Chapter 44

Since he still hadn't laid in a full supply of groceries, Mark decided to catch breakfast at Selena's again in the morning. Deep down he really hoped he'd see a female who didn't belong here, one with red hair who might just be the wolf he'd run with the night before. He'd been shocked to see her again, more shocked when she actually approached him, and stunned when she actually ran with him.

But what really had him restless and edgy was the connection that had zapped between them. And his ability to send her a message. What the hell? He'd lived in Zapata County for ten years and never come across either a pure wolf or a shifter. So what was with this female who'd popped up out of nowhere?

The crowd had thinned out a little by the time he arrived, so he managed a booth all to himself. A couple of people stopped by again to say hello, but as politely as possible he made it plain he was eating alone. And watching the door.
