CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Elstan stood a hundred feet away from the clearing where the others gathered, pacing and preparing his arguments. Despite his efforts to corral the other packs and moderate their behavior, they had been taking an increasing number of risks beyond those authorized by him and Lady Olanyr.

Luciana was sitting on a fallen log nearby. “All you have to do is explain the reasons behind the orders they’ve been given.”

He shook his head. “I have explained. You’ve heard me explain. They are increasingly unwilling to be ruled by logic.”

She nodded. “That is true.”

He nodded back. “I can understand it. Were I in their places, I would feel the same.” He scuffed a bare foot on the ground. They were wearing jeans and t-shirts since he’d wanted to appear more human for this meeting, hoping it would lend weight to his arguments. Instinct calls us in a different direction. This hunt has gone on too long. We are made to stalk and kill, not to watch and wait. He sighed. “If I can’t get them to listen, our patron may abandon us.”

Luciana ventured, “Would that truly be so bad?”

He laughed darkly. “Think back to our first attack. Even with an advantage, we were forced to withdraw. Without the element of surprise, it would have turned out much worse for us.” The magical had provided his people with concealment to get close enough to catch the witches unaware.

She replied, “It’s not as if that trick will work again.”

“Everything in me wants to agree with you, but I fear attacking without that support would be the end of us. Should we endure another loss, my ability to keep a handle on this partnership will weaken.” Not to mention I’d face an increased threat of a challenge from within.

She came to him and wrapped him in a hug. “Then go and speak from your heart. As always, I am at your side.”
