Devin stood at the end of the bar, watching as his idiot son tried to make a pass at the new waiter. Coral had smiled innocently at Darius, and Darius had taken that as a sign the little human wanted him.

"Darius," Devin said in a low and threatening tone, "just because he smiles doesn’t mean he wants you. Don’t you know the difference between flirting and just being polite?"

"What?" Darius's eyes widened slightly. "I was just being polite, too."

"By asking if he wanted to find out how soft your leather seats are?" Devin had a fucking migraine. "Stop sexually harassing him before I put my foot up your ass."

Darius scowled. "Fine. I'll leave him alone."

Devin seriously doubted that. His boy had been born a horndog, and probably would remain that way until he took his last breath. Which would be soon if he didn’t leave Coral alone.

Devin's eyes narrowed when Matt walked into the tavern. He was still livid at the wolf shifter for not telling him where North was when Devin had been looking for him.

If he was being honest with himself, Devin was more crushed than angry. How could North have hidden a drug habit from him? They were a close-knit family and would have helped him through it. But North had gone to the wolves, and that betrayal tore Devin apart.

"You got some nerve showing your face around here." Devin turned and headed into the kitchen. His office was located in the back of the tavern, and the kitchen workers watched as Matt followed him.

That was the reason he was heading to his office. Devin didn’t want an audience.

Matt closed the door as soon as he entered. "I wanted to hash things out with you. We got enough bad blood in this town. I don’t want tension between you and me."

"Tension?" Devin spat. "You should've thought of that before you lied to me. I asked if you knew where North was and you told me you didn't. You knew about his drug problem and you kept that from me."

"That wasn’t my place to tell you," Matt argued. "I told North a while ago he needed to come to you, to tell you the truth."

Devin slammed his fist on his desk, making everything on it jump and then jabbed a finger at Matt. "Don’t you dare use semantics with me! I thought we were friends. Had I known the truth, I never would have sent North to Black Dragon. He could've fucking died!"

Anger rolled through Devin. What really cut him deep was his mate's reaction when she’d found out about North. Teresa was a hard-nosed woman who'd managed to keep ten sons in line while raising them—though she'd had help from Devin's two daughters. But after seeing Teresa break down and weep when he told her about North, Devin wanted to murder someone. He hated to see her cry, and Matt could've prevented all this by stepping up and telling him the truth.

"If you ever keep something like this from me again, I'll fucking kill you, Matt.
