"Lycan," he answered.

"What?"

"The PC term is lycan."

"You can't be serious."

"Hey, our world has its politics, same as yours." Trey was measuring her. At least she was referring to the fight she taped as real instead of denying seeing it. That was progress.

"So prove it," Natalie dared. "I want to see it with my own eyes."

"I thought you already had."

"It was dark and I was looking through a camera. That's more different from seeing up close than you might imagine."

"Tell me where the tapes are."

"You show me that I'm not insane and I'll take you to the tapes personally," Natalie growled right back.

Trey stood up and walked over to stand in front of the door. He didn't want her freaking out and bolting after he shifted. He thought for a moment trying to decide which form would be least intimidating. Finally he decided that he would be better off taking the hybrid form. At least that way I can talk back if I have to.

Taking a deep breath, Trey rolled his head back and forth across his

    "Try not to move, Reasa. I know it hurts but Mallen will be here soon. Once he puts your shoulder back in place the pain will subside. I won't lie to you; that's going to be more painful than the original injury, and then you'll have to face Rafe over your actions. You've just made life a whole lot harder for yourself."Reasa opened her eyes long enough to look at Dayton, trying to ignore the agony shooting through her body. Every nerve felt like it was on fire and she wasn't used to suffering like this. Injuries had always healed instantly when she was still a vampire. Now her vision was blurred and it was hard to concentrate. "And for your mate."He gave her a rueful smile, stroking a hand through her hair because he didn't like seeing anyone in pain. "That's par for the course with Freya. Believe me; she'll give herself a harder time for this than Rafe will. He's Alpha, so he'll factor in that the safety of the pack was in jeopardy, and that will be the priority with him. As for Fr

    She was clearly embarrassed by the affection on display, so Dayton didn't try to halt her bid for freedom. It was evident it would take time for Reasa to feel relaxed in their family environment. "Everything went okay?" he asked Freya when the other woman disappeared into the back of the house."It was challenging but I was able to contain the bulk of my irritation," Freya sighed, leaning against his hard body, basking in the soothing comfort that only her mate could give to her. "I felt myself reverting back to form, Day." It was hard to admit that to him, she didn't want him to be disappointed in her. His hand ran lightly down her back, tickling her spine and sending heat flooding through her body."You didn't revert, honey, you used the tools required to deal with the situation." Dayton tilted her chin up so he could see her expression, his lips tugging in a smile. "Your problem is you think the old Freya has no redeeming qualities, love. You view her as someone to fear, someone to

    Liam's hair was a tangled, dripping mess, looking almost black as opposed to the rich deep auburn it normally was. His jeans and T-shirt were drenched and weighed him down as he waded out of the lake. She knew she probably didn't look much better and tried to wring some of the excess water out of her hair as she laughed at him. "You look like a drowned rat.""So do you," he chuckled, pouncing on her and taking her down to the grass where they rolled a couple of times before coming to lie on their backs in the waning sunlight, laughing. "That's the most beautiful sound I've heard in a very long time, Elle."She turned her head to look at him, puzzlement in her eyes. "What is?""Your laughter." Liam turned on his side, leaning up on an elbow to smile down at her. "There's no harm in letting go and having a little fun every now and then, Elle. You deserve it and it's your right. You don't have to look after me anymore."A frown marred her face and her gaze slid from his to look up at the

    Liam had such love and respect for the Beta who'd loved and lost, and found love once more with his aunt. He had given Freya a reason to live her life again, after years of being so wounded even her brother had begun to give up hope. How could he not love the Were who had brought happiness to his aunt's life? His smile was wide as he hugged him. "I think she'd have a few things to say if she thought I was, Day."He turned to his cousin, giving a warm smile at her sardonic expression. "How was the visit to the grandparents?" Elina was always unsettled when surrounded by such open warmth from the Alexanders. They were very tactile and that was something she tried to avoid."Grandmother thinks it would be a good idea if I stayed with them for a while. I politely declined, explaining I am needed here with the pack at the moment.""Ma's right, honey," Dayton smiled. "Now that we know there is no threat to you from the poison, some time at the Hanlon pack would be a good thing. It would do

    Memories of that day started to surface, and his eyes narrowed as he began to remember the sense of panic in the room. Reasa had been shouting a warning, terror in her voice. Something awful was happening, something that threatened everyone in the compound. He heard, again, Annie's calm words as she ordered Reasa to help him. The next thing he remembered was the euphoria of having his mate's mind linked with his, as she showed him how to weave a defence so strong he'd been more whole than he could ever remember being."The Praetorians..." He couldn't stop the words from tumbling out. He had to know...Kothi leapt agilely from the tree, catching a neighbouring branch to find himself another perch. "Are your defences really that strong, Liam? Think before you speak. Take it from someone who knows the necessity of strong defences. If you are not one hundred percent sure of that answer, then don't ask questions you shouldn't right now. You nearly lost it when she rejected you." He jerked

    Freya smiled as she walked back to the front of the house. The woman brought out a side of herself she'd missed for the last quarter of a century. She took comfort in knowing that it still existed beneath the more mellow part of her personality. She wasn't unhappy with the way her life had changed; how could she be when it had brought her Dayton and Elina? Sometimes though, she did wonder if being in the pack made her soft. That a day would come when she was needed, and she would hesitate and someone she loved would pay for that hesitation. It was good to know that she remained fundamentally the same strong vampire she had always been.She was surprised by her lack of animosity towards Reasa. Sure, the human was no longer a threat towards her loved ones; but that wasn't what had her at ease, even though she had just rattled off a long list of reasons why Reasa was safe in her home. The predominant reason she lacked animosity towards the girl was the fact that she understood her.It wa
