HUGGED BY A CURSE

With everyone else cowering on their bellies, I feel a bit silly still holding the chair like a weapon, so I set it down as Haut stalks into the room.

His head swings back and forth as he passes women who all look like wolf monsters to me, but my rage is too extreme to let that shift in imagery bother me.

Haut stops next to Tris and snuffles his ears before nudging him under the belly until Tris stands and resumes growling at the brunette wolf.

Haut then turns his attention to me, snuffling at my legs and belly.

I tentatively stroke his head, and his fur is just as luxurious as I imagined. “I’m not hurt. I’m just angry.”

His lips peel back in a snarl, and his head swings around to take in the room once more. The other wolves press closer to the floor, their ears flat and their tails tucked against their bodies.

I clear my throat. “I would like to say something, while we have your undivided attention. Owen Hartford is the reason that I am alive today. He stepped between me and the werewolf who killed my mother, giving me time to escape. He was nine years old.” I glance over at the children’s area to see them clinging close to one of the adult wolves. “Which of your children would you ask to fight a crazed werewolf? He did more than any child should be expected to do, and when my grandmother asked him to keep silent about what happened, he did, even when speaking up would have saved him face.” I look at the seething body of shadows and coal eyes. “He is the heart of this town, and I’m proud to say he is my mate.”

I stroke Haut’s head again. “Greyson Haut did not save this town. He was also a child. We all lost a parent in those woods, and how dare you belittle that trauma, raising one up while pushing down another. Haut is strong, and he watched over my grandmother, took care of her when her family couldn’t, and he’s taken care of me since my return. He’s the soul of this town, and he is also my mate.”

I glare down at Blond and Blonder before turning my anger on Brunette. “And the size of either of their knots will never be brought up again. My mates are not subjects for your porny fantasies. You are mated women. Show some decorum and stop talking about other men’s dicks.”

Just the reminder makes me want to start bashing things again, but I restrain myself and march over to the casserole table, snatching mine back up.

Clutching it tight, I march back over and glare down at Brunette once more. “But thank you for informing me of the wooing of a human. Haut made this casserole, and you will not be getting to taste its magnificence. Shame on you.”

Head held high, I stride out of the room and straight to my car, where I open the back for Tris to scramble inside.
