CHAPTER 10

RAUL

I've only been out with Curtis for half the morning, and already feel like giving up and turning back. To be fair, that's only partially my brother's fault. It mostly has to do with the fact that both my animal and human brains are fixated on the omega back home.

It isn't in an alpha's nature to leave his mate unguarded and alone at home, especially this close to a heat. Of course, Brad isn't actually in heat, and he isn't unguarded. Not by a long shot, but that doesn't mean it's any easier to talk my instincts down. Nothing about the way I feel for Brad is rational. Nothing at all.

On the other hand, I get the feeling Brad is enjoying his vacation from me. He clearly doesn't like to be hovered over, and while I’m trying to be on good behavior, it’s more of a test of will than I expected.

You okay, man? Curtis asks, glancing over at me. I can tell from the look on his wolf's face I've been spacing out again, but we're just running through the woods on the outer perimeter of the territory, so it isn't like I need to laser focus at the moment.

In fact, there has been no sign of any additional trespassers whatsoever. All the old trails have long since grown cold, and I have a feeling once we finish tracking them, they will have more than covered their tracks before they go back to their home base.

Of course, I already know where they came from. Grayridge and Blue Fang. There's no doubt about that, and I have a hostage to corroborate my side of things, but I’ll need more in order to justify invading the Blue Fang pack, even if I am the regional alpha.

And invading is exactly what I plan on doing, sooner or later. We've been waiting for Constantine to make the next move for too damn long. Especially considering I know what that move is going to be. The same as it always is with the Grayridge pack. Bloodshed.

I have no issue with shedding the blood of the pack that killed so many of my own packmates. So many family members, friends, and brothers and sisters in arms. But I can't justify escalating the war beyond defensive measures for my own personal vengeance. For my mate, however…

There are enough pacts within our pack system that have lingering ties to Blue Fang to make things complicated. And the fact that I've claimed a mate from Blue Fang who was betrothed to another pack is not going to sit easy with them.

Not that I particularly give a damn what they think about anything, but even I have to give an account for my actions. Especially when I might be leading my fellow packmates to their deaths as a result of them.

I'm fine, I say, pushing my paws to hit the earth faster.

It's rare that I go out in my four-legged form rather than as a bipedal alpha beast, but I can shift easily enough if I need to, and attracting attention right now is not my goal.
