Chapter Five

Silas arrived accompanied by a handful of pack mates. Taylor recognized two of the larger males as his betas. She had only ever met them in passing and couldn’t remember their names, if anyone had ever even told her.

Olivia was there, too, as well as Silas’s youngest sister, Feather. Though she couldn’t be much older than twelve or thirteen, Feather was one of the sweetest and hardest working shifters on Taylor’s farming crew, and Taylor adored her. The native heritage that was part of her family’s bloodline was more pronounced in Feather. She had long, willowy limbs, dark skin and eyes, and sleek black hair. Embracing her name, she always wore a decorative headband of feathers.

Tonight, Feather went all out, wearing not only an elaborate headdress, but also a long, flowing cape of strung goose feathers and beads. Taylor made a mental note to ask her who made it, because she absolutely had to have one for herself.

Silas grew handsomer with each year. Taylor remembered the first time she’d seen him. He’d been good looking for a boy, but still going through the awkward transition from adolescent to man. Now, three years later, the transformation was complete. Years of eating well on Halcyon territory had bulked up his once wiry limbs and he had one of those long, muscled chests that Taylor had only ever seen on movie stars, models, and shifter males.

Framed by chocolate-colored hair that now reached his shoulders, Silas’s face was classically handsome. Two small scars, one under his left eye and the other on his jawline, only served to make him look more rugged and mature. In the years she’d known him though, Silas’s eyes had never changed. They were amber, a common color among wolf shifters. What was so striking about them was that they were not only wise, but also guileless. Silas always had the look of someone who was too busy analyzing everything to spend any time plotting.

At the moment, Silas’s gaze was fixed on Carly. His eyes belied little of what he was thinking, but his lips were pressed tightly together, as if he’d just bitten into a lemon.

Silas’s displeasure was to be expected, but Taylor was confused when she saw that Carly looked equally averse to Silas. She stared back at him, her jaw clenched and her shoulders stiff.

Hale was closer to the Whiteriver wolves, but he made no attempt to greet them, so it was Taylor and Alder who reached them first. When Silas saw Alder, his expression sobered, as it always did. While Silas and Hale’s relationship was combative at best, Silas was clearly intimidated by Alder.

“Welcome,” Taylor said. “It’s so good to have you all here.”

Silas rarely spoke to Taylor even when she wasn’t at Alder’s side, and so she wasn’t put off when he gave her only a nod of acknowledgement. Feather more than compensated for her brother, rushing up to Taylor to give her a big hug.

“We missed you in the fields today,” Feather said.

“I missed you all, too.
