    I’m so focused on Sinir, I don’t even see the car until it’s almost upon me.


    I’m too stunned to move, not that there’s time to get out of the way. The only thing I can do it try to turn


    my body away from the vehicle, to shield my unborn child from the inevitable crash.


    Time itself seems to slow down, and there’s a dull roaring in my ears. My thoughts fly by, and I’m


    amazed at the logical rity I’m able to find in a single, split second. I tell myself to go limp, the impact


    won’t be as terrible if my body isn’t tense with fear. Isn’t that why drunk people often survive car


    idents that would be fatal otherwise?


    Unfortunately I don’t have time to unwind my tight muscles, as soon as I’ve had the thought a huge


    weight collides with my back, mming into me with so much force the breath is knocked from my


    lungs. I’m spinning, twisting as the wall of iron surrounds me, forcing my feet off the ground. A


    deafening crash fills the air, though it seems dyed. Haven’t I already been hit?


    Then I’m being thrust forward, or is it backwards? I’m moving, flying through the air and yet my limbs


    arepletely constrained. My eyes are clenched shut, and the sound of wrending metal and


    shattering ss explodes around me. It’s all so sudden, I don’t have time to be afraid, to say prayers


    for my baby, if not for myself.


    I wait for the pain, but it doesn’te. After a few moments of holding my breath I realize I’m not


    moving anymore. Am I dead? Was it so sudden that I didn’t feel it?


    I peek open one eye, and sunlight blinds me. Is there a sun in the afterlife? I know shifters have a


    version of heaven, but I didn’t imagine humans got to go there.


    There’s a click, like a car door opening, and then the sound of racing footsteps. “Catch them!” Sinir’s


    deep voice snarls, so loud that I think he must be yelling in my ear.


    Hope courses through my veins. If he’s here then I must not be dead. And why am I so warm? I wonder


    btedly, imagining myself sprawled over the hood of a vehicle, in too much shock to feel the impact


    on my broken body. Shouldn’t a car that’s been sitting in the snow be cold?


    “E – E, are you alright?” Sinir is talking again, and I open my other eye, anxious to see him.


    Instead I see the empty street in front of me. “Please say something.” He begs, his gentle hands


    moving over my body from behind. “Are you hurt? Talk to me baby.”


    Behind me. I think dazedly. But that means… I sit up, truly looking around for the first time. We’re sitting


    on the hood of the car – at least what used to be the hood. Sinir’s huge body haspletely totaled


    the vehicle. Slowly – infuriatingly slowly, my brain pieces together what must have happened. Sinir


    had been fast enough to reach me, but he hadn’t had time to push me out of the way. Instead he’d


    turned me away from the car and wrapped his own body around me, shielding me from the impact of


    the car. He’d taken the full force of the crash, and his back had crumpled the bumper and hood beyond


    recognition, shattering the windshield into a thousand pieces.


    I feel nauseous at once, and my body is shaking with fear and adrenaline. “I… I…” I mber off the


    crumpled metal surface, my knees giving out as soon as my feet hit the ground. I vomit into the pristine


    white snow, feeling Sinir follow me at a pace much too slow for his supernatural strength. I’m afraid


    to look at him, but he’s hovering beside me, surreptitiously running his hands over my body, searching


    for signs of injury yet trying not to disturb . “Stop.” I choke, “I’m alright… it’s you –” I finally turn to face


    him, horror and guilt washing over me as I take in the damage.


    Sinir is bleeding, and his body must be covered with bruises. The impact would have killed me, and


    his shifter strength might have kept him alive, but not even an Alpha wolf can walk away from such an


    ident unharmed. His handsome face is a tight grimace of pain, but I’m not sure he’s even registering


    the sensations. His attention is focused on me, his green eyes scouring my body for signs of harm.


    “Oh Dominic,” I choke, my voice thick with emotion as I reach towards his battered body. His shirt has


    been torn to shreds by ss from the windshield, and I can only imagine how mangled his flesh is


    underneath.


    Before I can touch him, I’m distracted by sounds of a struggle in the distance. I follow the sound with


    my eyes, catching our chauffeur wrestling the homicidal driver to the ground a few meters down the


    road. He must have tried to make a run for it when the car stalled, unable to simply plow through


    Sinir’s iron body the way it would have my own. I immediately recognize the driver as one of the


    rogues who attacked me in the alley, and suddenly my vision turnspletely red.


    I forget my concern for myself and the baby, I even forget my worry for Dominic. I feel only a flood of


    vengeful fury, more violent and feral than any I’ve known before. That rogue hurt Sinir. He wanted to


    end my baby’s life and would have taken mine in the process, but he actually did hurt Sinir. He might


    have taken my baby’s father from us both – from the pack that needs him.


    “I’ll kill him!” I snarl, pushing myself up on shaky legs and lunging towards the rogue.


    A steely bar catches me around the waist, pulling me back. “Woah E,e here, let me look at you.”


    “No, I want to kill him!” I insist, not recognizing this bloodthirsty woman I’ve apparently be.


    “I do too, trouble, but right now you’re more important.” Sinir murmurs in my ear. I can already hear


    sirens in the distance, loud, shrill, and drawing closer with every moment that passes.


    “I’m fine!” I cry, tears spilling from my overflowingshes. “He hurt you! Let me go so I can make him


    pay.”


    Sinir is purring, but the sound keeps stuttering in his chest, as if the internal engine that fuels his


    rumbles and growls has been damaged. “I know little one, we’ll make him pay, just take it easy.”

    Sniffling, I stop fighting, turning to face him once he returns my feet to the ground. “You’re all bloody.” I


    observe pitifully, wishing I knew how to heal his wounds. “I want to make him bloody too.”


    I sound like a petnt toddler, though admittedly a very violent one. Still, Sinir isn’t listening, the


    stubborn man has his palm pressed to my belly, his eyes scouring me for the hundredth time. “The


    baby’s okay.” He sighs, “but I need you to tell me where you’re hurt, E.”


    Before I can answer, an ambnce skitters to a stop behind the wreckage, and EMT’s leap from the


    back of the vehicle, sprinting over to us. They slow down as they draw near, warily approaching us as


    Sinir holds me tightly and begins to growl protectively. “Alpha,” One of the EMT’s has his hands up,


    to show he means no harm. Btedly I realize the Moon Valley pack’s symbol is zing on the side of


    the ambnce, marking it as part of a shifter institution.


    Of course the shifters got here faster than the humans. I think with relief. And thank goodness,


    Sinir’s animalistic aggression would have terrified a human – it terrifies the other wolves already.


    “It’s okay.” The EMT continues. “We just want to help, we won’t hurt her.”


    Sinir scents the air, drawing in their aromas and apparently determining them friendly. Gradually he


    loosens his hold on me, though I can sense how difficult it is for him to do so. Eventually he offers me


    up for their examination, delivering a menacing warning in the process, “I’m watching you, beta. One


    wrong move and I’ll make you wish you’d never been born.”


    The EMT approaches me, still keeping his hands up in clear view. Sinir paces behind us like an


    enraged bear, and I try to get my breathing under control. “Luna, where are you bleeding?”


    “I’m not!” I exim, half-sobbing. “It’s all his blood. I’m fine, he’s the one who was hit.”


    The EMT look up at Sinir, searching for confirmation and starting to approach him instead.


    “No! Look at her first.” He growls, putting all his Alpha authority into the words and making us all shiver


    in response.


    “Dominic, please!” I beg, moving back towards him. “I’m not hurt because you protected me.” I press


    my palms to his chest, gazing up at him with a pleading expression. “You did your job, we’re safe.” I


    continue, praying he’ll listen to reason, or at least be triggered into action by my words. “Rafe and I


    need you to be okay so you can continue keeping us safe. So we need you to go to the hospital now.


    We need you to let them help you.”


    Sinir gazes down at me with glowing, uncertain eyes, and I ask one final time. “Please, Dominic.”
