    Silver threw his glass across the room. It made a
    satisfyingly crash as it hit the wall.
    "You know, when I do that you call it a snit,"
    Anthony said from his seat on the couch, sipping red wine
    from a crystal glass.
    Dare watched the alpha go from intense fury to
    amusement in the space of a second.
    "That's because I know it makes you angrier when I
    say you're having a snit," the alpha said with a toothy
    smile. "And you're beautiful when you're angry."
    Leaning down, the alpha gave his mate a kiss so hot
    Dare could swear he felt the heat from across the room.
    Parker cleared his throat. The alpha pair broke
    apart, both of them with high color on their faces.
    "Sorry," Anthony said with a blush.
    Silver stroked a hand over his mate's brilliant blond
    head. "Never apologize for loving me, sweetness."
    "Can we focus on the problem?" Parker said, a
    touch of impatience in his voice. Despite his tone, the wolf
    was careful to keep his gaze averted, not wanting to trigger
    his alpha's dominance. He was impatient, not stupid.
    "Silver and I will go and talk to the other alphas,"

    Anthony announced.
    " I will go and talk to the other alphas." Silver said.
    " You are not to go near them."
    Anthony stood up, his eyes flashing. "Are we mates
    or not?"
    There was a stampede to get to the door. Dillon,
    Parker, Dare, and Steven rushed out of the office, slamming
    the door behind them.
    Parker let out a deep breath. "Shit. I hate it when his
    eyes do that lightning thing."
    Dare nodded his agreement. "I adore Anthony, but
    sometimes he's freakin' scary."
    "I'll get everyone something to drink." Dare headed
    for the bar, quickly filling glasses with ice and soda and
    bringing them back to the table. The men chatted while
    they waited for their alphas.
    "So what does everyone think Alesandro will do
    with Calvin?" Dare asked.
    "I heard they got back together," Dillon said with a
    smile.
    "Is Calvin going to be converted? I can't imagine
    what it would be like to be a vampire," Dare said, his eyes
    bright with interest.
    "And you never will," Steven growled.
    Dare shouldn't find that so hot, he really shouldn't.

    "I think they're going to wait until Cindy is out of
    school and starting a life of her own. I heard Alesandro tell
    Anthony they wanted to cement their relationship before
    they went any further," Parker offered, taking a drink of his
    soda.
    "That's a good idea," Dare said with a sidewise
    glance at Steven. "Mates should get to know each other
    well before making any irreversible decisions."
    Steven opened his mouth to speak when the alpha
    pair entered. Anthony's lips were pouty and Silver had a
    definite bite mark on his throat. "Anthony and I are going
    to go warn the other alphas. Parker, you and Dillon stake
    out the construction owner's house tonight. See if anyone
    shows up there. Dare and Steven, I want you two to go
    back to the warehouse and look for clues. If they meet there
    regularly, they probably live close. I can't imagine it's easy
    for them to get around looking like they do."
    All four men nodded and went their assigned ways.
    Dare left with Steven hoping in his heart they could
    find a way to stop these creatures.

Chapter Four
    The warehouse was echoingly deserted as Steven
    followed his mate's fine ass into the abandoned building.
    The scent of wrongness filled his nose as soon as they
    entered. A low growl sounded to his right. He glanced at
    his mate and saw Dare's eyes had changed, the pupils
    elongated, the iris's glowing.
    "Keep it together, babe," he said in a low voice. "I
    don't have any clothes for you to change into."
    "I know," Dare's voice was deeper than Steven had
    ever heard before. He could tell his mate was having
    difficulty not switching to his tiger form with the scent of
    so many mutants in the
