Chapter 39: Chapter 40

Shifter!

If she hadn't seen it herself, she wouldn't have believed it. This was the last place she'd ever expected to encounter one. Chloe Hanson stood for a moment when she was her wolf again, took one look back toward the trees and loped down from the rocky outcropping. Then she stopped, holding herself still while she scented the air. The aroma of the other wolf was fading, drifting away on the breeze. Then it was gone. The very last thing she'd expected, practically in her own backyard, was another wolf. And a shifter at that. Not only were wolves not indigenous to Texas, they'd been extinct for a long while and Texas Parks and Wildlife had yet to join New Mexico and Arizona in reintroducing the wolf into the area.
