Dale yanked on his jeans one leg at a time and with purpose. He might have run his beasts damn legs off, but he was still pumped with the knowledge that his mate had rejected him, and so damn forcibly. He knew why, she was in shock and hurting, and he wanted nothing more than to comfort her, but right now that might only hurt her more. He could only hope that when she worked through this whole thing in her mind, she might just hold out a glimmer of hope for their pairing on the other side of that.

“You took her to the vampire?”Rafferty strolled into the kitchen and eyed his Alpha looking for clues as to what had transpired. He didn’t much like what he saw. There was a haunted look within his alpha’s eyes and that tugged at his heart more than reliving that night eighteen years ago within his mind as he waited for news had done, although those events still caused him great sadness.

There was a long silence between them, silence that neither man felt necessary to burden with words. But one of them had to blink first and Dale knew it wouldn’t be the elder, he was too damn stubborn.

“What do you know old man?”Dale demanded.

“More than I wished I did, believe me.”Rafferty blinked in a way that Dale couldn’t have imagined. The elders shoulders sagged slightly, as if under the strain of a great knowledge, and that didn’t bode well. When he started for the kitchen table and slowly lowered himself into one of the straight back chairs, he did it with an aged posture that Dale had never seen him carry before.

“I’ll get the scotch, you tell the facts.”Dale stalked across the room. He grabbed two glasses and a bottle from the side and strolled back to the table. By the time he’d poured two glasses of Dutch courage, Rafferty looked even more in need of a drink. His hand shook slightly as he
