    Sable paced the living room, trying like hell to hold on to the little control she had over the heat cycle. Her stomach cramped and Jared’s scent drove her crazy. All she wanted to do was drag the male off where no one could find them and stay there until they were exhausted and sated.
    Like they had fifteen years ago.
    She knew the all too restless feeling right before the cycle hit. Right on track . Hell, she could create a calendar off the bitch. Her heat cycle always came around the first heavy snowfall. This time, she wasn’t safely tucked in her apartment with the potion her Healer had taught her to make before she’d died. The potion calmed the urges and allowed Sable to sleep most of the two to three days of the cycle.
    The worst part was, she was shacked up with her mate, far away from her den. Any other time it wouldn’t be a problem, but she didn’t want a child. Not now. Not while she lived in the Onyx den.
    “Sable.”
    Shit, Jared.
    A moment later, he stepped into her path. She skidded to a stop. “I can’t.”
    “Can’t what?”
    She took a deep breath. “Be a mom.”
    Understanding lit up his face and his eyes grew round. “You’re going into heat?”
    “I know how to make the serum to ease my symptoms.”
    Jared let out a low growl. “I’m your mate and I’ll take care of you.”
    She didn’t understand why he would unless he wanted a child.
    “Sable, you all right?” Jared’s voice cut into her thoughts.
    She cleared her throat. “I’m fine.”
    His lips thinned and his eyes narrowed. She lifted her chin in challenge. Shaking his head, he said, “Alec and a small team are on their way to set up a generator and a satellite system.”
    She nodded, but her thoughts returned to the potion. Since Jared had left her and broke the bond, she hadn’t had a heat cycle. She couldn’t remember all the ingredients. Not that it mattered anyway. There wasn’t enough time to make the potion. She’d already started. Her reaction to him after killing the mutant and rogue earlier proved that.
    Damn, she’d been ready to strip him down in the forest.
    Feeling suffocated by his presence and scent, she fled from the house. She needed air to clear her head. If only she knew what her parents had planned.
     

Chapter Seven
     
     
    Savannah stormed into her mate’s office and slammed the door behind her. Rage bubbled in her blood. She’d underestimated her daughter’s ruthlessness and strength. “The mutant and the scout are dead.”
    Felix sent her a raised brow look from where he sat on the sofa. “You expected less from our daughter?”
    “Your Pack is weak.” She dropped onto the sofa and tried to dissolve the red haze surrounding her.
    “Dear, no one can match you, expect for Sable. That doesn’t make the Pack weak.”
    Studying him, she considered his words. He was right. Sable was her daughter, after all. It was only natural she be as powerful as Savannah. But her daughter was at a disadvantage. She used too much energy containing all her magick. “How much of my power does she have?”
    Picking up her hand, he brought her knuckles to his lips and pressed a soft kiss to them. “As much as you, possibly more. It’s hard to tell with her shields up. She thought she’d hidden them from me, but I still sensed the magick.”
    “She hides from the world. It is her weakness as much as the love for her child and mate is.” Savannah leaned to Felix, allowing his energy to soothe her mood a little.
    “I agree. Her heart will make her careless.”
    A wicked smile formed on Savanna’s lips. “And it’s only a matter of time before she makes a mistake.”
    When she stood, Felix asked, “Where are you going?”
    “I’m going to get Sable myself.”
    “What about her mate?” Felix sat back in his office chair, concern clouding his dark gaze.
    Savannah smirked. “I’ll use the male to lure her in. If she’s truly like me, she would do anything to protect what
