Chapter Seven

The next morning was icy cold, and the only reason I knew was because the edges of everyone’s hair had frosted over night. Everyone but mine, because of the blessed opal. Doran was earning serious brownie points.

Liam shifted and slid back into his clothes.

“I thought Peter was going to teach you how to do that without having to strip. Not that I mind the peep show.” I winked at him, but he didn’t smile.

“We’ve got to go now. Right now.”

Surprised, I let him all but drag me through the snow until we were jogging. “Northeast,” I said, letting this strange behavior slide. Mostly because I wanted to get going anyway and find the fur-covered asshats.

We had jogged for about four miles when Liam finally slowed his pace. “The pack is not what we thought.”

Without preamble, he told me all he’d seen in his dream with Peter. The blood, the gore, and the unmitigated attacks on humans, the vows they’d made and the consequence of those vows.

I rocked back on my heels, knowing my eyes were wide. “That was why Peter stopped me. He thought I would bring down the wrath of this element thing?”

“I’m guessing. But we are not a part of their pack. We were welcomed as guests, not full members.”

“The children didn’t make those vows, I’d lay money on it,” I said. “But they aren’t going to make it to adulthood. And that’s what they need to do.”

“No, they aren’t. But Peter is hoping the next generation will be strong enough to overcome these desires. Or they won’t be born with them at all.”

We picked up a jog again in tandem and the energy flowed between us, a give and take of strength and stamina. Was this because we were mates? I wondered, but didn’t question it. Just another perk to being with Liam.

Liam pulled me out of my thoughts. “Why would it matter if they were adults or not?”

“If they grew into adults”—I jumped over a log and landed in a snowdrift on the other side—“they could protect their families without worrying about the vows. They could keep them all safe.”

Except for the sound of our footsteps in the snow, silence echoed around us. “Maybe we need to find werewolves who would be willing to protect the pack.”

“You think that’s possible?”

He didn’t answer and I knew what that meant. We both did. Becoming a werewolf only accentuated traits you already had. Which was why Liam had become über protective and a champion of justice. His police training and true belief in right prevailing had only heightened with becoming a wolf.

But how many of those kinds of people got turned into werewolves? Not as many as the assholes who were looking for power, looking to find a way to destroy their enemies and rule with an iron fist.

Shit. “We start with the hunters,” I said. “That will at least buy the pack time.”

“You still want to help them.” It wasn’t a question, yet I knew what he meant.
