that she had teased him about his sexual ability.  “Oh yes...”
    “And my wolf never backs down from a challenge... he wouldn’t allow me to, he’d insist I ensure the challenge was... thoroughly satisfied.”
    She clenched her thighs together, convinced that people would be able to feel the red hot warmth emanating from there.  “I’m glad to hear it.”
    “How about we get out of here and I satisfy this challenge?  All night long if I have to.  No scratch that all night long, because I want to .”
    She turned and rubbed her thigh against his groin.  “You sure you can last all the way to my house...”
    He rumbled with desire.  Pulling her to her feet he grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the bar not stopping to say good bye.  His long legs strode purposefully toward his truck, she had to run to keep up.  The night was turning cold but her body was already on fire for him. 
    She noticed Dean stood across the street talking to someone, or rather arguing heatedly with a young blond haired man.  She was about to mention it but Adam noticing that she had started lagging quickly hurled her up into his arms and jogged the rest of the way.  She giggled at his impatience.
    Soon they were speeding out of town toward her house.  Feeling impish she reached over and caressed his sex through his jeans.
    He almost jerked them off the road.  “Damnit woman!  You want to get us both killed?!”
    She giggled and blew him a kiss.  “Just wanted to make sure you were ready for me Alpha ...”
    Adam gritted his teeth and increased his speed.  Fuck!

    Adam had parked the truck and was carrying Rosalee into the house before she could even object.  He thought about knocking the front door down but considering her reaction to the last time he did that perhaps it wasn’t a wise idea.
    He growled his impatience as she fumbled through her purse for house keys.  Sniggering she bumped his nose and told him to be a good dog.  He tightened his grip on her.  She was going to pay for that .
    When she finally had it unlocked he pushed through and back heeled it shut behind him.  He was about to sprint up the stairs... but something was wrong.  The stench of rancid animal blood hit him.
    “What’s wrong?”
    Slowly he placed her on her feet, still keeping one hand wrapped around her he switched the light on.
    She screamed.  The books, furniture, pictures had all been ripped apart.  The walls were covered in blood. 

Chapter Nine
    Rosalee sat on the steps to the porch.  Further examination of the house found that nothing had been spared.  Every room, every piece of furniture, every possession was destroyed. 
    Adam called Alec over to come and make an official report.  He also had Don come over to search for scents.  Not that he thought there would be.
    Rosalee was in shock.  He vainly searched for some clothes or something he could find to pack for her.  There was nothing worth salvaging.  Even her suitcase was shredded.
    He bundled her up in his truck and drove her to his house.  She stared out of the window motionlessly.  He shook with rage at the thought of this monster invading his mate’s house and going through her possessions.  He wanted to punish them so badly for hurting her.  His knuckles whitened as he gripped the steering wheel.
    When they arrived he gently lifted her out and carried her in.  She was too numb to take in her surroundings. 
    He took her up to his bedroom, or rather what he hoped would be their bedroom.  Carefully he undressed her and put her in one of his t-shirts and lay her down.  She dozed for a while but suddenly felt very cold and lonely.
    Her body was suddenly very alert to the fact that she was here in Adam’s bedroom, in his bed, in his clothes, surrounded by his wonderful musky scent and yet where was Adam?
    Being so fully surrounded by everything that was him made her tingle, yet it wasn’t enough.  She became painfully aware that she needed him.  She
