I could feel everyone holding their breaths. No one moved or even shifted where they stood. Just waited to see how this was going to go. “Why are you here?” I finally settled on.Her face dropped, but she accepted it. “Did you read my letter?”“No.” Sighing, I sat up. “I honestly forgot about yours. With Cade and Maddox here, I just focused on them.” It’s like she knew already. Digging in her purse, she pulled out a folded piece of paper. “Here.” “No.” Shaking my head, I just took it and threw it away. “Tate, you were… you are my best friend.” My mouth opened a few times before I shrugged. “I’m not mad at you. I just found myself. Found who I was without being commanded to protect you. I’m not the same person, but these…” I turned on Piercy’s computer and the picture of her kissing my cheek. “… I’ll cherish these memories. You made me smile. Even though I was commanded to not feel. You three forced a connection into my heart. You, Beau, and Hayden will always be my family. Sometimes

Gavin locked the door when Maddox left. “That was … interesting.” His eyebrows were raised as he watched his feet move him closer to me. “He’s always been more level-headed. Even when Tatum was taken, he made the right decision. I’m guessing he only deals with Cade’s dumbass because of Tatum. Otherwise, he would keep his distance.” “His offer isn’t a bad one.” “What? Give everyone a year to relocate and then flatten it?” It honestly wasn’t. “Who was his beta?” “Does it matter?” Gavin rolled his eyes at me. “What? Don’t want to fight?” I was baiting him.Unfortunately, he didn’t take it. “It would be your fight.” “Shit. I still have some aggression that I need to get out.” “How do you plan to do that?” Gavin looked at me knowingly. Standing up, it was time to get ready. “By testing her ability to submit to me.” Smirking, Gavin just shook his head as we walked out. “She is your equal.” “No.” I had to disagree. “Far more than me.” He nodded in agreement as we reached his room.

Brett didn’t even hesitate. Her hand shot out, connect with his throat. Jo had to jump up as Cade dropped to the floor. “That was fun.” “Tatum!” Jo stomped her foot. “What? He knew it was coming. Grow a pair and get back up here.” Tatum just rolled her eyes. “I’m liking Tatum.” Gavin was laughing at Cade. “Her bad side is just as bad as Brett’s.” I muttered. Cade got up as Jo grabbed a card.“Black six.” Maddox looked at me. “I want Gavin and Piercy to arm wrestle.” My eyes instantly snapped to Gavin. “Get up.” He told Brittany. “Fuck yeah!” Brett jumped up. Everyone moved back as we got into position. “Standard wrestling rules.” She glared at us. “Go!” As Gavin pulled, I pulled too. No wolves could be used. This was purely arm muscles. “Looking a little red?” I baited. Gavin’s eyes narrowed at me. “Looking a little skinny there.”“End this so I can take you to the dance floor and rub my ass all over you.” Brett whispered in the mind link. That’s all it took. Slamming Gavin’s

Brett was shoving some knives into her boots as she studied Stacy. “Are you sure you want to come? You realize that we will have to assert our dominance? Piercy will probably be challenged, and that is to the death. People you grew up with are going to have to choose.” Stacy looked determined. “I understand. I-I need to do this. Hopefully, some will follow me, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m guessing most didn’t know about Ricky or what anger Simon harbored. Whatever it is, I’ll face it head on.” My eyes landed on Beau. He nodded in understanding. “Let’s go.” The car doors opened to an unsure pack. I could feel their confusion, their anger, and sadness. I doubted any of them knew what happened. I kept Brett next to me, but Gavin was right there. A tall, football built man was standing in front of the packhouse. His muscles were tense as he watched us walk up to him. “I’m Henry.” His eyes went to Stacy before they came back to me. “We can talk in private before I address the wh
