  2. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    Step. Block. I blurted before I could stop myself. I took a deep, shuddering breath. I was going to say But Derek's expression said he already knew the answer. The look on his face...I'd been humiliated before, having Simon accuse me of liking Derek, but that was nothing compared to how I felt when I saw Derek's look. Not just surprise, but shock. Shock and horror. he said. Again, the words flew out before I could stop them. This time, I didn't care. I'd completely humiliated myself, and now I was just empty and ashamed. All I wanted was to get him out of my way, and if telling him that made him run in terror, then good.But he didn't run. He just stared at me, and that was worse. I felt like the biggest loser at school, admitting to the coolest guy that she liked him. He stood there gaping like he must have heard me wrong.

  3. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    I made it two steps before he snorted. I turned to see him lying on his belly ready to jump up. He jerked his muzzle, telling me to come back.He cut me off with a snort. It was hard for a wolf to scowl, but he managed a good glower.I took the switchblade from my jacket pocket. A snort. A head jerk.

  4. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    He moved into the moonlight. That was no accident. He wanted me to see his eyes burning with fever, his skin flushed, hair sweat soaked. He wanted me to say, leap out of bed, and insist on going outside with him, help him through it, a I had the last two times.I looked at him and I lay back down.He stepped froward. I sat up, swung my legs out of bed, and stood. He breathed a sigh of relief. I walked to the window.A spark of panic ignited in his eyes. After how he'd treated me today, I should have said But i didn't. Couldn't. It took everything I had to just crawl back into bed.

  6. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    A whisper of fabric as Derek dressed. Then a hand on my waist, a light touch, tentative. I turned and Derek was right there, his face above mine, hands sliding around me as I titled my face up-We both jumped-again. Tori stood there, staring at us, Simon behind her, grabbing her arm. Simon began. She shook her head. Liz raced in. "Derek's ready," I said.

  8. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    I glanced in the first open door and stopped short. Desks. Four tiny desks. A wall of faded posters of alphabet animals. A blackboard, still showing the ghost of numbers. I blinked, certain I was seeing wrong.Derek nudged my legs, telling me to get moving. I looked at him, and I looked at the classroom.This was where Derek had grown up. Four tiny desks. Four little boys. Four young werewolves.For a second, I could see them-three boys working at the three clustered desks, Derek alone at the fourth, pushed slightly away, hunched over his work, trying to ignore the others.Derek nudged me again, whining softly, and I looked down to see him eyeing the room, every hair on his neck on end, anxious to get away from this place.

  9. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    He held out an old eight millimeter video camera. A video camera? What would I use it for? Recording our great escape? I didn't say that, because I knew it wasn't the point. This was a gift, a way to say His eyes begged me to take it. Just take it. Forgive him. Forget what happened. Start over. And that's what I wanted to do-accept his gift and smile and see that spark in his eyes and-

    he drawled. His grin turned a little less friendly, more bared teeth than smile. He stepped closer. I stepped back. he said. His look sent a shiver through me. He moved toward me, I sidestepped, leading him away.

  11. Kelley Armstrong _ The Reckoning

    An exhale, relieved that I understood. I turned. He put his fingers under my chin. His mouth opened. Shut.I lifted onto my toes, put my hands around his neck, and pulled him down. When our lips met, that first jolt...It was everything I hadn't felt with Simon, everything I'd wanted to feel.His hands went around my waist, pulling me closer-Simon's footsteps thudded through the hall. We jumped apart. Derek grumbled.

    I said.A dismissive snort as he got to his feet. He tried running again, and didn't fall, but did more lurching than loping, his legs threatening to tangle at every step.
