MILA

Never had she been so scared as when she entered Damien’s home and saw Truman and Vance there waiting for her. Both look congenial and calm, the perfect guests, especially Vance who could pull off that innocent little boy look better than anyone. Truman, well he was oblivious as ever.

Hayden and Damien expected her to talk to Truman, convince her alpha that she hadn’t been kidnapped. If she failed to convince her alpha, he and Truman would never leave, or worse, they’d take her back. She couldn’t—wouldn’t—go back.

Hayden slipped his arm around her shoulders, allowing his scent and strength to calm her. He wouldn’t let them take her away. He had said as much, and she trusted him. For the first time in her life, she trusted another shifter to truly be on her side, not just in words, but deed as well.

Vance’s voice reached her from downstairs. They’d only made it half-way down the hallway when her legs stopped moving. Hayden’s thumb caressed her upper arm and he followed up with a squeeze, reminding her she wasn’t alone. Nor did he rush her. Confronting her alpha and Vance was something she had to do. With Hayden at her side, she could do this.

Mila started walking again. From the second she reached the steps, Vance’s eyes were on her. Callen blocked the bottom of the steps. He was there too, to protect her. A slight smile crept onto Mila’s face. She wasn’t alone here. Two shifters to protect her.

“Glad you’re feeling better and can join us,” boomed Damien’s strong voice from the center of the great room below. Three shifters. Mila straightened her posture. Never show weakness. That was practically the credo of weak shifters everywhere. Weak of body didn’t mean weak of mind or spirit. Show who you are on the inside.

“I’m good, Hayden,” she whispered, with a tiny shrug of her shoulders to shake off his arm. Hayden nodded, pulled his arm away, and fell in step behind her as she descended the steps.

“Water or beer, Mila?” Tess asked from the kitchen. Four shifters. Four fabulous shifters who supported her, Mila Evans from Montana, the weak shifter who nobody thought would—could—amount to anything special.

Tess caught her eye. She was smiling, confident, strong. The shifter Mila always wanted to be. Hayden’s hand fell to Mila’s lower back, not coaxing her forward, just a simple touch, a connection that sent warmth and love through her. Smiling and confident she could do. . . maybe not as well in this moment, but in time. Strong. That was out of her control. Two out of three was still good though.

“Nothing for me,” she answered Tess, surprised her voice didn’t crack but came across steady, strong. Maybe strong was possible, just a different type of strong.

Mila walked over to Truman, ignoring Vance who stood only a few feet away. She could sense Vance’s anger that she hadn’t acknowledged him, even though it was proper to acknowledge the alpha first.

“I apologize for rushing out of here earlier,” she began, keeping her eyes locked on Truman.
