CHAPTER 10

The streets of Barvale were decorated like something out of a Hallmark movie. Old fashioned lampposts lined the sidewalks with brightly lit wreathes with huge, bright, red velvet bows hanging from their fronts.

Every store window was covered in tinsel and painted with fake snow and glitter. Signs boasting sales and holiday specials filled every bench and door. There was a huge, undecorated evergreen tree set up right in the middle of the town square. Roxie figured that was the tree that would be lit that Saturday night. The night of the winter solstice.

The interior of Bowie’s truck was filled with that clean ice and woodsy fresh scent of him. Delicious, she breathed him in softly so as not to draw attention to what she was doing, but the fact was she couldn’t get enough of that smell. It was quiet now between the two of them. As if the truths he’d imparted were stuck like a wall between them.

He probably thought she was angry or something after everything he’d said. After all, he’d said some pretty epic news with her. She was saddened by the way his old Clan had treated him. Wanted to cry for what had happened to his parents. It was tragic and terrible, but he was not.

She had a feeling no one had ever told him that before and she wanted to yell it from the rooftops. His father was crazed, and his mother had needed help. Clearly that Clan where he’d been born had not given them the help they needed. Instead both had died, and Bowie had been largely ignored.

How he could be so kind and sweet in spite of it all, she did not know, but she was glad. Glad, he’d proved them all wrong by becoming his own man. It was silly, but she was proud of him.

When he’d told her he suspected she was an Alpha, she’d scoffed at the idea. And yet it wasn’t entirely unbelievable. When had her brother ever been able to tell her what to do? Not even when they were kids.

Thomas Winters was known for being a flirtatious playboy and a slacker. Her brother had never mistreated her. He was just not the serious type. And yet their father had declared Tommy would be his heir at a Skulk meeting five years ago.

Roxanne remembered feeling slightly miffed by the obvious chauvinism, but she’d been expecting it since birth practically. But in all honesty, the idea that she was a natural born Alpha never entered her mind.

Sure, she was able to wave off her father’s commands easily, but she just thought it was because he never used his Alpha powers with her. Oh my! Had he been manipulating her this entire time?

Roxie frowned as she thought back to when she was a teenager. That was when she’d started to feel bad about not having a boyfriend. She’d always assumed it was because, as a curvier girl, Fox Shifters simply weren’t attracted to her.

Many of the other females in her Skulk were trim and svelte, the total opposite of Roxanne’s natural body type.
