man’s breath smelled of rot and death. Kyle’s attacker hissed, leaning in close to open his mouth to bite. It was almost too much to take in. The incessant growls. The blank, yet wide eyes. The wet lips stained red from whatever the man had killed previously.
    Kyle locked his hands around the bastard’s neck, trying to gather the best position to bring him down—but the guy kept moving around with no rhyme or reason. Almost as if both the man and wolf part of him was gone and nothing but madness remained.
    Was this guy even running plays on the field?
    The man managed to use his claws to slice through Kyle’s shirt and kick up, but with a twist of his wrist, Kyle broke the poor man’s neck. Hopefully, he’d find peace now. When the dirt settled and the desert grew quiet again, Kyle stepped back and waited to see if anyone else lingered nearby. The property was still. Too still.
    His breath caught.
    He’d left Emma alone in the trailer.

    Kyle sprinted to the trailer and stormed through the door. The only sound was very faint. Like running water in some other room. Nothing was amiss in the living room. Milly and Pete kept a clean home. The tattered couch was empty. To the right, nothing lurked in the kitchen. Where the hell’s Emma? His nostrils flared. The scent of a stranger lingered in the air—like the foul stench of rotting meat. Someone else had been here. But were they still in the trailer?
    He was about to call for her when the faint scraping of a scuffle in the bathroom caught his ear. He leapt over the couch and raced down the hallway. The bathroom door didn’t budge, but it wasn’t locked. More hard thumps. Growls and hisses. The clatter of small objects falling from cabinet. Someone leaned against the door as Emma fought with whoever was inside.
    “Emma!” Using his shoulder, he rammed the door. Anger stirred in him, and the need to shift into his wolf skin spiraled through him.
    He shouldn’t have left her alone.
    He rushed at the door again. This time, the cheap wood busted apart. The movement pushed a heap of bodies towards the shower. Arms reached all around him. A swath of black hair fell in his face. As quickly as he’d fallen on Emma and her attacker, they rolled off him and continued to fight. Em twisted her body to slam the balding man into the sink. In the narrow space of the bathroom, he lunged toward them, but stopped cold. The crazed werewolf turned her toward him and clenched his arm around her neck. His forearm rose sharply, closing her windpipe off in a deadly vise.
    Damn it.
    The bald man stared down Kyle. He’d been bitten on the jaw. The torn, purpled skin made his wicked grin all the more shocking. “If it isn’t the good officer…Here to rescue the pretty bitch.”
    Kyle flinched, but the man moved to further tighten his grip. There was something about him that was painfully familiar, but now wasn’t the time. Em’s eyes fluttered as her clawed fingers dug into the man’s flesh. The need to act grew painful with each passing second. He could fight. He could shoot. But Em was too close to the target.
    “Thought I smelled…a coward…outside,” the man hissed. His wet and broken voice stirred memories and brought a name to mind: Taylor. But this couldn’t be the same man who’d joined the pack in Hadley a few years ago.
    “Yeah, your friend outside reeked of it.” The moment to make his move was brief. A sliver of time. Kyle’s hands snaked out to wrestle Emma away. She fell toward him, and they switched places, almost like dancers changing partners. Now that Kyle was up close and personal with Taylor, he remembered how much he had hated the greasy bastard. Another one of Liam’s flunkies.
    Kyle slapped viciously at Taylor’s arm with one hand, while his other one grabbed Taylor’s throat. He shoved the older werewolf backward out of the room until Taylor rammed the far wall outside the bathroom.
    Even with Kyle’s hand slowly closing around Taylor’s throat,
