CHAPTER 11

“What happened?”

Ashley looked up as Rickon, Robb, Ty, and Justin came running through the front door.

“One of Rocco’s pets attacked Daniel and Jessie on the road,” Darion said. “They’re fine. Jessie was barely scratched and Helena fixed up Daniel.”

“I knew you couldn’t protect her,” Rickon said as his hands shook at his sides.

“I almost lost my brother,” Ashley said. “Let us help you take care of this problem.”

“Rocco is my problem,” Rickon said.

“Until he involved my family.” Ashley was standing now, her feet shoulder width apart. A stance she took when she was not going to back down.

“Your family involved himself,” Robb said. “Daniel shouldn’t be with her.”

Ashley let out a growl before Darion quickly stood and grabbed her arms.

“This isn’t helping anything,” Darion said. “Rocco is a threat and he needs to be eliminated before he starts killing the humans.”

“That’s your answer for everything isn’t it, Dark Lord?” Ty said. “Just kill the Cambion as long as the humans are safe.”

“In this case, yes.” Darion didn’t budge as he stood next to Ashley. “It doesn’t matter if Rocco is a Cambion, human or Dark Lord. He needs to be stopped.”

“We can take care of him ourselves,” Ty said.

“Yeah, and you’ve done such a great job at that, too.” Ashley looked at Torrick who had been silently sitting in the corner.

Ashley saw Ty’s eyes flash in the light as he removed his sunglasses and faced Torrick. Torrick stood to his feet, and within seconds, Gareth and Drew were by his side. This was not going well. And if she didn’t do something soon, there was going to be a dog fight in her bar.

“Enough!” Ashley shouted. “This isn’t helping.”

She turned to Rickon.

“I don’t know what Rocco’s bottom line is, but I do know he’s after Jessie.” Ashley saw Rickon look to Robb and Justin. “You already knew that?”

“It’s probably a way to get to me. Go after the female,” Rickon replied.

“We can keep her here at the bar. I’ll get Agnes to put some protection spells over it,” Darion said. “But you need to let us help you.”

Rickon looked to his sons again and Ashley saw Robb nod to him.

“We think they might be hiding out in the warehouse district,” Robb said. “Unfortunately, there are too many for us to check at once.”

“Then we do it tonight. Together,” Ashley said.

Rickon nodded.

“Together.”

“This is bullshit,” Ty said. “We don’t need the Dark Lords’ help.”

“We do,” Robb replied.

“Maybe if we had a stronger alpha,” Ty shot back. “Then we wouldn’t be in this mess.”

Ashley saw the flash of anger cross through Robb’s entire body. Robb stepped in front of Ty, nose to nose. Despite the tension holding in Robb’s body, he seemed calm and in control. He showed no fear and kept his stance.

“Either get with the pack, or get out of it,” Robb said. “You have caused enough damage. We work as a team. If you want to be a lone wolf again, then there’s the door.”

Ty fell quiet, but Ashley could see his lips curling into a snarl.
