is terrible! Adam wants to become alpha!"

"What?"

"He wants to kill you!"

Shane is stunned.

"And he wants me to be his luna," I tell him.

"What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?"

"Not really."

"What does that mean?"

"It doesn't matter. Shane, he wants you dead!"

I'm trying to get him to see sense.

But he will not drop it.

"Kayla!" he cries. "What did he do?"

"He tried to have his way with me," I confess.

Shane pulls me into a hug. "Are you ok?"

I realize I am not. I am more shaken than I realized.

"No! I am not!"

"Ok," Shane says. "Take a deep breath."
