Kira loved being on Lorn’s lap with his arms firmly wrapped around her. She took in everything he’d told her. “Decker is gone, so that leaves Nabby. He’s going to make a play for leadership soon. My dad and I have talked about it.”

“Nabby will only step up if Decker’s place in the clan is threatened. Right now, no one is certain how this mess with the other clans will play out. That’s probably why my father hasn’t chosen now as the perfect time to use me. Someone has to make the first move for the game to begin.”

She was confused. “Why would Nabby do anything for Decker? Doesn’t he want to take his place?”

“Nabby is still under his control. He’ll only fight to hold the clan for Decker when any challenger for leadership comes forward. I’m sure Decker is hoping he finds a fast way to resolve his issues with Lord Aveoth, since that’s what’s blocking him from coming back.”

She’d never seen the GarLycan leader but everything she’d heard about him gave her the willies. Her father ordered her to hide in their apartment when he thought anyone from that clan was in the vicinity, not sure how they’d feel about a mostly human amongst them. Lord Aveoth was rumored to be a handsome, intimidating man, but there was a supposed coldness about him that implied he probably didn’t have a heart. “I heard Lord Aveoth is really mad at Decker. He doesn’t sound like the forgiving type.”

“He isn’t. Lord Aveoth will kill Decker if he returns to this area. I’m sure our old leader is desperate to find a way to make peace.”

“Is that possible?”

“I don’t think so. Decker already played out his only advantage when he tried to trade his granddaughter.”

“The GarLycan leader is scary but I can’t believe he couldn’t attract a woman on his own. Why did Decker think giving him his granddaughter would make Lord Aveoth do his bidding?”

“She wasn’t just any woman. She was a blood relative to his intended lover, who died before he could claim her. It’s rumored that Lord Aveoth became addicted to her blood and would kill to have one her descendants.”

“That’s possible? I’ve never heard of that before.”

“He’s a GarLycan.

“So it’s a Gargoyle thing?”

“I guess. So little is known about them.”

“It couldn’t be too big of a weakness. Dad said he allowed Decker’s granddaughters to mate VampLycans.”

Lorn nodded. “Decker underestimated the GarLycan leader, thankfully. I still shudder to think what would have happened if Lord Aveoth had agreed to go to war with the three other clans. I would have broken ranks and fought alongside them.”

“I would have, too, even if they hadn’t wanted my help.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter now. It didn’t happen. Lord Aveoth wants to kill him. It will end so many problems if he succeeds.”

“I know I wish Decker were dead.”

Lorn grew quiet and Kira studied him. He seemed deep in thought. She wished she could read his mind. “What are you thinking about?”

He hesitated and then met her gaze.
