Damek stood on the quiet sidewalk outside Haven with Craig’s family, outwardly showing no emotions. Inwardly, he was seething.

Craig had made no attempt to shelter his thoughts, had freely shared them. Damek knew exactly what had transpired inside Haven. He also knew his friend had neglected to mention a few pertinent details.

He studied the other four and raised one dark eyebrow. “Are you coming inside or leaving?”

Quinn motioned Damek forward. “Lead the way. I wouldn’t dare miss this.”

Damek flowed forward and the door slammed opened before he reached it. All heads turned toward the entrance, the male werewolves positioning themselves to defend the women. He ignored the growls and went straight to Meredith.

“A pleasure as always.” He took Meredith’s hand and brought it to his lips, knowing it would piss off her mate. Isaiah, predictable as always, growled louder and pulled his mate away.

“Why are you here?” Isaiah asked.

“That is not exactly welcoming. But it seems you’re not in a welcoming mood tonight.” He was angry for his friend and for himself. How many times did these wolves expect him or Craig to prove themselves? He was done. From now on, they would have to prove themselves worthy of his friendship.

“Damek,” Meredith began, but he raised his hand and she went silent. Isaiah quickly moved in front of her.

“What none of you seem to understand is that if I wanted to truly harm you there is nothing you could do to stop me.” He paced away, disappearing into the darkness, reappearing on the other side of the room.

Quinn and his small group settled in by the door but kept a close watch. Damek knew Craig could depend on them and that curbed his anger, not by much, but enough to ensure he wouldn’t do or say anything he’d regret. He missed Sonia at a time like this. She was the only voice of reason he listened to other than Craig.

“I’ve done nothing but help this pack over the years. Every time you’ve come to me with a request, I’ve done everything in my power to see it carried out. And how do you repay that? With suspicion and mistrust.”

No one spoke. The only sounds came from the hum of the coolers behind the bar, the traffic on the street, the buzz of the lights and the heavy sound of breathing.

All eyes were on Damek.

“And Craig. Puny human that he is. Excuse me, was. He’s helped track werewolf hunters, vampire hunters and accepted all of you without question. So glad you repaid him in kind.”

“He’s a newly made vampire, Damek.” Isaiah took an aggressive step forward. “And the girl is unknown. Young vampires are unstable. You can’t expect me to trust them with my pack.”

Damek shook his head, wondering why after all these long centuries he was still disappointed by people’s reaction to certain situations. Human nature—or rather werewolf nature—never seemed to change no matter the era or the place. “Not all vampires are the same. For example, the one that made Evie stalked her first.
