Before the sun rose, a distant soft rumble echoed in the clearing. Ignoring Gregory’s soft snores, I stood, stretched, and went downstairs. Winifred was already awake and dressed. I still felt a little resentment toward her for taking Charlene from sanctuary. It had been a low move, and I didn’t like that she’d risked my Mate for no apparent reason.

“It feels like it will be a heavy storm,” she said, looking around at the walls and window. “You might want to bring some of the wood inside while it’s still dry.”

“What time are you leaving?”

“Soon.” She met my gaze. “Take care of them, Thomas. All of them.”

I nodded and walked out the door to start bringing in wood.

Winifred had the truck loaded with scrap and water boiling for oatmeal when I checked to see if Charlene was awake. The sky’s rumbles grew louder with each passing moment.

“I’ll stay until she’s up,” Winifred said. “Go see what you can do about the windows.”

Hem was already in the tool building putting the trim around his latest build.

“I’ll bring them in when I’m done.”

“I’ll take the ladder around front and grab some boards. We’ll need to use what we can to cover the openings for now.”

He nodded in agreement.

Gregory and Grey helped me take the boards into the tool building and cut them to manageable lengths while the wind kicked up. As soon as we had enough for several windows, I took them to the ladder.

While I was climbing, Winifred walked out, waved farewell, and got into her truck. A large boom echoed in the clearing, followed less than a second later by a bright flash and another boom. I hurried to pound the first board into place. It didn’t sound like the storm would hold back for much longer. The wind pulled me and the ladder away from the house for a moment. Quick reflexes and a strong grip on the fascia board kept me from falling.

I’m holding the bottom, Gregory sent me. But I’m not going to catch you if you fall.

I laughed and pounded the next board into place as the rain let loose. The cold drops pelted at my back and water ran into my eyes.

You’re not going to like this, Grey sent me, but I just saw Anton and Hem go inside.

I swore as I pounded the last board into place then hurried down the ladder. Despite Anton’s words, I knew the wolf still held out hope Charlene would prefer him.

As I went toward the door, Gregory moved the ladder. Above the howl of the rain, I heard Charlene say something about going outside.

I pushed the door open and found her studying Hem’s window covers as Anton stood close beside her. She wouldn’t be going anywhere with him. Especially not in the rain.

“Not you,” I said, meeting her gaze. “We’ll do it. Once we have these on, we’ll do what we can to protect the rest of the windows.”

Hem picked up a stack of covers, and Anton took the one from Charlene’s hands.
