“It’s time to face the music, Lottie, and you know it. It’s what you’ve been preparing for since that first hunt with the adults—since the first time you had to defend your right to rule against the men. You are the Alpha, not Paco or Luis, or even Sharon. Yeah, they elected you, as such, but wolf packs aren’t a democracy …no matter how much you want to play that game. You’ve got the brawn and the magic to turn them into quivering puppies. The election was for show. So it doesn’t matter what they want, just like the council doesn’t care what you want—’cause you’re just a puppy to them.” Another sip of water while she waited for Cara to absorb the words, just like usual. “Your problem is you don’t want to confront anyone, don’t want to make waves. Just like you hold your tongue down at the office, even though you want to—and should—knock heads some days. Just like you didn’t want Rosa, or Adam, to know how much you want to screw his brains out. No waves, no fuss …but no cajoñes, either. For the hundredth time, you really gotta get over that.” She didn’t comment on that, but Yolanda didn’t expect her to. It had been a long-standing dispute. “So, try to figure out how to tie the birds into that scenario. What do they have to do with Adam, Miss Know-it-all?”

Her friend shrugged, as though it was incredibly obvious, not taking any offense at the sarcastic tone. “Easy-peasy. The birds are the birds. They would have been here in either event. But you didn’t follow them, track ‘em down, and make them pay for their crimes …and that bugs the shit out of you. It bothers the cop in you. You stayed with Adam, stood over him …protected him, and then walked past every single iron-clad rule in your world to save his life. Face facts, Lottie. You opened your glands to bring him back—you did what killed your mom, what you swore to me on her grave you’d never allow yourself to do. You’re tied to him and you like it. You think about the birds, and up pops Adam. You talk to Will, and up pops Adam. The investigation is part of the relationship …all tied up in a neat little package with his picture on the paper. You let him kiss you because you wanted him to. How much you want to bet me you’ll tell him about your research before anyone else?” She’d shut off the truck under a low hanging tree at the entrance to a field of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush, letting the truth of the words wash over her as she watched the wind make patterns in the blooms. Her words came out as a whisper. “Fuck. I already did, Yo. I didn’t have Lucas’s number, and he was going to see him later today—”

“Pfft! You could have found the old man’s number with one call, and you know it.
