What she did next was bizarre by any definition of the word.  She grabbed him by the back of the neck, her fingers digging into his flesh to hold him still.  Then she rose to her toes and nuzzled into the side of his neck, inhaling his scent deeply.  All families had scent notes that were the same.  It was how humans were able to create genetic diversity.  A person would not be attracted to someone whose scent was similar to their own.  Amaris was not smelling him for that reason, however.  The pack had carefully collected items from each member of the family they had killed so that tracking the descendants could be done more easily.  Her eyes were full of horror as she released him and stepped back.<br/><br/>Without a word, she turned and ran into his house.  Still not saying anything, not explaining what she was doing, no matter what the two humans might have thought, she grabbed the older woman in much the same manner and breathed in her scent.  Her heart sank.  This was the person the pack was searching for.  She felt duty bound to report her findings to her Alpha.  But something stopped her.  The short time she had spent with the family had made her realize that they weren't bad.  Amaris took a deep breath and steeled herself.<br/><br/>Leaving Blake's mother looking quite confused behind her, she went back outside and returned to Blake.  "You have to leave.  You and your mother and Sofie.  You can't stay here.  Please just trust me.  Those prints you've seen?  From those big wolves?  They're looking for you."  She took his hands in hers as she pleaded with him.  "I know I sound crazy and I'm sure you don't want to believe me but if Ferox and Praelium find you, they will rip your throat out.  Then they'll go after your mother before they stalk Sofie and kill her too."<br/><br/>Amaris started to walk backward, still holding his hands and trying to pull him back to the house.  He needed to pack a bag and he needed to leave now.  She knew she sounded crazy especially when she named the wolves.  She didn't want to show him what she truly was.  She didn't want to reveal that she was part of the pack that had been systematically picking off his family.  She just wanted to save him the way he saved the wolves.
