“Spill,” Riley said as he rounded on Bryce. “I know damn well Pa did not send you all the way out here for milk.”

“Suspicious, are we?” Bryce teased, knowing Riley was probably going to hand him his ass for fucking with him. The man didn’t have one damn humorous bone in his body.

“No. I know my family like the back of my hand,” Riley said as he leaned back casually against Bryce’s truck, his arms folding over his chest. “So, why are you out here?”

Bryce gave a nod, knowing he couldn’t fool his eldest brother. He scanned the village, seeing a few elven men glancing his way curiously, and spotted Chey standing over by the outhouse, talking with Max. “I see the grey wolves made it here.”

“They came in last night. I wasn’t aware they were coming, though. Maverick should have told me he was sending medical help as well as someone to train the sentinels.”

Bryce looked over his shoulder at Riley, his brows furrowing. “Sentinels?”

Riley squatted down, picking up a stick from the ground and tossing it. “They have a few men who are supposed to guard the village. But they aren’t doing a bang-up job. Vampires keep attacking because of the feys’ sweet-smelling blood. Eagle has agreed to train the sentinels so they can defend their people better.”

“Huh, I didn’t know about that. I thought Ahm was supposed to only find a leader and a healer for them.”

Riley shrugged, gazing over to where Sterling was standing. Bryce could see the love gleaming in his oldest brother’s eyes as he studied his mate. It did Bryce’s heart good to know Riley had finally found his mate. But he also knew that Riley wasn’t going to skip down the road to blissful mating happily. The man was going to grouch his way down the entire path.

No matter how much he and the twins had tried to pull the proverbial stick out of Riley’s ass over the years, his brother had squeezed his butt cheeks tightly and kept it lodged deeply. It was a shame, too. The few times Riley did laugh or joke, Bryce found the man witty, and his humor was well timed. He would have made an excellent prankster if he hadn’t been so moody.

“It’s only been one day. Besides”—Riley stood, brushing his hands off—“this place isn’t so bad. It lacks modern conveniences, but I’ve dealt with worse.”

“Pa sent me to ask how bad the attacks are. He wants to know if you need Maverick to send some of his sentries.” Bryce hadn’t been looking forward to giving that bit of news to Riley. The man prided himself on taking care of his family, and Bryce wasn’t sure if Riley would be pissed that help was offered. Sometimes Riley could be too damn proud.

“I’m not sure, Bryce. There was an attack last night, but Max, Eagle, and I handled it. Until I see how bad it really is, tell Maverick to hold off on help.
