they’d done was build one cabin after another, helping the new dens as they arrived on the mountain. She couldn’t complain.
    But she wanted to. Their small, four-room home was the best thing she’d ever lived in since they’d fled Malta. Spacious and cozy—and, most importantly, theirs! Members of their newly formed pack had helped build it. Now it was their turn to help others.
    “Here we go again.” Tonya Miccatto sidled up next to Erin, her gaze instantly drifting to Dimitri.
    “Yup. Looks like it,” Erin muttered under her breath, accustomed to females from any pack befriending her so they could get closer to her littermate.
    Dimitri didn’t seem to notice the young bitch, and Nicolo gave her a harsh look.
    Erin wrinkled her nose at him. But Dimitri’s hardening expression grabbed her attention, her heart leaping even though she knew Dimitri’s thoughts were anything but excited.
    She followed his gaze to where Juan stood with his littermate, Dante Aldo, and Dante’s mate, Moira. Thousands of goose bumps popped to life over her body. Ever since she’d fucked him, her body had been screaming for more. Two days had passed, and she swore if she went two more days she’d be a rabid idiot. Juan stood with his back to her, talking to a few other werewolves while they pointed and discussed the building of the new den. She ignored Dimitri’s growl, knowing he hated Dante.
    Dimitri had mentioned privately to her and Nicolo that he might challenge the werewolf for pack leader. He would make a good leader, and she supported him when he talked about it. Right now though, his aggressive emotions filling the air did nothing to calm her pattering heart.
    “He’s going to make every werewolf here sweat and groan when it would take nothing to let those with the gift build this den,” Dimitri muttered under his breath.
    “Why don’t you and your friend join the other bitches,” Nicolo said to her quietly.
    Nicolo didn’t want Tonya hearing Dimitri discuss the gift. And the last thing she wanted to do was to be herded off with the bitches. Dante preached at their pack meetings how the gift needed to be kept secretive, how none of them who could move things should do so where any other werewolf could see them. It was paranoid thinking. And she didn’t agree with it. Living on the run for so many years had fogged their thoughts, made them untrusting. But if they didn’t trust each other, they’d never grow as a pack. Using her gift when the three of them had been alone at their den had sped the process of building tenfold.

    “I saw the den next to ours go up within hours because one of the werewolves could move everything without touching it,” Tonya offered conspiratorially. She ignored Nicolo’s comment and grinned at Dimitri.
    A few other females arrived and quickly joined their small group. All of them hovered around Dimitri, falling over each other to get his attention. Erin wouldn’t have to go anywhere to join the bitches. As long as her littermate stood here, every one of them would come to her. They all growled and snapped at each other as soon as he walked away from the group, more than likely oblivious to every bitch who’d stood around them. Erin did her best to ignore the smell of their jealousy. She struggled to watch Juan while the group of werewolves grew around him. Already Dimitri argued with Dante, but she was too far away to hear anything they said.
    It wouldn’t be hard to guess though. Not that she cared. Dimitri would make an excellent pack leader, and he was equal in size to Dante Aldo. If there was a challenge to see who’d be pack leader, she knew her littermate could take on Dante. Juan said something, laughing easily, and all thoughts of the other werewolves faded.
    God. Juan was fucking sexy as hell. He wore faded blue jeans that hugged his thick, long, muscular legs. Cowboy boots just added to his badass appearance. The flannel shirt stretched across his
