Wade stepped into the Full Moon Saloon. Despite his usual routine of partying as much as possible during rodeo season, he’d had too much preoccupying him. Even that night, he wasn’t interested in getting wasted or finding women to cozy up to. There was only one thing on his mind.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Jesse asked as they sat at a table near the back. “Levi is going to be pissed if you get yourself into another bar fight.”

“I don’t give a shit,” Wade responded, but that was precisely why he’d brought Jesse along. The man had settled down a lot over the last few months, and he had a lot riding on the line, considering he had a mate at home and a child on the way. He’d keep Wade in check and stop him from doing anything stupid. “I do, for Levi’s sake, but in the end, I’ll do whatever I need to.”

Jesse glanced around the room. “Then I’ll just hope that you find the son of a bitch soon, since I don’t have a lot of time. I don’t want to leave you here alone, considering the circumstances.”

“I can handle it. Don’t worry about that.” But Jesse was absolutely right. If the lions had broken into his barn and cut Cash’s stirrup leather, then they could very well be after him next. The risk was doubled if they figured Wade might choose a new roping partner instead of giving up. Jesse was relatively safe, since he had no plans of entering the rodeo.

“Fair enough. I guess that just leaves us to wonder if we’re actually going to find them here, or if we should’ve checked the arena first. If this is a large pride, then they’re all over town,” Jesse reasoned.

Wade was scanning the room. Shaw was behind the bar, as always. That wasn’t unexpected at all, and with so many tourists in town, he probably didn’t let any of his employees run the place alone. Some of the regulars were lined up on their stools, hanging out with a beer and waiting to see who happened to wander in.

“Yes,” he finally said, realizing he’d been so busy looking around that he hadn’t answered his friend. “They probably are, but I’m pretty sure they were here last weekend. Some of the faces I saw at the arena are the same ones I’d seen here. Then there’s always the fact that the Full Moon is one of the most popular bars in town, especially for shifters.”

“All very reasonable,” Jesse noted.

“Try not to sound so impressed,” Wade replied.

They continued to watch the room, and Wade knew his brother would be teasing him if he had any clue he was doing this. Of course, Wade hadn’t been about to tell Levi what he was up to. The sheriff wouldn’t take kindly to Wade taking the matter into his own hands. If the mountain lions were in fact trying to take out their adversaries, then maybe it was a matter for the police.
