Chapter 22

That night, Vice ran with Cain and Rogue. Rogue had asked for Cain specifically, and it made Cain proud that his omega skills were helping the Dire. Liam also liked knowing that a Were in his pack was in high demand.

It was better this way. Liam needed an alpha with him at all times and Cyd was good playing the role as bodyguard for him. He excelled at fighting.

Cain was still trying to shake off the violence of the other night, even though he had to admit that a part of it had excited him. His wolf needed the violence, the fighting, to survive. But as an omega, Cain was built to crave peace. To have all of that coexist in one body was at times frustrating and exciting and scary as fuck.

“Come on, Cain, let’s roll,” Vice said, and speaking of coexisting and scary as fuck . . .

“Have you heard from Jinx?” he asked as they stripped down in the woods. He’d texted and called, gotten a brief things are fine text in return.

“He’s in hiding with Gillian,” Vice said. Cain noticed the tightness in Rogue’s expression when Jinx was mentioned and he made a mental note to keep his mouth shut on the subject around the wolf from this point on.

The shift went from pain to pleasure in minutes. Cain ran between the two Dires, slowing as they scented humans around the same area he and Rogue had seen the hunters gathering.

Quietly, Cain padded forward, camouflaged in the heavy brush. He peered out and what he saw made his groin tighten.

He was back. Holy mother of the moon, Angus was back and he looked . . . like a goddamned warrior.

The scars were still there, marring his chest and back and neck and they didn’t distract from his beauty. Cain hadn’t lied when he’d told the man that, the last time they’d seen one another.

The conversation had gone downhill after that, but Cain knew he’d come back.

He’d just never thought the ex-fed would come back as a hunter.

Angus had always been damned handsome and strong to begin with. He’d always had an edge, but it was more pronounced now, especially the way his eyes glinted as he spoke with the other men in his group.

Cain took him all in, especially the silver knife and the tattoos on the backs of the man’s hands.

Hunter.

He drew a stuttered breath, found himself at a total loss for words as he watched Angus shoot the bow and arrow and hit the target exactly in the center. His muscles bulged and the look on his face meant business.

A woman came out of the trees and hugged him. And then another guy came out too—human—and clapped Angus on the back.

And Angus smiled at the guy.

Son of a bitch. Cain knew that smile. And he wasn’t about to compete with anyone.

“And that’s why you don’t fall for humans,” Vice told him.

He hadn’t heard the Dire approach, which was part of the problem, hadn’t realized he’d even shifted, dammit.
