to him.” Chastity pulled the blanket from around her, holding it out to Cam. “Merci, Monsieur, but I have to go now.”
    Cam looked at the cover in her hands, hesitating before he took the blanket, his stomach clenching at the thought of this gorgeous female going back into the hands of someone like her brother. “My name’s Cameron, if you ever need my help try and find me, Cameron Sinclair of Sinclair Enterprises. Your brother shouldn’t be able to scent me on you, we were masked.”
    He saw her nod her head before she transformed before him, the loss of the sight of her nakedness causing him to snarl abruptly. Cam watched until she went Wolf, taking in her beast’s beauty, its eyes meeting his for a brief moment before it turned and disappeared back into the forest.
    His Wolf howling in his head in protest at her leaving, “What the hell’s wrong with you?” he asked as he took the blanket over to the dead Wolf lying on the grass and wrapping it around the blood soaked fur. “Shit! This is gonna hurt,” he thought as he bent to pick the large body up, knowing he would need to take it far before he could dispose of it.
    Struggling under the weight of the Wolf, Cam staggered forwards, only to stop short when he saw a set of Wolf eyes staring at him from between the brush in front of him.

    Cam halted his steps, dropping the deadweight of the body he held in his arms, straightened up and snarled. “What the hell are you doing here?”
    The Wolf pushed forward, leaves sticking to its thick fur, coming towards Cam confidently to stop in front of the dead Wolf on the ground. A growl rumbled in its throat for a second before the change started. In less than a minute, Jinx stood defiantly before Cam.
    “I said, what the hell are you doing here?” Cam spat the words out, “I told you to go on, didn’t I?”
    Jinx cocked his head to the side. “What? You really thought, for even a moment, that I’d just carry on and leave you alone in enemy territory?” Jinx’s tone was incredulous as he shook his head. “How long have we been together, Sin? Just the two of us? So long that I can’t remember but you sure as hell shoulda known I would never have left you alone.”
    The look of anger and hurt on his best friend’s face halted Cam’s retort, instead he took a deep breath to calm himself before speaking. “You should still have gone with the others. What if something happened to you out here?”
    “Sin, what’s going on?” Jinx looked pointedly at the dead body lying between them.
    “I’m not sure, I felt her fear and my beast kinda took over but then when I saw him bring her down like that…” Cam ran a hand through his hair, “I just lost it.”
    “First things first, get me some jeans or something will ya?” Jinx smirked up at him, “I’m not hauling that lump through the forest naked!”
    Cameron produced a pair of jeans and handed them over. “Sorry, you know I’m useless at getting boot sizes right so I guess we’re gonna have sore feet by the end of the day.”
    “Ya don’t say!” Jinx pulled the denim up over his nakedness. “At least it’s not cold or raining, ‘cause if it was I’d be wanting a lot more than a pair of jeans.”
    “She was something though, wasn’t she?” Cam all but whispered as his mind went again and again to the memory of the beautiful White Wolf.
    “Yeah, she was.” Jinx fastened the button then looked up at him, “Not so sure she’s worth killing for though, my friend. The shit is really going to hit the fan if we don’t get a move on and get rid of this body.”
    “She was,” Cameron murmured as he bent down to heft the body of the Wolf up.
    “You take the back end and I’ll take the front, and we need to get moving, Cam.” Jinx held on tight to his end of the dead weight. “We definitely don’t want to be caught here lugging around the dead body of one of their Wolves.”
    They set off at a brisk pace but it wasn’t too
