Alone and fully clothed in jeans and a t-shirt, Trinity paced their den, wishing time would move faster. Kian had gone for a walk to think things through. It scared her that he still might revoke their mate vows, but the fight with the wolves had mostly brought him back from the edge.

She mumbled to herself, "Trinity, there's nothing you can do." The decision was ultimately Kian's.

She heard someone approach. "Who is it?"

"Sy."

She went out to meet Kian's twin brother, Sylas. While they shared identical looks—dark, wavy hair and green eyes—Sy had always carried himself differently. While her brother-in-law had improved from when they were teenagers, the man was still too cocky for his own good.

Still, she loved him in a sisterly way. After giving him a quick kiss on the cheek in greeting, he said, "I thought you might like some company on the walk over."

She looped her arm through his and they started walking. She said, "I wish I knew what he'd do."

Sy squeezed the hand on his arm. "Don't worry, Trin. He'll make the right choice. If not, then we'll double team him and beat some sense into him."

Trin looked at him askance. "What makes you think I need your help? I remember kicking your ass and giving you a black eye when I was seventeen and you were eighteen."

Sy laughed. "Yes, but I was a tall, gangly thing back then." He raised his free arm and flexed his bicep. "I've put on a pound of muscle or thirty since then. If we had a rematch, I'm pretty sure I'd win."

She rolled her eyes. "And yet you've never actually followed through with your boasting."

He grinned and winked. "What? And embarrass my clan leader's mate?"

She resisted another eye roll. "I can't wait until the day when you meet a woman who can cure you of that cocky swagger, Sy."

Only because she knew her mate's brother so well did she notice his arm stiffen under her hand. There had been one woman who'd come close, many years ago, but Sy never talked about her. Kian had told her it was nothing to worry about, but apparently, this woman still affected him.

But before she could prod Sy any further, they arrived at the four-foot-wide crack in the rock face cleverly disguised from view with branches and boulders. Clan DarkStalker may own this land, but the cougar-shifters had survived as long as they had by being cautious; they didn't want random humans wandering into one of their most private spaces.

Trinity slid inside the four-foot-wide opening first, with Sy right on her heels. The first ten feet were narrow, but soon the pocket expanded into a giant cavern. Artificial light highlighted the stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and although most of the stalagmites had been cleared from the floor, a few shot up along the outer edges of the great room.

This was Clan DarkStalker's grand meeting space.

As she looked around the room, Trinity did a quick count and decided nearly two hundred clan members had already arrived before her.
