What's going on?!

Sensing that Gio’s wolf was far from at ease, Danica snuggled deeper into Gio’s arms and began to softly pat his chest, scratching him lightly with her nails through his t-shirt. A growl of contentment rumbled up his chest and he curled his arm tight around her. They sat that way for the next few hours, chatting and laughing with everyone. James and Danica even did a little reminiscing, talking about her mom and sharing some of the many stories that perfectly demonstrated just how dizzy the woman had actually been. Even Lindy had laughed. It was because the atmosphere was so cheery and relaxed that Danica sensed the change the second it happened.

"What is it?" she asked Gio who was speaking to Max – who was on guard duty – on his cell.

"What?" he snapped into the cell. "I’ll be right there." Flipping his cell closed, he stood upright and then placed her on the chair.

"Stay here, Danica."

"What? Why?"

"Baby, just stay here for me."
