Damn the house was gonna get crowded.
Kira sighed and rested her head on his chest, snuggling even closer. Thank you, she whispered.
He returned with equally soft words. For what?
Saving her. She& His mate sniffled.
Pressing a kiss to her head, he wrapped his arm around her and tugged her closer. Hush.
Everything s fine. She ll recover. She won t be happy for a while, healing is a bitch, but she ll be
okay.
Kira nodded. I know, but I was so scared.
So was I.
But he didn t say the words. Speaking them aloud wouldn t do anything but ratchet up her unease
and that was the last thing he wanted.
Instead, he enjoyed the cool breeze, the rhythmic squeak of the swing, and the feel of his mate in
his arms.
A large SUV screeched to a stop in the middle of the street, double parking and blocking most of
the traffic. Isaac wondered when Ty would finally get word. Mrs. Laurie had already visited and then
scampered back to her home to spread the gossip she d gleaned from Kira. He would have told her to
keep it quiet until they could speak with the clan s Itan, but with the confusion of Zoey s recovery and
all the wolves& it just hadn t happened yet.
Ty strode through the gate surrounding Kira s front yard. They d finally just propped the thing
open so they wouldn t have to listen to the bell jingle every thirty seconds.
The clan s Itan bounded up the stairs, murder in his eyes, and swung his attention to Isaac.
He didn t bother getting up. Sure, his mate stiffened in his arms, but a gentle rub had her relaxing
once again.
Isaac. His brother s voice was calm. Too calm. That meant the man s bear was good and
pissed.
Itan. It was best to fall back on protocol when Ty got his back up. He had to remind the male
that not only was he a bear, he was the bear and meant to protect his members.
Not rip them to shreds.
A door slamming deep within Kira s home drew Ty s attention for a moment, and the male glared
at the front door as if he could see through the panel.
Would you like to tell me why I have half the Redby pack in my territory?
Not really. That earned him a glare and he huffed. Kira s best friend from her old pack
showed up. Her father or brother maybe both decided Zoey was a good substitute for testing out
their toxins. She managed to make it here, but it was close for a while, Ty. Too damned close.
That doesn t answer
Isaac held up a hand. I called Flynn to fetch supplies from the clinic, and as you know, he s a
wolf like Zoey. So when he brought what I needed, he not only recognized her as a wolf, but also as
Reid Bennett s sister. Possibly cousin, but Flynn seemed positive she s the male s sister.
Fuck. I didn t even know he had a sister. Ty bit off the word and then clenched his jaw, muscles
of his neck bulging. You know what that bastard did.
Reid had nearly killed Trista because of something her father had done to Reid s family. It didn t
matter that the Hyena Alpha who d caused his family so much pain nearly did as much damage to
Trista. Reid had wanted the blood debt paid. One of the few things that d saved Trista and Keen from
Reid was Van.
They d also managed to capture Reid. Alive. No one was sure what the Southeast Itan did with
the alpha wolf, but they d never spoken of him again.
Until now.
I know what he did, but that has nothing to do with Zoey, he countered. Just as whatever
Trista s father did was not Trista s fault. We don t hold that against her.
The anymore was implied.
And the pack is here because&
Isaac shrugged, nearly dislodging Kira. He brushed a kiss across her head with a murmured
sorry before answering Ty. Because, even though he was more than a little psychotic, they still
respect the man. He held them together for a long time. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that pack is loyal
to Reid Bennett and she s his family. She needs help. The pack is ready to give it to her however they
can.
Can they help her on their land? Having this many here makes me uneasy. Ty s chest expanded,
stretching the man s shirt.
No, she s Kira s best friend and that makes her family, which makes her clan. He wasn t going
to address the fact that he pulled that idea outta his ass. Besides, their interim alpha will be here
soon. Right now, they re crowding around her and giving what comfort they can. You ll probably find
more wolves than humans in the living room. Once he arrives, I figure you two can negotiate the
number they leave behind.
Ty took another deep breath, the low snap of string telling Isaac that his brother s clothes were
quickly losing the battle with his size. There doesn t need to be a negotiation. They leave. Done.
You know we have that treaty with them. Boyne Falls is neutral territory since the fight with the
hyenas and you even let a dozen wolves or so work in Grayslake. It d be a show of good faith if you
let a few stay. Isaac remained intent on his brother. Plus, it makes my mate happy. And if my mate is
happy&
He let the words trail off and the tension in Ty deflated like a balloon.
Then my mate is happy because the family should be happy.
And one chink in the chain& He continued Mia s favorite message.
Ruins the links and it s harder to fix what was broken than to never have broken it in the first
place, Ty grumbled. Fine. I ll speak with the alpha and we ll figure something out.
Isaac glanced at Kira, noting her even breathing and slack mouth. It s good to have them anyway,
Ty. Who knows if her family followed or tracked her. I m damned thankful I was able to patch her up,
but on the off chance Kira s father or brother show up&
Yeah. Ty nodded. Do they know what happened to her? What they re up against?
No. Not right now. You know what I know. I realize you found out about all of this in a
roundabout way, but I had intended on telling you. I figured you and the alpha could disperse the
information as you desired.
Gee, thanks, he drawled.
Isaac grunted, sounding so like their father it was ridiculous. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
