I shifted back into my Wolf as soon as Gabriel was out of sight. She was itching to turn around and run back to our Mate, but I held her firm. It was easy enough for her to forget the consequences and go with her instincts, she was an animal. As the human side of our consciousness I had to look into the future and worry about what would happen to us.
I contacted my family and Alpha Brett as soon as I was safely inside our pack borders. My parents' shock was tangible as we mind-linked, but I detected a palpable sense of relief there as well. No doubt they were surprised that Gabriel, the "Alpha of the enemy pack", had let me go at all. Before I had gotten to know him I wouldn't have blamed my parents for thinking that way. Now, I found that it irked me. There was so much more to Gabriel than met the eye.
