right here. I’ve not offered to take anyone
home in my car. It’s my love machine.”
    Marshall chuckled, especially when he saw Scarlett was
smiling as well.
    “I’ve got my own ride,” Trey said. “Do you want me to
drive you home?”
    “I’ve got Scarlett covered.” Marshall stepped closer,
grabbing her arm and pulling her beside him. He didn’t want her going with
Trey.
    “If you want to get home I don’t mind going with
Trey.”
    “I want to give you a ride. I promised you, and it’s
up to me to prove to you that I’ll keep my word when it comes to you.” He led
her to his car, opening up the door. Marshall wondered if he was ever going to
have a time with her when he didn’t lead her from one place to another.
    He closed the door giving Jack a pointed look. “I’ve
got to head out. See you losers tomorrow.”
    Trey walked away after giving Scarlett a final wave.
It took all of Marshall’s control not to pounce on the bastard. Trey didn’t
care about Scarlett, not really.
    Climbing behind the wheel, he started up his car.
Several of their peers were looking into his car, and he wanted to grab
Scarlett and kiss her so everyone saw who she belonged to. He doubted she would
like that kind of attention. There would be a time when he would prove to all
of these assholes that she was his.
    Driving out of the parking lot, he headed in the
opposite direction of her home.
    “Erm, Marshall, you’re going the wrong way.” She
glanced behind her as he drove.
    “I’m not. There’s something I wanted to show you.” He
reached over, grabbing her hand to lock their fingers together. His wolf
calmed. The possessive need rushing through him, dimmed with her touch. So long
as he was close to her, he didn’t need to worry about his wolf wanting to make
a claim.
    “What?”
    “I’m taking you back to my place. Well, my parents’
place, but I live there.” He gave her a wink to which she laughed.
    “You’re completely crazy, you know that right?”
    “Yep.”
    I made her laugh.
    The small victories meant so much to him. She settled
back still holding his hand as he drove toward his house.
    “You live near the forest?”
    “Yes.”
    “You know I was sure I could hear wolves there this
summer,” she said, surprising him.
    “Real wolves?”
    “I don’t know. A lot of strange stuff keeps happening
lately.”
    She hummed something. He wished he knew what she was
thinking. She wasn’t giving off any fear. What was she thinking about wolves?
Did she believe in them? Crap, he didn’t know what to say. He’d grown up to
know that he had to keep his ancestry a secret.
    Pulling into the driveway, he parked the car.
    “Is someone here?”
    “My parents.”
    He inwardly groaned as he heard the sexual moans
coming from his home. His hearing had gotten better since his turning.
    “Come on.” The moment they heard Scarlett, they’d
stop. He slammed his door closed, rounding the car, and grabbing her hand once
again.
    “Your home looks beautiful,” she said.
    “You’ve not even got inside yet.”
    She chuckled. Scarlett hiked her back up onto her
shoulder as they made their way inside his home. Something crashed in his
father’s office, followed by smashing.
    Shaking his head, Marshall waited for the door to
open. His mother appeared first looking ruffled. He was a wolf, and they were
used to their sexuality being on display.
    “Marshall, I didn’t realize that was the time,” his
mother said.
    “Mom, I’d like you to meet Scarlett. Scarlett, this is
my mother, Carla.”
    “Hey,” Scarlett said.
    “Oh, you brought a girl home. Luke, he brought a girl
home.” She shouted toward his father as she moved forward, cupping Scarlett’s
cheeks. “You’re so beautiful.”
    “Mom, please,” Marshall said.
    “What?”
    He made sure he was a step back from Scarlett so she
wouldn’t see. “Fear.” He mouthed the words so his
mother would understand.
    Carla instantly dropped her hands away from
