Chapter Three

They drowsed together as the shadows lengthened on the wall in the quiet room, just holding each other and not saying anything. Blaine should have known the peacefulness couldn’t last. When the soft knock sounded on the door, he couldn’t say he was all that surprised.

“Alpha?” came an unfamiliar voice. “Sorry, sir, but we need you downstairs. A fight has broken out.”

Cursing softly, Kerrick rolled to his side, dropping a quick, hard kiss on Blaine’s lips. “So soon?” Kerrick muttered, groaning. “I’m coming,” he called out in a louder voice. He sat up on the side of the bed and sighed. Looking over his shoulder at Blaine, he lifted one shoulder. “Sorry, pet. I need to deal with this.” He got up and went into the bathroom with his jeans in his hand. Blaine listened to him cleaning up for a moment before getting up, wincing only a little at the slight soreness in his ass and following Kerrick into the bathroom. Kerrick smiled at him as he stood in the doorway, and offered him a warm cloth.

“I’m sorry I have to leave you,” he said again. “Let me go take care of this. We need to put a quick end to any kind of arguments between the two factions. They have to learn we’re all one pack now.” Kerrick kissed him again as he strode past him and took off out the door, leaving it unlocked in his haste.

The other Dire was young and casting angry glances at Carlson but making no other aggressive moves.

“He needs to stay away from my daughter! She’s too young for a mate, and I wouldn’t allow him to touch her anyway.”

Kerrick had his arms folded over his chest and a harsh frown on his face. “How old is this female?” he asked the Dire beside him.

The younger man shrugged. “Old enough, alpha. Maybe twenty or so. I don’t even know her. She was helping me bring in firewood this morning. We talked a little.” He lifted one shoulder and glanced over at Carlson. “She let me kiss her, and this one saw us. He rushed over and tried to strike her, so I stopped him.”

Blaine knew they were talking about Marla, a young female in his pack and Carlson’s daughter. Carlson had actually been looking for a mate for her, but Blaine knew he probably didn’t approve of her having anything to do with the Dires. Blaine watched silently as Kerrick turned back to Carlson. “Is it that
