Chapter Five

Maddox wanted to grab Ellie and Charlotte and run, leaving Logan to deal with the mess. He couldn’t, though, because sometimes being a dad meant being more than himself.

The black wolf, Duncan as Charlotte had called him, stood up as he pulled on his pants. Pants that another female wolf handed him from behind a boulder. Now that Maddox was slightly calmer, he could scent four distinct other scents.

Central scents.

The Centrals he’d known long before Caym had come into the picture. In fact, he wasn’t sure he’d scented that smell since he’d been forced to go to the Central den when Ellie’s brother, Corbin, had scarred his face, thinking he was North.

Connections.

Paths.

They all crossed one another with such frequency that Maddox wasn’t sure fate wasn’t asking for a kick in the nuts. Or maybe it was the other way around where fate was concerned.

From the way Charlotte seemed to lean into Ellie but still want to care for this Duncan, Maddox had a feeling things weren’t what they seemed at first glance when it came to the Centrals. Really, though, nothing was ever as it seemed when it came to the rival Pack of wolves.

What worried Maddox most, though, was that this Pack wasn’t supposed to be a Pack at all. No, it shouldn’t even exist at this point.

“Ellie, take Charlotte back to the den,” he said, his voice as smooth as possible.

“Please not yet, Dad.”

Maddox barely resisted the urge to close his eyes at his daughter’s pleas. “Stay behind me, Ellie.”

“I’m staying for only as long as I feel relative safety. Then we’re all leaving. The enforcers are here, and I can feel Kade coming. They can take care of it. It’s their jobs. We need to be selfish for once. We need to get our baby home.”

“I know, Ellie mine. But these people…they’re something to her. We need to feel it out.”

He heard her inward sigh and broke for her. “I know. I know. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

His mate went behind him anyway, and he loved her all the more for it. Logan and Kade, who had come up when he and Ellie had been sending their thoughts to one another, flanked him, their chins held high.

Duncan bared his throat, a clear sign of submission.

“I mean you no harm. I mean the child no harm. She was Martha’s. I wouldn’t hurt her.”

Martha.

Maddox had never known Charlotte’s mother’s name. The little girl never spoke about her, even though they’d given the open space and comfort she’d needed to feel free in order to do so. She’d come into their lives on the wave of panic and torment, but they’d done all they could for her. Or at least he thought he had.

They hadn’t known of this Duncan.

What else hadn’t they known?

What kind of parent did that make him?

Yes, it made no sense. Charlotte hadn’t told him so he couldn’t have known. But the irrational father part of his brain wanted him to know everything. Even the things he could not possibly have known.
