I let A tell the others what was going on, allowing her to decide what information she wanted to give.
They were all supportive, as I knew they would be. My dad did insist on her moving into the main
house, of course. Mina and Briggs wanted to stay the weekend, but A insisted that wasn’t
necessary.
I could tell A didn’t want to linger on the subject, so I changed the subject as soon as I was satisfied
they knew what they needed to. We visited for a couple more hours. It waste when I followed Mina
and Briggs to the vehicles. I stopped at my car as I watched A go to the guest house. She would
move into the spare room of the main dwelling first thing in the morning, but it was toote to worry
about that tonight.
‘I’m staying here tonight,’ I mind-linked Briggs. ‘I want to run a patrol. I can establish a route for the
others to follow.’
‘I got you, bro,’ Briggs said. ‘I think it’s a good idea that you stay close.”
‘I just want to make sure,’ I said.
‘Theo, you don’t have to exin,’ he said. ‘Let me know if you need to stay another day or two.’
He had already started driving down the driveway. I waited until I couldn’t see his tail lights before
pulling out my phone. I dialed Alpha Harden’s number, watching the guest house windows go dark as
A settled in for the night.
“Hello?” Alpha Harden answered.

“Alpha Harden,” I replied, “It’s Alpha Theo. Sorry to call sote.”
“No worries, son,” Harden said kindly. “It’s good to hear from you. We missed seeing you at the
Gathering.”
“Yeah, I wish I could have been there,” I said. “I had an incident here that needed to be taken care of,
unfortunately.”
“Everything okay?”
“It will be,” I said. “I’m actually calling about something else.”
“Oh?”.
”
“Yeah, I heard some news today – about Conner Elkins going missing,” I stated.
“Ah,” Harden sounded. “So, Ms. Garner must be with you then. Kingston said she was out of town. He
didn’t say where, but I hoped it was somece familiar.”
“Are you talking about A?” I said, not sure how much he knew. Not sure I wanted him to know
anything. “What makes you think she’s with me?”
Harden chuckled. “It hasn’t even been six hours since I told Kingston Conner was missing. Since only a
handful of Alphas know, I highly doubt rumor had time to reach you.
”
I sighed. “She’s staying with my parents. She working on a job for them.”
“Good. I’m d she’s somewhere safe.”
“About that, I need any details you can give me so I can keep things that way,” I stated. “How much of a
threat do you think Conner is?”

“It’s hard to say,” he said, his tone getting serious. “I’m sure you heard about the incident at the
Gathering?”
“Yeah, Conner went after A.” I managed to keep the rage out of my voice.
“Yeah,” he confirmed. “It wasn’t good. The thing is, I’m not sure if he left the territory on his own or if
someone went after him. I thought Alpha Kingston may have been behind it, but I’m less inclined to
believe it after speaking with him today. But if Conner doesn’t go after Kingston, then my guess would
be he’s looking for A.”
“So, he’s a threat,” I stated.
“That’s the best assumption at this point,” Harden agreed. “How is A handling it?”
“Conner potentiallying after her barely seems to phase her. It’s Kingston that’s stressing her out,” I
said bitterly. “The idiot actually demanded she return to Sablemane territory. She refused. He wasn’t
too happy.”
“I could tell she had a good head on her shoulders,” he said. “Not that I’m surprised.”
“What do you mean?” He said that like he knew something about A.
“Theo, what do you know about her parents?” Harden asked. “Was one of them from a different pack?”
“Her mother was born here. I know of her family,” I said. “Her father, Jack, died about ten years ago. I
don’t think I ever met him, but Dad knew him.”
“You should ask him about Jack and A. It’ll be important if you’re going to keep her safe,” Harden
said. “And how did she end up with

the Sablemanes anyway?”

“That’s a long,plicated story,” I said, running a hand over my face.
I had no idea what he was talking about with A and Kylee’s parents, but I could tell he knew
omething he didn’t want to tell me. I couldn’t
gauge why, though. He obviously wanted me to know.
“What do you know
know about A, Harden?”
“Honestly, nothing for sure. It’s just a hunch,” he said. “But just know, if she ever needs help, she can
come to me.”
I could tell he meant it. I respected Harden. He was a good man. If I had to let A go to keep her safe,
I would rest easier if she was in his hands.
“Thanks, Harden,” I said. “Hopefully, she’ll never need it. Keep me in the loop on this?” Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
“Of course,” he agreed.
I hung up the phone. I looked back at the guest house. It was going to be really hard for me to leave
her now. I’d worry about thatter. First, I had to get a n in ce to keep the area patrolled. I wasn’t
going to risk anything.
I stripped down and shifted into my wolf, letting Kieran’s instincts take over as I traveled through the
woods. Kieran was incredibly determined. He spent extra time on any path or road he came along. He
backtracked more times than I could count, leaving his scent on nearly every tree or boulder to ensure
the patrol route was easy to follow. But he needed this as much as I did. Possibly even more. He had
been feeling so useless in the situation with A. He was finally able to do something to take care of
her.

It was the first time we had worked together like this in a while. We had been at such odds with each
other thest few months that we had disconnected in a way. I was reminded of how natural it was to
rely on our animals. It was natural to trust them.
We had circled a wide radius around theke and up and down the mountain and were nearly back to
my parent’s ce. I stopped at the top of a ridge along a game trail that allowed a clear view of theke
house property.
‘I’m sorry, Kieran,’ I said to my wolf. For getting us into this mess. I should have listened to you in the
first ce.’
‘I know.’
‘I don’t know if I can ever make it right, but I’m trying.’
‘I know.’
I didn’t need him to say anything more. I could feel what he felt. We stood and made our way back.
