CHAPTER SIX—Jules

Wolfhaven’s one and only funeral home had changed since the last time Jules had seen it, but just walking in brought back memories like it was yesterday. She expected to see Hector Reed, the funeral director who had helped her make all the arrangements for her parents, but the secretary told her he’d retired.

Hector had been kind to her, she remembered, and she was a little disappointed he wasn’t there. But she also hadn’t been looking forward to reliving those memories with him, having flashbacks of sitting across from him talking about what kind of caskets to purchase and what kind of flowers to put on them. She already had enough of a sense of déjà vu sitting in the waiting room.

She still couldn’t quite believe Stuart was gone.

Her phone buzzed, and she checked it, smiling to see a text from Kai.

Sure you’re okay? I can be there in five minutes if you need me.

She texted back: You’re sweet. But you handle the site. I got this. It’s the least I can do for him. The last thing, I guess...

That thought brought tears to her eyes and she blinked them back, glancing around the empty waiting room. There was only the receptionist, and she imagined she was used to seeing a lot of tears. There were several strategically placed boxes of Kleenex around the room.

I’m so sorry, baby. Promise me you’re okay? I can leave the guys to deal with this if I have to.

One set of the bleachers they’d installed for the tournament had collapsed on one end during weight testing and they had to go back to the manufacturer. This had left Kai scrambling to get another set delivered and set up in time. She did kind of want him there, just for moral support, but she knew this whole tournament thing was for her ranch—despite everything he kept saying about mutually beneficial arrangements—and what he was doing right then was all for her.

Jules squared her shoulders, texting Kai back. I promise. I’ll be home soon.

Cass had offered to come, too, but she had so many people coming in from all over, she was having a tough time finding room for them all. Wolfhaven’s two motels and one hotel were completely booked, and several of the surrounding towns’ hotels had sold out as well that weekend. Cass also had all her family in town, including distant relatives they hadn’t seen in years. The Wilde clan even had shifters coming in from other continents—Cass had managed to use the tournament as an excuse to have a sort of shifter family reunion.

That meant she had a house full of people, though, and Jules didn’t feel right dragging her away from it. Besides, Cass had never liked Stuart. Or, really, she’d never thought he was good for Jules. And she couldn’t really argue with that, could she? If Cass knew what Jules now knew—that Stuart had been behind her parents’ deaths—she’d be even more angry at him.

But to her credit, Cass hadn’t said, “I told you so.
