Chapter 180

• She opened the door and slipped inside the Gallery, her gaze quickly running over her friend, ensuring he had come to no harm. He appeared to be okay though she could sense his anger boiling deep within him. She knew why he was so angry. The vampire had touched him. She hadn't only touched him but it was skin on skin contact. Not something the strong male before her found acceptable.
• Dayton watched her intently, the faint hint of a welcoming smile on his face. Two years was nothing in the life span of a Were and he hadn't really noticed her absence when she was gone. And yet, now she was back he realised that he had missed her.
• Rayne was a law unto herself. She came and went as she pleased, often without a word of warning. She had fallen into his life almost as soon as he had left the pack. Nothing he'd done had persuaded her to leave him alone, she had just kept coming back until one day he hadn't tried to make her leave. That day had been one of the rare times he had seen the real woman behind the mask she wore for the world.
