I'd given him my most innocent look and, since I don't have an innocent look, it turned into a scowl. "I've no idea what you mean."

I tried to walk past him but he stopped me with another kiss, curling my toes. When he pulled away, I gazed up at him with hazy eyes to see him smirking at me. Busted!

"So. How many did you have?" I'd shot a quick glance to the tray to see if he could tell by looking how many were missing. He raised a brow at me.

"Two-ish." I glimpsed at the tray again. They looked really, really good. Marjan's pastries were baked fresh every day and had I said they were extremely tasty?

"I'm not sure how two became four," Ushna commented as we walked to my office.

How was I supposed to keep count? With the house expanded, Corey had wanted me to move to a bigger office. I refused and kept my old one. If I needed to see that many people at once I used the conference room. My office had good memories, especially the desk. I ran my hands over the gouges in the mahogany surface and smiled to myself. I looked forward to making similar memories after the pups were born.

"Are you okay?" Stan asked. He was miserable, like a kicked puppy. I wanted to comfort him but I stayed seated. I was his alpha first, his friend second when his behavior had threatened safety of the tribe.

"Nothing a little nap couldn't take care of." Ushna growled, "You would've been fine if you didn't have to deal with…"

"How are you?" I interrupted. "You've been very tense since you moved here. Did you and Gregori talk?"

Stan slouched in his chair, his dark hair hiding his eyes when he glanced down. "We did."

"You need to give me more than that. You issued a challenge to me today. Intentional or not, I have to deal with that."

"Are you sending me away?" Stan paled under his bronze complexion, voice soft. Gods, I wanted to choke him. Where were his strength, his conviction, and his selfesteem?

"No. I'll take you out back and accept your challenge, kick your ass, and then when I'm finished, Ushna will kick your ass for working me up again." Stan's gaze snapped to mine in horror. "Will that suffice for your punishment? Will you stop punishing yourself over something you had no control over? Or do I need to have Corey line up his captains and let them have a turn? When will it be enough to appease your sense of duty?"

"You don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh? So you didn't find and save Gregori from death? He didn't beg you not to tell? You didn't take him to Atlanta and hide him? The two of you didn't have an affair before college?"

Stan's head fell into his hands, "Please, stop."

"So Gregori lied to me? None of that happened?"

Stan stared, his dark eyes agonized.

I picked up a pen and rolled it casually between my fingers.
