Chapter 34

Lila’s POV

All it took was one look to turn my world into absolute chaos… and maybe to get me killed. Because one look is all it takes to trigger a werewolf’s mate hunt, and when a wolf’s hunting, he won’t quit until his mate either dies or joins the furry side. Now here I am, trapped in some guy’s house—okay, technically a car, but same thing—he’s stuck mid-transformation, and neither of us can leave. Life as I knew it is over; my epic struggle to survive is just starting.

My ex-roommate’s boyfriend’s hot friend—try saying that ten times fast—was a werewolf. Red eyes. Sharp teeth. Definitely a werewolf. And he’d called me “mate.” What the hell was a werewolf’s mate, anyway? A lifelong subscription to fur tumbleweeds rolling under my bed? Unlimited canine snoring?

“Are you still breathing?” Riley asked from the driver’s seat. She glanced back at me like I’d zoned out mid-sentence. “Because I don’t think you’ve heard one word I’ve said.”

Oops. I hadn’t.
