Chapter Twelve

FIONA

Over the next couple of days, Fiona began to get the feeling that things were starting to come apart.

The first blow was the loss of two members of the Wild Grizzlies. There was no discussion and no warning; they were just gone one morning. Fiona sat through the entire breakfast waiting for them to appear, but they never did.

The Grizzlies had clearly discussed it already. None of them looked surprised by their packmates’ absence. She thought they looked a little unhappy, a little taken aback, but she couldn’t blame them for that. If two of her wolves had gone missing, she would have been deeply bothered by it too.

She tried to see it as a good thing. With two of the Grizzlies gone, their numbers were even—five bears, five wolves. But it wasn’t a good thing. Not really. She wanted numbers, no matter which pack they were from. She wanted them to outnumber the Feral Fangs. She couldn’t be sure that they would, and losing two made her even less certain.

“Where did they go?” she asked Owen when she finally got him alone in the woods later that day. She couldn’t wait for him to answer—her hands were already underneath his clothes, exploring, finding the now familiar sensitive spots that she knew would light him up. But she needed to ask her questions all the same.

“I sent them home,” Owen said.

“Why? Why would you do something like that?” She stepped back, shocked by his answer. “We need all the hands on deck that we can get, Owen.”

“I know.” He hesitated. “They found out. About us.”

Fiona inhaled sharply. “How?”

“Just by paying attention.” He sounded miserable. “They saw us go off into the woods together one too many times, I suppose, and then they guessed. They know me too well.”

“What do you mean, they know you too well? This can’t possibly be something you’ve ever done before.”

“No, I’m not saying that,” he said. “I just mean they know that I wouldn’t go off into the woods with you without taking someone with me or letting someone know where I was going and when to expect me back if I was actually afraid of you. It let them know that things weren’t as they seemed. That I was hiding something.”

“And you couldn’t make up a lie?”

“I tried,” he said. “I couldn’t come up with anything they’d believe. I had to send them away, or they would have acted weird around the others, and then it would only have been a matter of time before the truth came out.”

She sighed. “We have to stop this, don’t we?”

“I don’t know,” he said. “I mean, yes, logically, we do, but...I don’t know if I’ll be any good to the pack if I’m trying to resist you at the same time, Fiona. It’ll be all I can think about. You know?”

“I know.” She felt the same way. Even now, even in the face of this new problem, she was already working her hands beneath his shirt again.
