With the tip of his file finger, Keegan McRae slid the silver joins of the necklace—her necklace—around on the cleaned oak table, observing as the morning light flickered off the shinning metal. A delicate snarl thundered in his throat, and he smoothed his palm over the chain.

Resting his palms on his jean-clad thighs, he closed his eyes and rolled his head on his shoulders, attempting to ease the pressure. At that point, with a murmur, he picked up the chain and refastened it around his neck. The tree pendant settled fair underneath the empty of his throat.

It was abnormally cool for this time of year in Texas, and Keegan picked up his coffee, naturally blowing on the surface to cool it off.

He pondered if the Seattle pack would concur to his terms. He pondered if she would concur to them.

After what had happened to his possess father at the hands of a Fae—an fixation that had finished in his death—he pondered why he ought to indeed care.

    The sun was sinking moo on the skyline when Keegan and Stone pulled off to the side of a rustic street fair exterior of Las Vegas. The leave held small offer for werewolves, what with their actually higher body temperature, all the hide, and no protect from the sun and warm and all, and as such was considered impartial ground for the two packs to meet. Level, sandy territory seem be seen for miles in any heading. It was a great spot. Out in the open. No way for anybody, or anything, to sneak up on them.Keegan and Stone held up close to Keegan’s pickup, observing waves of warm rise from the black-top as a cloud of clean quickly drawn nearer from the northwest. The front conclusion of a solitary vehicle before long showed up. And interior that vehicle would be Cedric and Marc, from the Seattle pack. Keegan checked his phone. They were right on time.“They’ll never concur to this.” Stone’s moo voice broke the tense hush. “Yeah, they will.” In show disdain toward of Keegan’s sure tone, h

    Keegan looked back moreover, and Marc gave him an self-assured gesture of understanding. He turned back to Cedric. “But you still think there’s a threat of the soul suckers getting out?”“That’s what I’ve been told,” Cedric said. “But there’s something else that’s come tae my consideration having Bronaugh and her family with us.”His tone caught Keegan’s consideration. “What would that be?”Cedric ceased strolling and turned to confront him, and Keegan did the same.“There are more o’ th’ dull ones running free out there. Bronaugh says she kens o’ at slightest fifty more, other than herself. A few out o’ their minds with th’ starvation, a few no’.”“Doesn’t shock me,” Keegan told him. “We had two of them bolted in cells on my ranch.”“Aye. Marc told me.”Keegan listened the censor in his tone but chose not to challenge it. It would do no great.

    “Bláthnaid Dunn, you cannot do this! I preclude it!”Bitsy made a confront and secured her ears. Her mother as it were called her that when she was really disturbed. The title, articulated “blaw-nid,” implied “little flower.” Her father told her once it had been his thought to title her that, since she’d noticed like the wild blooms of Ireland right from the womb. And “Bitsy” had come almost since, well, she was a “wee bitsy small thing” as a child.Bitsy took her mother’s hands in hers. “Mom, calm down and tune in to me. Please.”“No! No! I will not! You cannot go back there. Have you overlooked what those creatures did to you? To me? To Bronaugh?”Forget being restricted like cattle and dragged around a earth field? Or being hit with their electric cattle nudges? Not likely. “No, Mother. I haven’t forgotten.”“Then why in the world would you need to go back there?”Good address. “I’m not going back to their ‘rodeo’, Mother. I’m going to offer assistance Asshat discover more like us.

    Keegan pushed his cap back on his head. Squinting against the setting sun, he observed as Bitsy got out of the car. She closed her entryway and inclined over the traveler window, crossing her arms and staying her head inside— saying something to the guys within—and gave him a pleasant long gander at her adjusted foot, scarcely secured in cut-off jean shorts. Small as she was, her legs were full and smooth and breathtaking, and he may nearly feel the weight of them wrapped around his neck as he buried his confront between her thighs.A possessive snarl thundered profound in his throat, startling a couple strolling past him.The lady’s head snapped around at the sound, lips separated in breathless shock. Her eyes traveled the length of him and back. She grinned, abating her steps until she about pulled her date to a halt.Keegan touched the brim of his cap. “Ma’am.” At that point turned his eyes back to Bitsy’s charming pose.Her man rapidly pulled her absent, glowering at Keegan over h

    She turned her head absent, observing a bunch of people come toward them. “There’s something I need from you. Other than my jewelry back.”His beat dashed, but he gave her a gesture. “Name it.”“I need you to offer assistance me discover my father. He was isolated from mother and me when your pack of mutts cornered and captured us. I need you to offer assistance me discover him, and I need him to go domestic to my mother.”The reality that she hadn’t included herself in that situation didn’t elude him. “So, I offer assistance you discover expensive ancient father, and you’ll beauty me with your nearness. That’s the deal?”After a moment’s delay, she gestured. “Yes.”“What if I don’t need to grant this back?” He circled the chain he was wearing over his thumb, holding it out for her to see.Her eyes dropped to the tree pendant. A few seconds ticked by. “Keep it,” she gritted out through clenched teeth.She wasn’t tricking him. The chain implied more to her than she was letting on. It’s

    Bitsy pummeled the entryway in Keegan’s confront with a sense of fulfillment. Fair for great degree, she bolted the deadbolt and slid the chain. It wouldn’t keep him out if he genuinely needed to get in, but it certainly got her message across.She required a small time to herself some time recently setting out on a Faerie chase with him. Time to figure out what the hell she’d been considering by concurring to come back here, after she’d sworn to herself she would never set foot in Texas once more, and certainly not anyplace close the nearby Alpha who didn’t have the balls to halt something he knew was wrong.Dropping her pack on the marble floor, she cleared out it there and checked out the room—the Yellow Rose Landmark.“Holy shit.”The room was like a little loft. She meandered into the living space, respecting the Persian mat that coordinated the wealthy soil tones of the furniture for a diminutive some time recently checking out the rest of the room. To her cleared out was a litt

    Keegan strolled down Austin’s notorious 6th road adjacent to the college kids and visitors, his intellect turning and his dick harming something furious. He hadn’t arranged on going back to Bitsy’s room. And he certainly hadn’t arranged on kissing her once he got there. But she’d opened the entryway in nothing but that cushy, white towel, her dim hair staying out all over her head, her brown eyes retching astonish instep of scorn, and he’d misplaced each coherent thought in his head.He scoured his confront with hands and straightened out his cap. Bringing her back down here may not have been the best thought he’d ever had. She abhorred his guts, and he couldn’t truly say he faulted her.But, dammit, he’d missed the small spitfire.When he’d to begin with seen her and her mother, crouched together in the press cell where his trappers had tossed them in no time after they’d been captured, Keegan had known they weren’t soul suckers. Not from any obvious characteristic they had, but sinc

    But no, she had to remain at The Driskill.That damn lodging was frequented. Not rumored to be. It was. The vitality in the put made Keegan’s hide stand on conclusion as before long as he entered the building, and there was no way in hell he was investing an whole night there in a room all by himself. Call him a chickenshit, but any other werewolf would get it. That kind of shit creeped them the hell out. Witches, phantoms, or any of that enchantment heebie-jeebie stuff. It wasn’t normal. When people passed on, they ought to be dead and gone, not hanging around terrifying the boots off those who had the irritate to still be alive.Keegan’s cell phone vibrated, and he pulled it out of his stash and looked at the screen. It was a content from Merrick, the Alpha of the Colorado pack. He wasn’t a companion, but he wasn’t an adversary, either. And he and his pack traveled down to Austin at slightest once a month to take portion in the rodeo. Keegan had made a few calls some time recently h

    It took him two tries to get the key to work, but he at last got them both interior her extravagant room. He bolted the entryway and turned to discover her right behind him.Now that he had her alone, there was so much he needed to say, but she beat him to it.“I abhorred you.”“I know.”“You cleared out me there. AGAIN.”“I did.” There was no sense in making excuses.The tight line of her mouth mollified. “You came back for me.”“Of course I came back for you, ittybit.” Keegan come to out and smoothed absent the final of her scowl with his thumb. “I’m too bad I wasn’t there sooner. He told me he would murder you right in front of me if I didn’t take off, and I took him at his word. Merrick wasn’t one to fuck around. And I figure the swarm would have supported him up. Indeed my possess pack was on the fence almost me, other than Stone. There was no way I may have gotten to you. No way I may have battled them all off—”“Shut up.”“Bitsy, please.” He required to clarify, to say it out b

    What the fuck were you doing?” Keegan requested. They were the to begin with words he’d talked the whole ride back to the inn. He’d been as well incensed up until now.“Saving you, Asshat.” Bitsy rolled her eyes.Her state of mind made him need to kiss her and holler at her all at the same time. Instep, he come to over the comfort of Stone’s truck he’d borrowed and took her little hand in his. She was warm and lively and there. And so was he. “I’m coming up to your room.”“Damn right you are,” she said beneath her breath, and bound her fingers firmly through his.Keegan smiled, at that point jumped and frowned. His confront harmed. Really, his whole body harmed, but not about as much as it had.Challenging Merrick once more some time recently he’d had time to mend from the to begin with fight was likely the most dumbass thing he’d ever done. In hindsight, he ought to have tuned in to Stone. His arrange had been sound and would’ve given them all a superior chance to get out of there al

    The total and express detesting that had been developing inside Bitsy since Keegan strolled absent had as it were heightens with each piece of skin she misplaced in the soil and each breath-stealing stun she gotten from the cattle prods—not to specify the disgrace of being restricted and hurled around like cattle.But those sentiments depleted out of her like grimy dishwater as she observed him with Merrick.His confront was severely bruised and swollen. Dried blood stuck pieces of his hair to his brow and streaked his confront and neck. He strolled like his boots were as well little. And he held his cleared out arm defensively against his side.Merrick had returned beat up, but to her delicate eyes, Keegan looked like he ought to be in a healing center bed.She had accepted the most exceedingly bad when he hadn’t come back, and she’d abhorred him for it. For everything. For alluring her back down to this godforsaken state. For enticing her body with his appealing manliness, and her i

    They slipped the stairs. Keegan didn’t bother attempting to conceal the sound of his boots on the wooden steps. This was still his fucking house. “Anyone else in the pack still faithful to me that you know of? Or have they all turned?”“You can check out the more youthful pups. They’re not ballsy sufficient however to stand up to somebody like Merrick, and ya can’t fault them there. It’s hard to tell with the others. I think a few of the folks who’ve been with you until the end of time, like me, will back you up if it comes down to it. Corrina, though… definitely. She’s misplaced to us, man.”“Guess one of us will have to learn how to make our possess fucking coffee from presently on.” The joke fell level. As they drawn nearer the back entryway, Keegan took a profound, agonizing breath, at that point pushed it open. In spite of the fact that his body still hurt like a child of a bitch and his head swam with each move he made, no one would know it unless they got all up and individual.

    Keegan. Come on, man. You gotta get up.”His bones shaken as somebody shook him difficult. “What? Halt! Fuck.” The final finished on a groan as Keegan pushed absent the hands and shot to an upright position. His head swam, and he couldn’t see at to begin with, but as his eyes balanced, he realized he wasn’t really dazzle from the thump in the head he’d been managed. It was fair dull outside.Something sticky stuck his hair to his head over his sanctuary, and he attempted to wipe it absent, but couldn’t lift his cleared out arm.“You gotta get up, Keegan.”The voice was commonplace. “Stone?” He looked the dim for his friend’s confront, and at last spotted the shine of his eyes to his cleared out. The rest of it gradually came into center. “What are you still doing here?”“I’ve been around.” Snatching Keegan’s cleared out wrist, he braced his other hand on his bear. With a drag and a bend, he put the arm back in the socket.Keegan snorted with the sudden torment. When it was over, he at

    Somebody called to him, but Keegan scarcely taken note over the ringing in his ears as he hurried down one of the trails absent from the horse shelter and the commotion going on inside.“Keegan! What the fuck, man?”A overwhelming hand grasped his bear and spun him around. Keegan brought down his chin and snarled profound in his throat.Stone took one see at his confront and withdrawn a few steps, but he wasn’t totally put off by Keegan’s caution. “What are you doing? What did he say to you?”“You shouldn’t be out here in the open.” “No one will see me. Presently, fill me in.”“I thought of a way to keep the rodeo from happening, and still fulfill the crowd.” He had to constrain the words out past the tie of seethe and powerlessness in his chest. “I had it all figured out.”“You were going to challenge him. You were going to be the entertainment.”“Yes. I trusted you were some place near by, and you would get Bitsy and the others out of there whereas the battle was going on.”“Keegan,

    Her prodding was cut brief when the entryway opened once more and a thin shifter Bitsy didn’t recognize came in. Everybody got calm as he gotten the cattle nudge some time recently coming over to open the entryway to her father’s cell.“Let’s go. All of you. Don’t make any sudden developments, or I’ll sear your asses some time recently you can get two feet away.”Bitsy surged to the bars. “Wait! Halt! Where are you taking them?”The shifter smiled at her. His right eyetooth was gold. It flickered in the light of the fluorescent bulb. “It’s appear time, girlie. Don’t stress, I’m coming for you next.”“What are you talking about?”Gold Tooth didn’t reply her as he introduced the three Fae out to the lobby that driven to the arena.Bitsy’s heart faltered in her chest. Quickly, she bowed down to open the brown sack they hadn’t had time to open however, looking for something— anything—that would offer assistance her.The substance interior warmed her blood.Her pack contained nourishment,

    Hours passed, and Bitsy had twisted up in the corner of her cell as near as she seem get to her father. They held hands through the bars.No one had come in to tell them what all the commotion had been about earlier. No one had brought them anything to eat or drink, or indeed to jab at them with cattle nudges like they did the to begin with time she was here.But more awful than that, Bitsy had no thought if Keegan was still here, or if he was harmed, or indeed worse—if he was still alive.Her father had attempted once more to get her to conversation almost him, but she couldn’t deliver him answers to questions she didn’t know herself. Things like how she felt around the werewolf who had permitted her to be dragged around his field behind a cruiser with a chain wrapped around her neck, at that point claimed he had sentiments for her, at that point brought her back to the one put where it had all started utilizing her father as trap. In hindsight, it had been totally as well simple for

    After locking Bitsy absent where she wouldn’t be hurt, at slightest for presently, Keegan returned to the field to discover Stone inclining back against the railing, the heel of one booted foot snared on the foot rung, arms crossed over his blue plaid shirt.He was alone. Merrick and Corrina were gone.Unsure where his loyalties were presently, Keegan drawn closer him with caution. “I was pondering where you were.”“I’ve been around. Remaining out of locate, like you said.” “Were you able to catch anything else?”Pushing absent from the railing, Stone pushed his dark felt cowpoke cap back on his head. “I did. I was covered up exterior when Merrick and Corrina cleared out. They were having very a…heated discussion.” He smiled. “And not the great kind.”“So, are you gonna stand there and be a tease with me, or are you gonna fill me in on what’s going on?”“Where’s Bitsy?”Keegan looked around, uncertain what eyes may be observing, or what ears might be listening.“It’s cool, Keegan.
