sworn up a storm, teaching Homer some words he’d never heard before. Then done as Robbie instructed running toward the waiting wolves who needed their information to make decisions in the war. Homer and the others had waited. They’d been given no instructions by either Robbie or Auggie, both of whom ran their unit.
    A certainty of action filled him, and he charged toward the caves where Robbie had gone. Unsurprisingly, the others were fast on his tail. They needed Robbie and their leader had gone back for Finn. He’d not sacrificed the mission. Auggie would get the job done. Robbie had put his own ass on the line to save one of theirs and damned if they weren’t all going to help him.
    Homer’s Alpha was already on his way out when they got to him, dragging an unconscious Finn with the strength of his teeth from the caves, three dragons on his heels.
    They’d all gladly killed those dragons.
    And Homer had known he would follow Robbie anywhere. He wasn’t just their leader, he was their Alpha.
    “That was a good day.” Robbie nodded. “No one died. Well, no wolves anyway. We took down those green bastards pretty well.”
    Homer smiled. So few memories from that time could be called good . “It was.”
    “And then not long after, you didn’t hesitate to put yourself in harm’s way by going undercover into the dragon prison and saving my brother. You walked him home after, and kept him alive until he could get to his mate and child.”
    Homer didn’t take praise well and the presumed compliment about his actions made him want to squirm. “I did as you told me to. You’re my Alpha. Anyone would do the same.”
    “No, they wouldn’t.” Robbie let out a deep breath. “Somewhere in that brilliant brain of yours that is also loaded with loyalty, you are wondering what I’m going to do now. You think I’ll make the right decision but part of you—and I can scent it—is prepared to take your mate and leave, if that’s what you have to do to protect her.” Robbie stared out into the night. “I get it because I would have done the same damn thing. You accepted Tatyana, never told anyone she was born a human, and have helped me keep her and all the other females safe ever since. Fuck, Homer. You’re my brother from war. My pack mate. Your woman is ours, too. Whatever you want from me, from this pack, from any of us, it’s yours. What would you like me to do to keep your mate safe?”
    The door to Robbie’s house opened, then closed. Dougal joined them, sitting on the other side Homer. Somewhere in the house, Devon was helping his mate put their daughter to sleep. The only Owens missing was Auggie, who was on a self-appointed mission to destroy the remainder of the dragon eggs in order to prevent any future attacks.
    No one knew if he lived or not.
    Robbie had placed Homer on the same footing as his brothers? For a male who had never had a family he could count on, his Alpha’s words banged inside of him like the food he loved but wasn’t certain he should be consuming. What would he do if it ever went away? Only losing Camille would be worse.
    “You going to answer our Alpha, Homer? Or sit there with your mouth hanging open?” Dougal drew in a deep breath. “Yes, I was listening from inside. I’m obnoxious like that. And yeah, you kept me alive so you can count me in on any plans you make, too. Devon’s probably listening from upstairs. He’s in, too.”
    “I’m…” Homer wasn’t certain of the words. Overwhelmed? Stunned? Relieved? Proud to be a member of exactly the kind of pack he thought he’d joined? “I’m not certain exactly what we should do. The part of me which spent the whole of my life fighting wants to go storming in there and tear them all to shreds.”
    Dougal nodded. “But…”
    “Not smart thinking. She got away. He hasn’t found her. Why stir up trouble? Maybe he’s not even looking.” His wolf wanted to tear and destroy until his mate was safe. “The best way to
