Taylor grasps the steering wheel and glares at Chase. He inhales deeply, but he doesn't apologize. "Okay, let's go," he tells us. He opens his door and sends one last glance at Chase. "You and I need to talk—later."

I sigh. "Fine." I close my eyes. "You're hardly a wolf, just so you know. You don't scare me in the least."
