Chapter Nine

He was getting absolutely nowhere.

While he could feel something blocking him from fully investigating Enforcer Hollis Becker’s magic, Torren couldn’t tell if it was from the man himself or from an outside force. “You do understand that The Council intends to execute you if you don’t come clean with me, right?”

Becker glared at him, his upper lip curling over his teeth. “Those are my pups, and I want them back.”

He’d been spewing the same garbage for the better part of an hour. Torren might have believed him if he hadn’t met the twins for himself. While they were certainly wolf-shifters, they were hybrids.

He hadn’t delved any deeper to determine what that other part was, but with their mother being a wolf-shifter, there was no way the Enforcer could have fathered them.

“They are not pureblood shifters. How many times do I have to say this?”

“Teegan loves me. She came with me willingly. You have no right to keep me here.”

“Can ya not do a spell on him or somethin’?” a voice asked from the other end of the corridor.

Torren turned to see Bannon Murphy striding toward him, his mate, Galen, marching right beside him. “What are you doing here?”

“I want to try again,” Galen answered, elbowing Bannon in the ribs when he started to speak. “We’ve bonded now, and my powers are stronger. I’d like to give it another shot.”

It was obvious from the scowl on the shifter’s face that Bannon did not like this. It was also obvious that they had argued about Galen’s presence there and Bannon had lost. Torren, however, was grateful for any help he could get. “Be my guest.”

“I’d like to touch him. I think I could get a better read.”

“Absolutely not,” Bannon growled, winding his arm around Galen’s waist and pulling him back from the bars of the cell. “You’ll not be goin’ near him.”

Galen rolled his eyes and huffed. “Torren, could you maybe sedate him so that Mr. Overprotective here will calm the hell down?” Chuckling under his breath, Torren uttered a simple sleep spell and watched unflinchingly as Becker fell to the concrete floor right where he stood. Luckily, that was near the door of the cell, so at least Galen wouldn’t need to go inside.

“See, love? Perfectly safe.” He patted Bannon’s arm where it still clutched at his chest and whispered a few soothing words to his mate before pecking him on the lips. “You know I can help or you wouldn’t have brought me. I love you, but I need you to trust me.”

“It’s not you I’m havin’ a problem trustin’, a ghrá.”

“Then you’ll just have to come with me so you can protect me from the big, bad wolf.” He grinned mischievously and tugged Bannon forward. Slowly and carefully, he knelt on the floor, giving Bannon a reassuring smile when the man growled deeply. Then he reached through the bars and curled his slender fingers around Becker’s wrist.

His eyelids closed, his long lashes fluttering against the tops of his cheeks, and he shook his head fractionally.
