Chapter Nine

It’d been a few days since Landon had last seen Noah. They’d had to cancel their dinner plans yet again, because of his duty to the pride. Noah had been ordered to work on his day off. Landon understood it, but he didn’t like it.

There was an eerie silence to the pride. The Guardians and Protectors were working more than ever, and the pride in itself was on edge. No one knew what was going on, but everyone was assured the alpha was doing whatever he could to keep them safe.

And it was obvious something was going on.

The Guardians and Protectors were tight-lipped. Even his brother, Cole, hadn’t been told by his mate, Dane, of any threat. When Talon used his magic to give a command to keep their mouths shut…they did. It was another one of those things Landon would never understand about his adopted family unless he was changed into what they were.

Landon shook his head as he turned off the light in his office. He wouldn’t even entertain the idea of becoming a shifter. Hell, the thought had never crossed his mind until that moment. He’d heard what happened during the change, and he was certain it was worth the pain, but he didn’t think he would be shifter material. He just wasn’t built like them.

His brother and Olivia were once human, and they’d commented a few times on how much better their lives had become since they were changed. Oh, they’d also complained about the first few weeks of learning how to live with the magic of the animal inside them, and he often heard them mumbling to themselves as if they were talking to the panther. It took some getting used to, and now, he didn’t think twice when he heard them addressing the animal.

“Hey Landon, you ready?” Sophia called out as she left the breakroom. “I’m done with the end of day reports. They’re in your email.”

“Perfect, Sophia,” Landon beamed. Savage’s baby sister was a miracle worker, and he couldn’t have asked for a better office manager. “I just need to leave some notes for Amaya.”

“No rush,” she replied, returning to the front desk.

Landon chuckled when she kicked her feet up on the desk and started surfing through some social media app on her phone. He glanced over as Malaki entered the room, nodding to let him know every window and door was checked and rechecked just as he’d done every night before they closed up the clinic.

Landon left his note for the night nurse and waited for Malaki and Sophia to gather at the door so he could set the alarm. Malaki drove them straight to the pride without saying anything to them. He could sense a change in Sophia since the Guardians had gone quiet, and he knew she was still feeling the stress from her alpha and pride. He wished he could help them, but he wasn’t sure how he could get involved. The only thing he could do was patch wounds should that ever happen.
