Lindy searched the house for Maggie and finally found her in the kitchen with a half dozen other women around her kitchen table. The table along with every available inch of counter space was loaded with plastic bowls and foil covered platters awaiting their turn at the already overflowing dining room table.

"Thank you for inviting us, Maggie, but we can't stay," she said quickly.

"Well now, looks to me like you just got here. Ain't had time to get your coat off and you look like you could spit nails. Sit yourself down here and tell me who in my house said something to set you off like that." Maggie nodded at the empty chair one of the women had just vacated. "Come on now. Take your coat off and set a spell. Tell us all about it."

"I can't, Maggie, please. I just want to go home. I - I need a ride."

"How'd you get here? You sure didn't walk in them high heeled shoes." Maggie turned to another young woman at the table. "Don't know how you get along in them shoes without breakin' an ankle."

Gwenna, who hailed from a pack in Wyoming, stuck a long shapely leg out to show off her four inch heels. "George says they're a nice change from my cowgirl boots."

"I'll just bet he does," Ruby laughed and wiggled her grey eyebrows. "He ask you to wear 'em when…"

"Will you get your mind out of the gutter and pay attention to the subject at hand?" Maggie said in her no-nonsense voice.

Lindy saw Gwenna nudge Ruby with her elbow. She winked and nodded.

Ruby slapped the table. "I knew it! I gotsta get me some of them."

"Ruby Taylor, you're as old as Methuselah. Ain't nobody goin' to notice you in them high heeled shoes 'cept to call you a damn fool," Maggie sputtered and then she laughed. "Besides, everyone knows once Burt takes them glasses of his off, he can't see worth nothin'. You'd be wastin' good money." She turned back to Lindy. "Well? Who brung ya?"

"Travis McCormick," Lindy said, giving up and handing over her coat.

"He's that new wolver come to work at the Mill," another woman said.

"We all know that Harmony."

"He brung ya, he's the one to take you home," Maggie told her and the other women nodded in agreement until she added, "Lessin' he done somethin' he hadn't ought."

How could she answer that? He shouldn't have made her heart beat again? That was her wolf, not him. He should have refused the Mate, who probably had the Alpha backing her up? Lindy shook her head.

"Well, then…" Maggie began.

"What happened," Elizabeth interrupted quietly from the door. As she wended her way through the house in her search for Lindy, a dozen wolvers had stopped her to wish her a Merry Christmas.

"You happened," Lindy snapped, forgetting who she was talking to. "How could you? How could you order him to do that to me?"

"To do what?" Elizabeth asked, looking confused.

"Don't you dare deny you sent him. Don't you dare!" Lindy cried.
