CHAPTER 16

~ AIDAN ~

Looking back on it, I thought I should have known that there was more trouble with the team than just their normal jerkiness. But with my pack, pretty much everything equaled some kind of trouble and it was beginning to become extremely hard to see the real problems when they surfaced. They were all so testy and high-strung right now that even looking at someone the wrong way caused an issue. So when Jared failed to show at the pack’s headquarters, I really hadn’t thought much of it. I figured he was pissed off, and not showing was his version of throwing a tantrum.

Except this wasn’t just a tantrum. Whatever the problem was, it went further than Jared being pissed off at me. I hadn’t wanted to believe what Tommy uncovered, but after listening to Landon tell Jade to stay away from Jared, I was sure this really did have something to do with the entire team.

Awesome. Another problem to solve. Just what I need.

I pulled up to a stop light, and glanced at Dominic in the passenger seat. He looked as if he were somewhere else, completely lost in his own thoughts. His face was utterly blank, not guarded as usual, and it made him look a lot younger than eighteen.

It only took about five minutes for everyone to agree that I needed to chat with Jade’s dad, and get a briefing on the cougar situation. As far as Jeff was concerned, I’d sent him back to the cougars to gather information for me and if I never bothered to ask him what he found out, sooner or later he would clue in that something was up.

It didn’t take long to set it up. Jeff had been more than happy to meet, and within fifteen minutes, I was back in my car. And although I tried to convince Jade to come with me, she’d ended up hanging back at the headquarters with the guys claiming she wanted to work on strategies.

The light changed, and I eased off the clutch, feathering the gas. After another moment of silence, I said, “So, Jared’s gone. Tommy said that he thinks the guys forced him to leave for a bit.”

Dominic blinked and pulled in a loud breath. “Yeah, figured as much,” he said. He fiddled with the window button, letting the glass fall an inch and then rise again. “Maybe it’s a good thing. Gives you both time to simmer down.”

“I don’t need time to simmer down,” I said, making a right on Clearmont Drive. “I promised Jade I wouldn’t touch him and I won’t. God, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need him. We need all of them right now.”

Dominic grunted, and cut me a sideways look that clearly said he didn’t agree. Whether his disagreement was about me needing to cool down or us needing Jared, I really wasn’t sure.

The park came into view and I pulled into the lot, parking at the far end. It
