Chapter Twelve

Gregory pulled his car into the dirt drive of the Crazy Horse and killed the engine.

He’d spent the last half hour holding his mate, trying to comfort and reassure him. He understood how difficult it must have been for Hayden to disclose his secret, but he didn’t blame him in the least. It had been self-defense, pure and simple, and under the same circumstances, Gregory would have done the exact same thing.

It made him angry to think about what had nearly happened to Hayden, but all the more determined to ensure his mate never be put in a dangerous situation like that again, even if it meant lying to the council and putting his own life in jeopardy.

“You ready to meet everyone?”

He reached across the seat to take hold of Hayden’s hand.

Hayden chewed on his bottom lip. “Are you sure they’re okay with me staying here?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. Kelan wouldn’t have agreed to it if he didn’t want you here. You’ll like him. He’s a good alpha and a good man. You’ll like everyone here, matter o’ fact. They’re good folks, all of them.”

They got out of the car just as Kelan and Pete were coming down the porch steps to greet them. Kelan’s lips were set in a tight line, but Pete merely looked amused.

“Hayden?” Kelan reached out and shook Hayden’s hand. “Howdy. I’m Kelan. I’m the alpha here in Wolf Creek and this is Pete, one of my betas.”

“Pleased to meet you,” Hayden said quietly. “Thank you for letting me stay here.”

While he shook hands with Kelan and Pete, Hayden turned his face away, clearly trying to hide his scar. It troubled Gregory that his mate felt the need to hide, but he’d quickly learn that no one on the Crazy Horse would judge him.

Kelan smiled warmly. “Anything to help out a friend.”

“Hayden knows about our bond now,” Gregory informed them.

Kelan grinned. “Well then, I guess congratulations are in order.”

“My regards to you both,” Pete said cheerfully.

Hayden smiled back shyly.

“Thank you.”

Gregory was pleased that neither Kelan nor Pete had mentioned Hayden’s scar, even though they had to have noticed it.

“Come on, I’ll show you where you can sleep,” Kelan said.

Gregory nodded and placed a hand on Hayden’s shoulder as they started to follow Kelan across the yard.

“Kelan!”

When Gregory turned, Kelan’s mate Jake was running down the steps of the porch and heading their way.

“What is it?” Kelan asked.

“I’ve got to go to the airport to pick up Tony. I just wanted to say goodbye. I’ll see you later, okay? Hi, Gregory!”

Gregory thought he heard Kelan growl but when he looked at the alpha he was smiling, his eyes giving nothing away.

Pete snorted.

“Hi, Jake,” Gregory said. “I’d like to introduce you to my mate, Hayden. Hayden, this is Kelan’s mate, Jake.”

Hayden reached out and shook Jake’s hand but he took a step closer to Gregory’s side as he did.

“You’re human,” he blurted out.

Jake chuckled. “Yep, last time I checked. Don’t hold it against me, will you?”

Hayden’s face turned bright pink.
