Chapter Four

Dane entered the alpha’s home and rubbed the back of his neck while he walked toward the kitchen. The aroma made his stomach growl, but his mind wasn’t in it. Olivia and Cole were a thick presence and had taken up residency in his head ever since he’d left The Deuce.

The thought of leaving them alone at the bar didn’t settle well with him or his panther, but he couldn’t deny his alpha’s order to return to the pride. The female wolf had confessed to the healer that she had to shift after dark, and because she was uncertain about the area, Talon needed several Guardians to escort her during the night.

“You look agitated,” Ranger observed as he fell in line next to him at the table where the food was set out for them. Dane’s chest rumbled from the irritation he was feeling coming from his panther. “What’s going on with you?”

“Nothing.” Dane paused, taking a deep breath. He set the spoon back in the mashed potatoes and looked at his best friend. “I don’t know, honestly.”

“Is it a female?” Ranger asked, his voice so low only Dane could detect it. The panthers had enhanced hearing, and Dane was certain he didn’t want to spill his thoughts in the alpha’s home for everyone to hear.

“Can we discuss this later?” he asked, cutting his eyes toward the dining room where everyone was eating.

“Come by the house in the morning,” Ranger ordered.

“Will do.” Dane nodded and walked away. He found an empty chair at the other end of the table and took a seat. He didn’t even notice who was sitting next to him; he just dug into his food and kept his head down.

A hand landed on his forearm and he jerked his head to the left. Talon was sitting next to him at the head of the table, and the look on his alpha’s face was one of concern. “I’ve called your name twice.”

“I’m sorry,” Dane swallowed, “I must’ve not heard you.” Talon gave a nod, understanding that Dane’s ability to hear out of his left ear was impaired. He’d lived with the disability for as long as he could remember. Most of the time, he didn’t have any issues with the hearing loss. Except when his mind was preoccupied.

“Are you okay to go out with Noah and Booth to protect the female, Luna?” Talon took a drink of water and set his glass down. The alpha’s eyes flickered to his mate before settling back on Dane.

“Yes,” Dane nodded. “I’m ready whenever she is.”

“We are just waiting for her to let us know when.” Talon nodded toward the other end of the table. The alpha looked concerned, but he didn’t speak of his worry and finished eating.

The female wolf was picking at her food. Her eyes looked around the room with a bit of unease in her gaze. Dane noticed when she would look at Harold, the tension around her eyes would ease.

“Maybe Harold should go with us,” Dane suggested.
