Archer had…family. Hellhound family?

Keeping a step back and to the side of her lover in case she had to fight again, Reena watched with interest. She could see the family resemblance between the two men. It was more striking when they were shifted as was the case with lycans, but she could see it in human form now. Both were tall, with short dark hair and the same set to their eyes. She’d always thought he looked like a male version of his mother, but now she could see another bloodline at work.

“Holy crap, we never thought…”

Archer lifted one eyebrow, his gaze riveted to the man in front of him. “You never thought what? Who are you?”

“I’m Jed…Davis.” The other hound stepped forward, offering his hand. “Your father was…I’m your uncle, lad.”

Uncle? Reena blinked. Okay, Hellhounds aged well because Jed looked barely a few years older than Archer himself.

“My uncle?” Archer didn’t take the hand, looking around the small group as they crowded closer. “Sorry, bud. After that welcome, you expect that to make it all a-okay and we’ll go off for barbecue and beers? Screw that. You were beating on my woman. You think I’m gonna let that go?”

Jed cleared his throat and looked discomforted. “That I apologize for. If it’s any consolation, she’s a hell of a fighter. Surprised me.” He looked around Archer at Reena and offered a small smile. “You haven’t got hound blood by any chance, have you, my dear?”

She shook her head. “Sorry. Just mean as hell wolf blood.”

He nodded. “Still. Good fight.”

Archer altered position, angling himself between her and Jed. “My father was…whatever you are?”

“A hellhound, yes. Where do you think you got it?” the rifle-cleaning guy who’d assessed Reena earlier spoke up.

Archer curled his lip in a warning snarl. “I got that part. My mother is, was, human. I know this didn’t come from her. I meant this,” he indicated them with a circle of his finger, “ex-military, I know a combat unit when I see one. But who are you with?”

“Hellhounds 359,” Jed supplied. “Let’s just say our country worked out that some of us have… interesting talents beyond that of the average human soldier. And yes, your dad was a soldier, too. Interesting you should end up in the military.”

Jed’s eyes narrowed. “Even more interesting that you passed selection without us being flagged. Anyone with hellhound markers in their blood gets picked up and assessed for a shift possibility. In most, the blood is too weak, but you…” He spread his hands, indicating the shift they’d all seen Archer make.

Archer shrugged. “Until a month ago, I was as human as they come. Got myself a lycan infection and this…thing inside me woke up. At least, that’s what it tells me woke it up.”

“Tal?” Jed asked rifle-guy, who shrugged.

“Anything’s possible. A little dose of the lycan virus could wake a dormant hellhound. But to be so powerful right off the bat. Melting metal chains…that should take years.”

Reena crept closer to Archer’s side.
