Chapter Twelve

Acat sensed his bride before he saw her. With

lithe feline grace, she dropped from a tree in the path of the sister he’d located. His admiration at how quickly she adapted to her new self was tempered by

annoyance. What is she doing here? With a growl, he rounded on Chaob who came up silently behind him.

“I thought I told you to bring her to the

village or stay in the ruins?” he snapped. Anywhere

but here with the sibling he’d come to fetch. He could

already predict trouble.

Sheepish, and at the same time defiant, Chaob

met his glare. “She distracted me with a rock to the

head and took off. By the time I caught up, we were

closer to your group than home.”

“She bested you?” Acat couldn’t help his

snort of derision, which in turn, tightened Chaob’s

lips.

“Our bride is not some meek female willing to

obey our every command.”

“So I’ve noticed.” A trait he both admired and

disliked, even as he often provoked her.

“I see you found the sister. Any problems?”

Acat knew Chaob eyed his bruised eye. A

lucky shot. “None, unless you count the fact two of

the wolves who accompanied Carlie’s sister are

claiming her as bride.” Talk about a bit of a surprise.

And of course, Grandfather wasn’t answering his

satellite phone despite his repeated calls and texts

done perched atop the highest bough Acat could find

to support his weight. Worldwide service his furry ass.

At the news of two claimants, and canine ones

at that, Chaob’s brows shot up. “Truly?” He

chuckled. “Carlie will not like that at all.”

“Indeed. However, if it is the will of the gods,

then even she cannot gainsay their choice.”

“Really? Because she seems intent on trying,”

his beta remarked dryly as he gestured to their mate

who appeared involved in a serious discussion with

her still stunned-looking sister. A few pounds heavier

and slightly taller, the family resemblance was

remarkable, and yet, Acat only had eyes for his bride,

his determined-to-drive-him-crazy bride.

“That woman will be the death of me,” Acat

growled.

“Maybe, but she’ll sure make life interesting in

the meantime. What are you going to do about the

fact Carlie’s sister has men already claiming her?

There doesn’t seem much point in toting her back.

Her or her partners.”

“Grandfather said to bring her to the village.”

“But that was before he knew she’d end up

claimed by wolves.”

“Bedded, yes. Claimed, no.”

“What are you saying?” Understanding

dawned and Chaob whistled. “You’re bringing them

all back to the village. You want them to fight for

their right to claim her as bride.”

Acat grinned at Chaob’s horrified expression.

“Just the woman and the two wolves in question. Let

our tribe leader deal with the problem. He’s the one

who created it by bringing them to the forest in the

144

first place. Besides, aren’t you curious to see who will prevail in a battle?”

They both glanced back at the bulky forms of

the male outsiders being carried on stretchers by

warriors of the tribe. Blindfolded to keep their village a secret and bound in vines to prevent attack or escape, a person could tell they’d put up a mighty

fight. Just ask his still throbbing eye.

“Jaguar versus wolf? Could end up

interesting,” Chaob mused.

“Very. We’ll have to get ringside seats.
