Chapter Sixteen

The hurt and lost expression on Maisie’s face crushed Judd. He sure hadn’t meant to make her feel like that. He simply hadn’t wanted her to leave. It wasn’t just for her sake, or for Cash’s. It was for his wolf’s. Okay, if he had to admit it, then it was for his own sake. He felt there was something unfinished between them. He took in her messy blonde hair, the way she stuck her jaw out in determination but, at the same time, pouted with sadness.

God, but he wanted to kiss that pout away. He’d love to put a smile on her face.

“Let me help. I have people who can guide you with Cash. He can grow up with...” He kept the words his own kind to himself. She probably didn’t need to keep hearing how different Cash was. Though hadn’t he just already said so? Damn. Damn. Damn. He just wasn’t that good with words. Actions, those he could handle. Words, they threw him for a loop.

She exhaled heavily, like the weight of the world sat on her shoulders. Judd imagined it did, what with worry about her baby boy. “What about Paul?”

He had no clue. “Let me take care of MacIntosh.”

“Now you’re talking my language,” Gabe finally spoke again.

Judd turned to regard him. He’d practically forgotten Gabe was there, he’d been so wrapped up in Maisie. “What are you saying?”

“Lemme see this pup.” Gabe took Cash from Maisie’s arms.

She looked like she was in a catatonic state, which worried Judd even more. The pup allowed the transfer to Gabe’s arms without a fuss. In fact, if anything, he seemed calmer than before. Not for the first time, Judd wondered exactly what Gabe was. He was certain he wasn’t a shifter. Unless he masked that on a permanent basis. Sure, hunter’s block could hide a shifter’s animal scent, but would anyone go around wearing that all the time?

“You’re an interesting one, little wolf.” Gabe held the pup at eye level, studying his features.

The little wolf yipped a happy sound.

Gabe laughed. “Yeah, I see you, too.”

Judd cocked a brow. What the hell did that mean? The reticent Bonepile owner rarely had much to say, and emotion was given sparingly. And this was the second time he’d heard Gabe laugh. And the laugh he heard a few moments ago was the first one ever.

Gabe handed the pup back to Maisie. “Hopefully, he’s better than his father and his grandfather.” He started to walk toward a mobile home that was actually several mobile homes strung together, then turned and glanced back at them. “What are you waiting for? Follow me.”

Maisie stared at Judd for answers, questions readily apparent on her face. He shrugged. He had never been inside. He didn’t have the foggiest clue what Gabe was up to.

Gabe stepped onto a deck which looked like it might collapse under the combined weight of the party of four. It squeaked and let out a protest with every step. He held a door open.
