problem will go away. You want me to come up there with you? I can be there soon. Just keep an eye on her and I’ll be there soon.
    No, I…Christ, Dad. She’s beautiful. His dad took offense to that and told him of course she was . No, I mean…Dad, you should see her. Even hurt the way she is, she’s simply the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. I can’t see her eyes, but I’m betting that they’re dark like mine. Her hair is almost a blue black. Her wolf would be gorgeous. I know that looks aren’t everything, but she is perfect.
    You have to claim her before you can go running naked with her, you know that right? Luke flushed and told him he knew that. I’m coming up. I won’t tell Hunter or the others, but I gotta see her now. I can…where the hell are you, anyway?
    Luke told him and about how long it took to get there. It never occurred to him to tell him not to come. Once his dad decided on a course of action, there was no stopping him. And Luke decided that he wanted his dad there with him more than anything. He was glad that he’d told him he wasn’t telling Hunter. If she didn’t make it, he wasn’t sure he could stand to have them around him right then.
    “Can you save her?” Luke looked over at Allen, who was staring at his sister. “I know what you are. I mean, I think I know what you are. You can’t live in our town and not hear things. Are you?”
    “Am I what?” Allen looked at him, and Luke felt as if he were staring at his very soul. Neither of them blinked, and when Allen finally looked away, Luke felt as if he’d been released from a tight hug. “You want to know an answer to something, then ask me. I’m not going to assume anything right now.”
    “There are rumors that you and your family came here to be in charge of the other wolves in town. I’ve never…I don’t think I have met any of them but…I guess Pete was in charge before you, then before him, I don’t know. But you know how things are. And Conklin hated them, all of them.” Luke told him that Conklin was a fool. “Yeah, I got that on my own. But I didn’t want to be misinformed. So I tried to find something, anything on you when you hired me. There isn’t a lot out there. Less if you take out the women’s books.”
    Luke looked at Jack before saying anything. “She’s my mate. Do you know what that is? I mean, have you found much on that?”
    “Just things that were referred to in those books. I don’t normally go for all that bodice ripping stuff, but it was all I could find. She’s your other half, right?” Luke nodded. “Other than that, I’m clueless. But if you can save her, then I’d very much like for you to do it.”
    “I’m a werewolf.” Allen didn’t look at him but nodded. “I need you to understand, so I’d very much like it if you looked at me.” Allen didn’t look, but he did speak.
    “I’m…I don’t want her to die. I know that she more than likely hates me and I can’t find a single reason why she shouldn’t, but I love her with all my heart.” He looked then, and Luke could see the anguish on his face. “You’re going to have to change her into what you are. I get that. She’s going to have to be hurt more in order for that to work as well. That too I understand. Right now the thought of you doing whatever it is you’re going to do scares the shit out of me, but I think it’s her only hope. And if what I’ve read is true, you can’t help but want to make her better. And she will be, right? If you change her?”
    “Yes. But you also have to understand that it may quicken her death too.” Allen brushed at the tears as he nodded. “Allen, she’ll be a werewolf like I am. If she’s mad at you, she could kill you without any problems. She’ll be my mate. I’m not going to be able to take that back, no matter what you may think right now.”
    “You can save her by changing her. Jack might be really pissed at me for this, and if she never talks to me again,
