CHAPTER TEN

Maya avoided looking at Garrett while they were all at the scene of the attack, which was harder than she expected since there was this pull between them that was unavoidable. Her wolf desperately wanted to go to him, to seek comfort from him, even as her human half snarled his pack was responsible for the destruction. Finally, Rafe finished his own circuit of the scene and headed for Caleb and Garrett, and Maya couldn’t avoid them any longer.

Reluctantly, she headed over to the small group by the edge of the clearing. Rafe and Caleb had moved a short distance away to compare notes, leaving her and Garrett to wait. The sun was low in the sky and a chill settled over her that only added to the bone numbing sensation she already had from the leftover horror of the attack.

A heavy leather jacket settled over her shoulders, the warmth seeping into her immediately. She glanced at Garrett, who only shrugged. “You looked cold and I’m okay. Keep it until we get back to the cars.”

She wanted to toss it back to him, but the scent of sandalwood and tobacco and dried leaves soothed her wolf, provided that comfort her wolf had been longing for during their time in the clearing. So she clutched the fronts of the jacket and wrapped it around her to warm her fully.

Eventually, the Council Enforcers came over, troubled looks on both their faces. The pale-haired wolf, Caleb, spoke first. “There are a lot of scents layered over each other in the area. It’s hard to get a solid read on what happened.”

He held up a hand before Maya could protest. “We understand the health and well-being of your wolves was primary when you all arrived on scene. I’m not making a judgement. I’m stating a fact. This may make it difficult for us to discern exactly who belongs and who doesn’t.”

“Typical,” Maya snorted, bitterness dripping from the word. As usual, Saranac was going to get away with their deeds.

Rafe laid a hand on her arm. “No, Maya. Caleb said difficult, not impossible. We don’t think it’s a good idea for you to interview anyone at Saranac.”

Garrett shook his head. “I doubt anyone would speak with her. Females don’t work in an enforcer role in Saranac. They have other roles, no less important.”

“Right, more submissive roles,” Maya muttered.

“Protecting and raising pups is very important,” Garrett said defensively.

“Sure it is, but a strong woman can do both, or more, even have a career. This is the twenty-first century, you know,” Maya shot back.

“We’re a more traditional pack, preferring to protect our females, cherish them.”

“Tell that to the females we’ve rescued.”

Garrett opened his mouth, but Caleb smoothly stepped between them. “Enough. This isn’t the time nor the place. We have pups to find. I’ll go with Garrett to talk to Saranac and Rafe will go with Maya to interview Dirigo. We’ll meet up tomorrow morning at the conference room in the hotel and report to Charles. Agreed?”

Everyone nodded, and the group broke up.
