âI think you might be an idiot,â Aspenâs papa growled over the phone.
âI think you might be right.â
The conversation was going well. I couldnât remember the last time I was spoken to this way and could see where Aspen got her spunk. For a low-ranking shifter, the gruff old wolf had some Alpha in him.
âShe doesnât know youâre planning any of this?â he asked.
âNot yet,â I said. âI plan to take her on a date tonight to let her know everything.â
âYou look a lot smarter on TV.â He sighed. âShe isnât going to like this, especially not the part where you were snooping on her phone call.â
âI understand and Iâm willing to accept the fallout.â Iâd learned in my position that it was sometimes easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
Things worked faster that way.
âWell Iâm not going to be the one to tell her anything,â he warned. âI want no part of this drama.â
âI donât expect you to, sir.â I tossed in the title honestly. He may not have been my superior, but I already knew heâd earn my respect.
âI still think you might be a dumbass, but if what you say about that rat bastard Alpha Derek is true, Iâll be ready to leave when your boys get here.â
âThank you,â I said.
This was easier than I hoped. There was the sound of some liquid sputtering from what I assumed was a coffee pot in the background. âDonât thank me yet. I know my granddaughter and sheâs going to give you hell for this.â
âI fully expect that.â I relaxed back against the computer chair, excited to deal with her bratty side.
Iâve got ideas. My beastâs tail twitched.
I shut him out, ignoring the images and sensations he was sending my way out of respect for her grandfather.
The old man sighed over the phone as if resigning himself to some fate. âShe likes sunflowers, but donât tell her I told you.â
âNoted.â I pulled up the florist order on my laptop, changing the arrangement and adding rush delivery. Theyâd bring it to the resort in a few hours. It still amazed me what money could do and how fast it could make people move.
Aspenâs papa took a long slurp of a drink. âYou got the hunt coming up soon.â
âI do.â I nodded, powering down my laptop. Another thing to add to the never-ending list, but I was an expert at checking items off.
âYou know whatâs in season this time of year, donât âcha?â His mischievous tone made me chuckle.
âI sure do.â

I stared out over the mountain range through my wolfâs eyes, taking in the forested valley below. He was more relaxed up here, stretching muscles he hadnât used in days, and working out the kinks in his pace. I might have imagined it, but his paw prints seemed bigger. Which was a strange sign of the coming rut weâd not experienced before.
Iâll tell you what else is bigger. He strutted along the top of the ridge with his tail swishing high in the air.
