Chapter Sixteen

The morning after the attack, I didn’t have anyplace I needed to be, and I called it good. It seemed as though chaos reigned every time I left the house. I couldn’t even go pick up a silly countertop appliance without something awful happening. Depressing, really.

My guys all had places to be, Moss was at school working on a paper in the library. Brandon was off running an errand for the alpha. Escher, well, I didn’t know where he was, but he’d only popped in long enough to fill his travel mug and give me a quick kiss before disappearing to do whatever it was he went off to do.

And I was going out to dinner with Cash later, which was something to look forward to.

I settled in on the back porch with a textbook open on my eReader and a virtual highlighter in hand. With so much constant chaos, my grades were suffering, and I didn’t want to fail the upcoming quiz. History challenged me, memorizing the endless dates of wars and battles and other things interesting me not at all. Why didn’t we study more of the day-to-day life of people in various eras?

Maybe because men had been largely responsible for the writing of history for most of those eras? Unless a woman donned armor like Joan of Arc, or ruled a country, she was lucky to be footnote. And look what happened to Joan? To Marie Antionette? Lesson: keep your head down, don’t try to change the world. And everything will be fine.

A woman’s name should appear in the paper when she was born, engaged, and died…or something similar. Not that I had the slightest desire to have my name in the local newspaper, but I did wonder how many women’s achievements had been stifled, ignored…or never even happened because they were held back from reaching the peak of their abilities.

And shifters. The only shifter history I’d ever heard of was hidden away in the private libraries of packs, and usually ignored by all but the few scholars and healers who needed to consult them for something. Surely our history deserved better My thoughts were taking me far from the battles of wars fought by male humans with one another for reasons I often either disagreed with or didn’t understand—and if I did understand, I wondered how the cause had been allowed to get far enough before someone kind or sensible stopped the perpetrator. I would have to study this stuff, remember the dates and figures of how many killed how many others and with what cruel methods, but not now. Now, I would go run a bubble bath and try to put thoughts of guns and bombs and Rattlecreek no-gooders out of my mind.

But before I had time to go into the house, I heard a crash and a shouted curse from the
