Chapter 12

It took every ounce of control for Konrad not to attack Jyran for touching his mate. Dahy was his. His! A low growl vibrated in his chest. He should’ve known. Should’ve understood the reason behind the weird reactions he’d had since meeting Dahy, but that fucking perfume had messed with his senses. Now he was certain. Dahy was his and would always be his.

“Seriously, Jyran. Is he your cousin?”

If Gideon didn’t shut the fuck up, Konrad would have his throat. He peeled his lips back and flashed teeth at him. Gideon’s eyes widened, and he raised his hands as he momentarily dropped his gaze to the floor. Some of the anger in Konrad simmered down.

“Of course he is.” Jyran took a step back, but gripped Dahy’s shoulders and looked into his eyes. “Squirrel cousin.”

Myka snorted a laugh. “Which means?”

Konrad had forgotten she was there, but her comment made him relax a little more. There were two squirrels and a human, only Gideon was a threat to Dahy. He could take Gideon. He was the alpha, and while Gideon was a strong wolf, he wasn’t as strong as Konrad.

“It means he’s my…mother’s second cousin’s mate’s sister’s nephew, I think.” Jyran was scrunching his face in concentration, and Dahy looked thoughtful but nodded.

“My mother’s sister’s mate’s third cousin, I think.”

“Wasn’t that what I said?”

Dahy nodded. “Pretty much, yeah.”

Jyran turned to Gideon. “See, cousin.”

Gideon’s sigh could’ve earned a note in a book of records somewhere. “He’s a total stranger.”

“No, he’s not. He’s family. A cousin.”

“Aww, you’re so cute.” Myka touched a hand to her heart.

“It’s not cute, it’s squirrel…idiocy.”

Konrad stared at Gideon, about to say something, but Jyran beat him to it.

“Watch it, buddy, or you’ll be out of squirrel idiocy for the rest of your life.”

“Jyr.”

“No, you fucker. You have your family around you all the time. I have one relative I know for sure is alive, and you’re throwing a fit.”

“He’s not staying with us!”

“He’ll stay with me.” Konrad cut into their conversation with a loud voice. Dahy turned to gape at him, and Konrad wished he could say something soothing, but he was busy keeping himself in check.

For a few seconds everyone was quiet, then Dahy looked at Jyran. “Fleda is alive. Or was three days ago, at least.”

“Yeah? I haven’t heard anything from her in years.”

“Her online presence is under—” Dahy cut himself off and looked at Konrad first, then Gideon. “—under a different name.”

“Smart. I assumed she’d been killed since the fucking wolves…” Jyran pursed his lips, glanced at Konrad, and studiously ignored Gideon.

Dahy nodded. “It was a close call, but she PMs me now and then when she’s able to.”

“Good. Say hi from me.”

“No!” Gideon made a move as if to walk out from behind the bar, but Konrad took a step forward to stop him, or to at least be closer to Dahy should Gideon get any ideas. Jyran wasn’t a threat, but Gideon was. Gideon frowned at Konrad but stayed behind the counter. “I don’t want Jyran’s name anywhere online, not in connection to squirrels.
