“So.... Will you take the case, then?”

The dark-haired lawyer behind the desk looked up from his notes. A slight frown creased his forehead, giving his youthful face an otherwise severe look. His deep emerald eyes glittered with warning, though his smile was soft. “What made you think I wouldn’t?”

Head bowed, the client fiddled with the hat in his hand and stuttered, “Nothing, just...” He paused, unable – or unwilling – to go on. The rest of the confession came out in a whisper. “Everyone else refused when they saw the name of the defendant. I thought you would, too.”

“You thought wrong.” Another smile, this time to take the bite out of his words.

The client stared at the run-down carpet, clutching the woolen hat in his hands. “I’m a simple man, sir. But, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. For my kids, and my wife...” A sob clogged his throat, and he stopped talking again.

By the time he looked up, the lawyer was holding out his hand for him to shake. “Let’s take this bastard down, once and for all.”

Trembling, the client took the offered hand, and a deal was struck.

Later that evening, Finn McConnell stared out the foggy window of his office. The city at his feet was buzzing with noise, as it always was. The human part of him wanted to mix with others, interact and enjoy life with his kin. Yet the darker part, the primal part, knew it was but a wishful intention.

He had willfully chosen this path. Being a solicitor, taking pro bono cases, didn’t mean a lot of money, but it did mean justice was served. And Finn craved the rules, cared to make them respected.

As if a reminder, his landline rang. Once, twice. Finn waited for the third ring, and it never came. Satisfied with the signal, he opened a small drawer and pulled out a faded-looking cellphone. Pressing a key, he waited as it speed-dialed the pre-programmed number to another burner phone. “What is it, Ronan? I’m in the middle of a case.”

“The pack needs to meet tonight, boss. Brian found his mate, and you need to approve it.”

Finn let out a chuckle, turning to glance out the window of his office. It had been a while since he’d witnessed the oaths of mating between two of his pack. He’d been gone too long... “Eager, is he?”

A booming laugh resounded on the other line. “That’s my little brother, mate. He’s always eager.”

Rolling his eyes, Finn nodded to his reflection. “Call it, but make it before sunrise. And do me a favor, will you? Instruct them both on what goes on. I don’t want to have to explain hand-fasting to some pups again.”

Another laugh, then Ronan hung up. Finn went back to staring at his reflection. Why wasn’t he with his pack, leading them? Another alpha would have. Instead, he was kilometers away – towns away, even. Fighting for a legal justice that only humans cared about.
