(Rene)

Nobody breathes.

A hall full of wolves and the only sound is the doors settling back into position.

He stands there and lets us look.

My men have him ringed.

Six of them, close, ready to shift at the slightest provocation.

He doesn't so much as turn his head to count them.

That's the first thing that's wrong.

A lone wolf walks into a packed Alpha's hall, he's either suicidal or he knows something the rest of us don't.

This one looks bored.

"You're a long way from your roadhouse," I say i

    (Angelique)The herbs go in his juice before he's fully awake.Crushed fine, an extra pinch today, just in case."Tastes yucky," Zack says, same as every morning of his life, and drinks it anyway."I know, bug. Big gulps."He drains the cup and I finally let myself breathe.One more day bought.My body's still sulking about last night.Sore where his hands were, wound tight where he made sure not to finish me.The bond still humming a low note I can't shut off.I shove it down with everything else and get up.The house woke up wrong.I felt it before I even opened my eyes.The air's gone thick with wolves who don't belong here, a dozen new scents stacked over the ones I'd learned to live around.The Myr stayed.All of them, Brynn hissed through my door last night, like it’s my fault.I had no idea Parker was coming, and naming him as Zack’s father was Brynn’s idea.She can’t lay any of it at my door.It doesn’t change the fact that I'm a mouse in a house that went from one cat to twen

    (Rene)"He’s not asking for anything."Cole stands in my doorway like he'd rather be down a mineshaft."No food. No demands. We put an Alpha in a bare bedroom and he's sitting on the cot like he's waiting to be called to dinner.""His scent?""Still banked. He’s caged, cornered, and we can't get a clean read off him. I've never seen control hold like that."Of course it holds.Parker Frey spent years pretending to be nobody.A cell doesn't rattle a man who made himself vanish.What I need to find out is why.And where he’s originally from.The answer to the second question should answer the first as well."Leave him there," I say."If he doesn’t want to eat that’s his business, but make sure there’s bread and water available. Aside from that don't touch him, don't talk to him, and make sure he stays put."Cole's gone before I finish.I didn't sleep.I tell myself it's the houseful of Myr wolves and the Alpha under my roof.It isn't.It's the bond, scraping me raw, chafing at me to go

    (Angelique)His rooms smell like him and it affects me immediately.That's the first cruelty, and he's not even here yet.Cole put me inside, shut the door and left.Now it's me and the bond and the dark, and every breath I drag in is full of Rene.Zack's in our room, asleep, alone behind a door I'm not standing on the other side of.Nobody’s watching him.I should have been back with him by now. Broken by the rejection, but still able to fight for him.Parker's locked up somewhere, alive on borrowed time, because of a lie that's chewing through all three of us.And my body won’t stop reminding me that it’s been worked up for days and not allowed release.As if none of the rest of it matters, as long as I get to orgasm.You built this, my wolf says, quiet and vicious. Lie down in it.I wish she’d offer options instead of anger.What else am I supposed to do?When every option I have is terrible, I have to pick the one I can live with.That’s the one where Zack isn’t hurt.When I first

    (Rene)Angelique's mouth opens.Nothing comes out, because Parker answers for her."She doesn't have to say it."His tone is flat and almost bored. "I already did. The boy's mine. So is she."The hall takes a breath it doesn't let back out.There it is.The words the dark thing in my chest has been hissing since Brynn came to my office and tossed the words at me so casually.Confirmed by the male who did it.He had her. He put a pup in her. He kept her while I-I shut that thought down before it finishes.The rage that comes up instead is clean and simple, and I let it in like an old friend."Cole."I don't raise my voice."Take him to the dungeons. Perhaps some time alone will teach him better manners."My men move.Parker doesn't."I wouldn't."He says it the way you'd tell a man his shoe's untied.Cole stops, eyes on me, waiting for confirmation."You can open my throat right here," Parker goes on."But people know where I am tonight. People who'd come asking your pack the kind of

    (Angelique)"I'm not leaving without them."The words drop into the middle of the floor and just sit there.Nobody moves.An entire hall full of wolves and not one of them shifts his weight.I spent last night wishing for a way to warn him to go into hiding, and instead Parker walked through the front doors and into the worst room he could have picked.For me. For Zack.He doesn’t owe us anything, yet here he is, risking his life.The bond's still hauling me toward Rene underneath all of it, relentless, picking the one moment every part of me should belong to fear.I shove it back down where it lives and make myself look at the man who just signed his own death warrant.He looks the same as the last time I saw him.Tired around the eyes.Steady in a way that used to make a bad night survivable.I realized he wasn't human when I saw his eyes go gold the day Rene found me.But I never even suspected that he could be an Alpha.There’s no denying it now though.The weight rolling off him

She's fitting pieces together fast and enjoying it."You'd be Rene Beck."His voice is even.Mild.Like he’s asking whether I enjoyed my meal and would I like some dessert."I’ve been looking for you.""You found me. But I suspect you’re going to come to regret that very soon."He smiles at that, showing me all his teeth."I don't think I will."Brynn jumps up from her seat."Rene. Who is this?""Parker Frey."
