CHAPTER TWENTY

“Anyone else?” I said.

“It’s a small village,” said Ewan. “And, I mean, the pack is very open and embraces everyone, but being gay, it’s not exactly easy for werewolves.”

“Because of the mating thing,” I said. I was in Ewan’s and Sinead’s living room the next day. Sinead and Ewan were sitting together on a couch opposite me. He had his arm around her, and she was sitting so close to him that they were practically merged into the same person. I looked at them, and I couldn’t help but think about how I wanted that with Landon, and I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get it.

“Yes,” said Ewan.

“But there are gay werewolves,” I said. “Because I’ve heard people talk about them before. That’s the whole reason that Landon and I could mate, because there’s a pack with a gay alpha.”

“Well, yeah, but I just don’t know them,” said Ewan. “People don’t tend to come up to me and confide their gayness.”

“Do you think wolves hide it?” I said.

“I’m not even sure why we’re having this conversation,” said Ewan.

“I need you to tell me who the gay wolves are so that I can convince one to fall for Aston Waterfield and then I’ll tell the council he has to stay, because he’s mated to someone in the pack.”

“He’s a human,” said Sinead. “They can’t mate.”

“Well, not in a werewolf way,” I said. “But some wolves choose human mates, right? It happens.”

“It does,” confirmed Ewan. “My mother was a wolf, and my father was human.”

“So, if he mates with someone in the pack, he’s part of the pack,” I said. “Simple.”

“Who’s going to fall in love with Aston?” said Sinead. “I mean, before he got blood slaved to the vampires in the dungeon, all he did was complain. As if there was anything any of us could do.”

“Well, it doesn’t have to be love love,” I said. “As long as they’re having sex. That’s all it takes for wolves, after all.”

“Yeah, but if wolves are mated, there’s a mystical thing that happens,” said Sinead.

“Why do you want Aston in the pack anyway?” said Ewan.

“Oh, he wants to be in the pack,” I said. “And I told him I’d find a way for him to be in the pack if he, uh, found a way to get rid of Landon’s rage mode.”

Sinead’s eyes got wide. She sat up straight. “That’s a thing? He can do that?”

“I don’t know,” I said. “But Landon says that if I tie it to his acceptance into the pack, it puts pressure on him, and he might rush it and not do the best job. Which, you know, makes sense and all.”

“So, you want to find Aston a mate instead,” said Sinead.

“Can’t you just declare him pack?” said Ewan. “You’re the freaking alpha.”

“The council hates me right now,” I said.

“So?” said Ewan. “You’re still the alpha.”

“Yeah, but I think it would be easier if they didn’t think I was bossing them around and doing whatever I wanted.
