taken off. I agreed.
I spent most of my time taking care of the pups, which my men helped me with constantly. At least
when we weren t cleaning up the lake or having tons of hot sex. The sex was fun& Cleaning the lake?
Not so much. But it had to be done. Well, it didn t, but since I could clean it up, how could I not?
I felt the dark energy when I was teaching Devil and Angel to hunt in the afternoon. I wouldn t let
them near it but I focused on reading it. When I got a clear reading on who it was, I grabbed their
lunch and hurried them back to the house. The moment we were there, I shifted back.
Guys, need you out here, I said loudly. I watched as the pups devoured the small doe I had
killed. It hadn t been easy to drag all the way back, but it didn t matter since my boys were so excited
to be eating it. Tristan was the first out the door and I stared at my feet while I pulled on my shorts. I
know who s following you.
You felt the energy?
Oh yeah, big-time. She s stalking the house to see if she can get to you, I answered, noticing my men
were all there now. Tell us what happened when you rescued Gideon. I got a few snippets from her
and they don t make sense. Her brain s all twisted up in rage though so I didn t believe what I see
from her either.
I killed the Alpha, he whispered, looking away from us and towards the trees. They were
supposed to be out of town so we were going to snatch Gideon and leave guards there to arrest the
inner circle when they got back. Everything went to shit in the blink of an eye. They knew we were
coming. We had decided to go ourselves because the High Council wanted a full report on the porn
movies the pack had been making.
We knocked at the door and the second it was opened Jared had a huge shotgun pointed at his chest. I
panicked and my power lashed out. I don t even know what I did but I just wanted the threat against
Jared gone and then the Alpha dropped dead. According to the High Council Jared got the gun away
from the guy and he died in the fight. He didn t want others knowing I could kill like that.
It makes sense to keep that quiet when you re working to help the Omegas when it seems most are
scared of their power, Bay agreed quietly, patting Tristan on the shoulder.
Show me, I said gently as I held out my hand to my friend. When he took it, I watched his memories,
feeling what he did, and knew what he had done. Your power shut down his heart. You freaked out
and constricted the muscle without even realizing you could.
I didn t mean to, Tristan whispered in shame. I just didn t want Jared to die.
Hey, stop that, I chastised as I smacked him in the chest. I would have gladly killed the guy to save
Jared. He s your mate, Tristan. No one would ever judge you for killing someone to protect him.
I know and I don t regret it. I m just having trouble processing that I took another life and I did it
with my powers. I ll get over it. For now, it s hard to deal with. He stared at me with pleading eyes
that I understood what he was going through.
I get it. Don t worry. I ll kill the bitch, I told him firmly.
Who is it? He swallowed loudly as if having guessed already.
The Alpha s mate. I don t know if the High Council didn t know about her or what but she wasn t
taken captive.
No, they won t do that to any of the humans in the packs. They think that a human can t be evil
enough or strong enough to start any trouble. If they attack the guards on the rescue then they can be
shot, but if they stay out of it then they re let go when it s over. I could feel Tristan s annoyance at
that and hear the disgust in his tone.
Well that s just stupid, Harkin grumbled. I ve met plenty of humans that could do more damage
than a crazy Alpha. The High Council needs to stop underestimating people or living with their heads
in the sand. It s not good for any of us and it s led to so much pain and death.
Amen to that, Bay agreed.
Okay, Tristan, you stay here with Levey and keep the pups calm and happy. They re going to need a
bath, I said with a chuckle when I looked over at them. They were still tearing into the doe, covered
in nasty.
Where are you going?
To kill the bitch who wants you dead, I answered with an evil smile. You guys care to join me?
Oh yeah, we re in, Harkin growled as he pulled off his shirt. Bay nodded and did the same.
You don t have to do this for me, Wes, Tristan said quietly, nervously. I can handle it.
How many times over would you kill someone who wanted me dead? I asked, raising an eyebrow
at him.
Several, he sighed.
It s what friends do, buddy. I m better at tracking energy than you are. Just let me handle this for you.
