Chapter 7

This time, when Cyn woke up, she rose to a noisy house and a pounding headache, the normal kind folks have when they’d slept for too long. She didn’t feel like shit, though. There should’ve been a huge-ass bite mark on her shoulder, but there wasn’t. The lump under her eye was missing, too.

What became her immediate concern were the blankets. They weren’t Kaden’s. The jovial pink pattern with flowers didn’t seem his taste. The furnishings were minimal, just a dresser and chest.

Beyond the closed door, she heard voices.

“Just because she’s awake doesn’t mean we have to go,” a woman’s voice barked, Naomi’s. “This is my home!”

“Do as you’re told.” This time, it was Kaden’s sharp voice.

Naomi laughed. “I’m still against the idea of bringing a hunter here to endanger us.”

“A bargain has been made and I’m prepared to live with the consequences.”

“And will those consequences affect the entire pack? Will that affect all the work we have put into this place, your Shangri-La in the mountains?”

Cyn rose from the double bed. Naturally, it creaked. What were they talking about? What bargain had been made? She knew her brother had made a bargain of some kind with them for her life, but she didn’t know the details?

She strained to listen further, but when she got to the living room, she found only Kaden sitting on the couch. He sat back, his feet propped up on the coffee table.

“Where are they?” she asked him.

“I heard you wake up, so I told them to leave.” This protective streak of his bothered her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

“How long did you let me sleep this time?” she asked him.

“As long as was necessary for you to recover. A few days.”

She harrumphed. “There’s not enough time to scratch the surface of that problem.”

She took a seat on the opposite side of the couch. Some distance would be good until she sorted out what was up between them. She sat for a bit, almost waiting for him to say something. Wasn’t he an alpha? Didn’t he want to take control of the situation?

“Look, as much as I want to hunt down your sister and beat the crap out of her for punching me, I can be the grown-up and let it go. What I can’t let go is that you and what’s going on at this place are bigger than I can even imagine. I suspect you’re making a safe haven for your pack.”

“An attempt of many,” he replied drily.

“Do you think more freelancers will come?”

“Probably not. If someone sounded the alarms, more than one hunter would have come for us.”

She nodded, recalling the man she’d seen before Kaden had killed him. Gregory was a bat-shit loner who only showed up during large hunter gatherings every couple of years. The chance of single-handedly taking out an alpha was too delicious a kill to share with others. But then again, Gregory had seen her. What if Kaden hadn’t killed him before he reported her whereabouts back to her clan? She was a hunter living in a werewolf’s den.
