Free Wolf Creek Ghosts (Texas Pack 3) (Wolf Creek Werewolf Shifters) by Jo Ellen

down, he knew.
    The parking lot was dark, courtesy of the BB gun he carried in his truck. He chuckled. No one realized the damage a simple BB gun could do. Quiet but powerful under the right circumstance.
    He felt her head move against his thigh, surprising him, so he automatically shocked her again. This bitch was strong. His other victims had been crying and slobbering after the first shot.
    He slowly rolled out onto the road, not wanting the attention of any police. The college was right off the highway which made getting away so much easier. He did not have far to go before he turned off onto a dirt track which led to an abandoned camper surrounded by dense trees.
    Carrying her inside, he stretched her out on the bed and clamped heavy chains around her wrist. He then took a towel and wrapped it around her mouth to keep her quiet before shocking her again.
    He laughed as he watched her muscles twitch in agony. “Sorry baby, but I’ve gotta go to a rodeo. I’ve already paid my entrance fee, and I can’t disappoint the fans. But don’t fret, sweetheart, I’ll be back to ride you later. By the way, those chains are connected to steel poles I drilled into the ground. But go ahead and tear those dainty little wrists apart and try to get loose. What’s a little blood between friends?” Willie winked as he walked off. He felt a shiver go down his spine hearing her animal like scream behind the gag.
    Willie became aware he was still standing in the pond and made his way back to dry land. Not that it mattered, he didn’t get wet, just rejuvenated.
    Going back to that night left him frustrated. He’d missed his opportunity to get the girl he’d been watching at the rodeo and arrived back at the camper pissed off. At least he had the college kid to work over.
    He remembered climbing out of his truck and noticing a stillness in the woods. No crickets were chirping, and no animals were rustling in the underbrush. He spun around, feeling like prey caught in a hunter’s sight. Spinning back around he was amazed to see a huge, blonde, nude man standing before him.
    What had the guy said? Something about revenge for his victims? Then his college girl stepped out from behind the big guy. Willie shook his head, how did she get loose? A moment later two cougars leapt at him, claws reaching for his head. The last thing he remembered was covering his face and screaming.

Chapter 7
    “I’m hungry.” Devlin pulled Olivia up and herded her to the kitchen where Rafe and Lisa were eating.
    Rafe gave Devlin a nod, seeing his brother had relaxed and no longer looked stressed out.
    Small talk ruled the lunch until Olivia sat her sandwich down and cleared her throat.
    “I’m going to have to go back to the bar.” She held her hand up to stop Devlin before he could break in. “I have to do this, moving spirits along is what I am driven to do.”
    “No, I will not allow you to go back to Charlie’s,” Devlin stated adamantly.
    Olivia did not get angry at his use of the word allow, she knew it was worry driving him. “Devlin, there’s something going on I don’t understand, and it’s hard to explain. There’s this light, flame, I don’t know what to call it. It’s in my head, calling to me, but I’m afraid to answer. I know, somehow, this has something to do with Willie.”
    They were all silent as they stared at Olivia, not knowing what they were waiting on.
    Lisa cleared her throat. “I could take a peek. If you allow me to, I can get into your head and see just what this is.”
    “Really? How?” Olivia asked.
    “It’s what my little witch does, one of her many talents.” Rafe picked up his mates hand and kissed her knuckles.
    “Okay, umm, what do I need to do?” Olivia looked to Devlin for help.
    “Come on love, will go into the great room where everyone can relax.” Devlin pulled her to her feet and moved her to the couch.
    Jack appeared leaning against the mantel.
“I’ve been searching, but I haven’t found
