Chapter Fifteen

The council hall had been entirely gutted and redone. On four paws, I stood in the doorway and took it all in; gleaming hardwood floors freshly waxed and sealed, exposed beams meeting at the highest point in the vaulted ceiling above, and custom molding so intricately carved, it looked too delicate to be in a place that had once felt like nothing more than a glorified board room.

But that place was long gone. This was something different. Something completely and totally ours. Isaac wasn’t just a foreman; he was a design master. His creation had changed the energy so much that I barely remembered standing in this space the day Kai had been led away in handcuffs. Or the way Drake had threatened me openly in front of the entire pack. Even the unease from the memory of Warren trying to force me out of town was gone.

The Town Hall, as Isaac had named it, was nothing like what I remembered. And for that, I wanted to kiss him. When, you know, I had human lips again. Hell, maybe I’d do it anyway. A lick right up his entire face. It was tempting.

“You okay?”

Oscar’s voice came from beside me. He’d stayed pretty close since I’d walked into the Throttle earlier. After Kel had left, I’d searched and searched for Kai. But my wolf knew what it took my human side an hour to admit: He didn’t want to be found. Not even by me.

“Ash,” Oscar pressed, and I realized I hadn’t answered him.

I turned and pressed my snout into his hand to let him know I was fine.

He frowned. “I’m going to get changed.”

He walked off without waiting for a reply. I’d tried to offer time for him to get ready at home, but he’d waved me off. I had a feeling he was dreading the dress-up part of this evening and wanting to put it off as long as possible.

I couldn’t blame him. Although, the idea of a fancy dress didn’t seem terrible. I had never once worn a dress as nice as the one I’d bought myself for tonight. And now, I guess I never would.

My wolf rolled her eyes at my wistful thoughts. And to prove her lack of empathy, she nudged us forward and strutted into the room.

Overhead, the chandelier lights had been set on some sort of swivel setting so they moved in wide circles over the bodies below. I stared out at the crowd, entranced by the lights glinting over sequins and sashes. Some of the men
