Kay went back to the infirmary once Noem was asleep. He’d been tempted to slip into bed with him, but he hadn’t. Noem hadn’t invited him, couldn’t invite him, and even if he had, Kay had things to do.

He wasn’t surprised to see Dominic Nash was still there, sitting in a chair next to an occupied bed. He was talking softly with another man Kay had seen around, and when Dominic noticed Kay, he waved him over.

“This is Nate, my beta. He’s the one in command after me.”

Kay nodded. “I know. Troy explained.”

“I don’t have to ask why you’re here.”

“I got a call from my partner. She said the herd she lives with was attacked.” Kay had never felt more scared. He hadn’t been working with Laura for long, but he liked her, and she was patient with him. She teased him out of his bad moods, seemingly uncaring of the way he snapped at her, and she’d made his move easier, had made him feel welcome in the station.

“It was. The alpha is here. Noem healed him, so he’ll be fine, but it was a close call.”

Kay’s gaze went to the man lying on the bed next to Dominic, but Dominic shook his head. “No. This is Gareth. He’s human. He’d infiltrated the hunters.”

“He was found out,” Nate said, as if it weren’t obvious.

Kay nodded. “Do you know what happened?”

Laura hadn’t been able to tell him much. The herd didn’t live together in the same house like the pride did, but all their houses were on the same street. They were isolated from the rest of the small town they lived in, so it had taken the police a bit to get there. Kay knew the pride had probably gotten there sooner.

“The hunters attacked. They went after the alpha, thinking that with him down they’d be able to kill the rest of the herd easily, but they hadn’t counted on the beta. She guided her enforcers in an attack against the hunters.”

“What about him?” Kay asked, tilting his chin toward Gareth.

“He knew there was an attack planned, but from what we now know, only certain hunters, the ones in charge, know where and when exactly they happen. Gareth had infiltrated the hunters only a few days ago, so he wasn’t privy to that info.”

“They’re attacking closer and closer to the pride.” Kay wasn’t a pride member, so he didn’t know about all the attacks, but it wasn’t hard to see the traces of them even in the human police files. He knew what to look for—missing people, injuries, fires.

“Yes. That’s why we hoped Gareth could help us. We thought the hunters would stay away for a while after they attacked the pride, but they’re just moving on to weaker groups.”

“Did he manage to find out anything?”

Dominic sighed, and he’d never looked so old. Kay knew the man was probably older than he looked—Troy had explained that too—but he had no idea how old. Dominic looked like he couldn’t be more than in his middle to late thirties, but worry was leaving signs.
