Trudy“No!” I grabbed a carved Native American pipe displayed on the wall. Most likely it was stolen, I thought, as I heaved it across the room. I’d have to be a superhero to throw the thing through the door on the first try and nail Rika, standing out in the snow.
It didn’t even make it past the foyer, hitting the doorway edge.
“Ha! You missed!” Rika crowed.
“I wasn’t trying to hit you,” I said. My eyes darted to the right, where Dane’s ice bear was closing the distance between him and Rika.
It was my first time seeing his ice bear. He was beautiful. Even though I’d seen his twin, Ash, in his ice bear form, I would never mistake the brothers in their shifted states. Maybe it was all his years playing hockey, but Ash was more graceful.
Dane was all dark vengeance. He hunted to kill.
