Felicity remains in human form as she leads us through the blistering sunlight. I don’t blame her—I don’t like ruining my clothes if I don’t have to, either. Her wolves, however, remain on four legs and surround us… a little too closely. They pin us in, giving us no chance to run even if we had the inclination to do so.

But where would we run to? The landscape is beautiful here, rocky and slightly wooded, but we don’t know the terrain like they do. We’d have a hard time escaping and covering our tracks, especially with an entire pack breathing down our necks.

I walk hand in hand with Frost, while Malix brushes up against my other side. I’m still wary, still worrying over Frost’s safety, which, surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar wolves, feels as tenuous as his link to sanity.

As if he can sense my thoughts, Malix brushes against me again and meets my gaze. He gives me a little half-smile that goes a long way toward easing my mind. On his other side, even Kian doesn’t appear to be overly worried—although it’s hard for me to get a handle on his actual emotions in this moment, since his expression is so stony.

Even though Felicity left our possible truce open-ended for now, none of my three men seem to be brooding on the situation. They’ve all known her for a long time, so it stands to reason that they can read her moods better than I can. That train of thought makes a new question pop into my head.

If Quinton was once almost like a surrogate father to the three of them, was his mate like a mother to them?

It never really occurred to me that coming here and seeing her might dredge up memories for them. All three of the guys lost their biological mothers to the damage Quinton did to them in his quest to create shadow shifters. When Felicity left, they lost her, too.

Although, as with most toxic relationships, Quinton probably did a great job of turning them against her.

“Hey, alpha,” Malix says, doing that thing where he breaks the silence because he can’t stand being quiet. “You still watch soap operas?”

Felicity’s chuckle carries back to us over her wolves. “Do you still piss sitting down?”

Kian chokes on a laugh that he tries to hide behind one hand, and even Frost cracks a smile. It’s such a beautiful sight that I almost stop in my tracks just to stare at it.

Thank god for Malix’s ridiculous need for humor and conversation.

“Low blow, alpha,” Malix says in a mock wounded voice. “I was eight then. Shit. You don’t know me.”

As he and Felicity continue to banter back and forth, relief fills me. We’re safe. For now, anyway. Frost has proven he’s not a danger, even though all three of us were ready to defend him to the death.

I tighten my fingers around Frost’s, thinking of that moment when Kian’s unspoken challenge hung in the air, while we waited for Felicity to decide on her next course of action.
