THEY WEREN’T listening. Almost none of them were listening to Jay, their Alpha, and in that moment, he was so incensed by their defiance, he leaped from the table into the fray, throwing shifters at every stage to the floor with enough force to stun them. Some, once they realized who he was, stayed down, but others lunged right back at him, uncaring to their mutiny.

Pandemonium didn’t say it well enough. This was anarchy, and Jay would not stand for it. Although he didn’t know the reason Bari had fled into the rat area, he was grateful to have one less witness of how spectacularly he was failing. There were still too many people part of the brawl, and despite the work the circle was doing to stop the fighters, more and more seemed to be appearing.

“Alpha!”

Jay’s head whipped toward the voice, a child’s voice, calling to him in the chaos.

At the entryway into the rat section was the boy he’d met the other day, waving frantically at him while clinging to a doll, looking far too fragile and vulnerable to be anywhere near this vicious melee.

“Get back!” Jay called to him, fighting his way to reach the boy and throwing anyone who dared try to stop him out of his path. He dropped in front of the child as soon as he reached him. “You need to hide! Get away from here—”

“Your mate! He’s in trouble!”

“What?”

The boy tugged on Jay’s still-clawed hand, not waiting to explain.

Jay’s mate?

Bari.

Gripping the boy’s hand harder, Jay took the lead, hurrying with him down the corridor. When it opened into a larger hall with different doors and Bari wasn’t immediately visible, Jay let the boy pull him toward the third room on the right, where five rat shifters were circling a body on the floor.

“That fucker broke my nose,” a woman grumbled. “Let’s break a few things of his.”

“Get away from him!” Jay growled, leaving the boy at the door so he could race forward. He was ready to transform fully into a hulking werewolf should they so much as look at him wrong when they turned toward him, but as soon as they saw who was giving them orders, they fell back and lowered their heads.

At least someone still remembered who Jay was.

“Alpha,” the woman with the broken nose began, “we were just defending ourselves—”

“Like hell they were,” the weak, muffled voice of Bari filtered up from the floor. He groaned and started to sit up, holding the bridge of his nose. “I was trying to tell you, I’m not with those other wolves. I came here with Jay.”

“Bari.” Jay crouched beside him, shifting human so he could reach for his face without claws. “Are you all right?”

When Bari pulled his hand from his face, there was a cut across his nose like the punch had come from someone wearing a ring. “I will be.”

“Bari?” one of the men said. “This is Bain? Alpha, we didn’t know—”

“I was here the other day!” Bari spat up at him.
