Chapter Seven

Liam insisted that I finish my sandwich and take my time doing whatever I needed to before heading to his cabin for the clan meeting he was holding. I sent Penny another text, even though I knew she wouldn’t reply, on my way to the bathhouse for a quick shower.

I felt absolutely disgusting.

After I showered, I headed straight to Liam’s cabin. It was a little after 7 p.m., which still seemed impossible, and I was ready to help form a plan for Penny’s rescue. She’d been with Ezra and his pack for way too long.

The living room was already full when I stepped inside Liam’s cabin. A few people nodded to me while others smiled, but every one of them stepped to where I was and either squeezed my shoulder or touched me.

I realized then that touch must be a big thing with bears. Who would have thought? In my head, I pictured them as grumpy grizzlies who preferred to be alone. I’d been wrong.

“Rayna told us about what you did, how Tobin fell sick with the curse and you saved him,” a woman in her mid-forties said. Her eyes filled with tears, and I knew it was because she was close to them both. Was she a sister or best friend? Or was that just how this clan thing worked—they all felt like an actual family? “We’re thankful for you, and what you did.”

“I didn’t do anything anyone else in my situation wouldn’t have. He was just a kid. A sick kid. And I knew I was the only one who could save him. That doesn’t make me a hero,” I said, meaning it.

“To us it does,” a guy in the back said. The voice was familiar, but I couldn’t see who had spoken until he stepped from the back of the living room and into my line of view. Nash. “To me. You saved my life. And you saved Tobin’s. Isn’t that what heroes do—save lives?”

A cocky grin stretched across his face as he sauntered to me. His eyes were dark and wild, but there was a softness to them I’d never seen before. I wondered if this was the only time I would. Nash seemed too moody and brooding to reveal this side of himself often to anyone.

“Hey! I’m glad you’re okay. I haven’t had a chance to see you yet,” I said. It was great to see him without his throat ripped out and covered in his own blood. My gaze dipped to where his nasty wound had been. It had fully healed, but there was a slight scar.

“You’ve been too busy saving others, I hear. Hero.” He folded his arms over his chest and widened his stance beside me. His eyes brewed with trouble as his lips quirked into a full-fledged smile. “So, what are we going to do about these damn coyotes? They’re not going to stay away. Everyone knows coyotes don’t abide by anyone’s rules but their own. They’re among the assholes of the shifter world.
