CHAPTER SIX

Jake and Kyle guided her through the snow and trees to the larger meeting room. The sun was setting and the room was brightly lit with a roaring fire in the hearth. There were enough chairs around the edge of the room that all the residents of the colony could meet together. Matthew’s big frame filled up the large wooden chair on the far side of the room.

“Seriously, a throne?” she muttered under her breath.

Kyle made what Ellie thought of as his strangled wolf sound, and everyone in the room went silent.

“Ah fuck,” she whispered.

Matthew gave her a grim look. “Still not used to our hearing, I see.”

“Not exactly.” She felt the color burning in her cheeks.

“Have a seat,” Matthew gestured at several available chairs. Kyle and Jake flanked her, which Matthew noted with a raised eyebrow.

She was so cranky she wanted to punch something. Between her thighs she was ripe and pulsing. At the moment she wasn’t even horny; she was just tense. Her shoulders ached, she had a headache, and she couldn’t get her heart to stop palpitating.

Would they really try to force her to stay?

Cassia stood once they were seated. She gave Ellie an apologetic look. “I spoke with the wereleopards. They confirmed several of the Hagalaz mercenaries were killed during a struggle with a Fae lord. Well, part Fae. What he lacked in magic he was trying to make up for in muscle. He had been embezzling money from a company, and using the money to hire the Hagalaz and other creatures.”

“So we still don’t know why they wanted the money,” Matthew said.

Nodding, Cassia continued. “What we do know is they were willing to die to help the Fae lord. One after another the Hagalaz fell and they kept their contract.”

“The Hagalaz won’t run from a fight but they aren’t stupid either. The Fae must have promised them aid, or something equally valuable.”

“Agreed. The Hagalaz were, a year before the conflict last summer, doing contract kills to allow the Fae to continue embezzling. So their arrangement was going on for at least a year, likely more. The wereleopards have a Truthspeaker who has been trying to unravel the whole plot.” Cassia sat.

Felicia leapt to her feet. “This can only mean they plan to attack us and dominate us. It’s always been their plan.”

The room erupted with shouting.

“Why do the Hagalaz want to dominate the Uruz pack?” Ellie asked Kyle. He leaned over and tried to speak into her ear so she could hear him over the uproar.

“Over the past hundreds of years our birth rate has declined. The Hagalaz had certain ideas about how to handle the situation. Uruz and Hagalaz used to be closer allies, but our Alphas fought. The Hagalaz have, on occasion, tried to force us to their way. They’ve even kidnapped a few Uruz wolves, solitaries, and even wolves from other packs.”

“For what?”

Jake gave her a stricken look. “Mating.”

“Oh. But I thought that couldn’t be forced.”

“It can’t, but it’s complicated. Those without mates get to a certain age and start to panic.
