here?” Ujarak asked. Susan
couldn’t help but notice how his voice squeaked.
    “Where else would she go? Shouldn’t
you introduce me to our guests?” the woman asked.
    “Right, this is Susan and Jean-Paul.
JP is going to help us with whatever our uncle found in the ice.
This is my sister, Malina,” Ujarak said, turning to JP and
Susan.
    “Hello,” Susan replied.
    “Come in. Mother and Father are
anxious to meet you.” Malina turned, leading the way into the warm
house. Susan fumbled with the zipper of the snowsuit. She wanted
out of all the layers of clothes. JP tugged off his jacket and
Malina took their things down a hallway.
    “I’m sure everyone is gathered in the
kitchen,” Ujarak suggested and motioned to a doorway toward the
back of the house. Susan grabbed JP’s hand. Meeting new people made
her uncomfortable.
    “This is my father, Taliriktug, and my
mother, Nicole.” Susan nodded to the older couple sitting at the
table. “And this is Anaaya, my uncle’s wife.” Ujarak stood
awkwardly by the door.
    “Soon to be ex-wife. Hi, I’m the
middle brother, Kumaglak,” said a handsome man standing by the
sink. He walked over to Anaaya and placed a cup of tea in front of
her and then squeezed her shoulder.
    “Nice to meet you,” Susan muttered as
JP greeted everyone. So many people with strange names. The
brothers looked very much alike. Were they as bossy as their older
brother, Mathis?
    “Don’t just stand there, Ujarak.
Invite our guests to sit,” his father said.
    “Please, sit down. Can I get you
something to eat or drink?” Nicole asked.
    “That would be wonderful, if it’s not
too much trouble,” JP said. “I know Susan and I haven’t eaten much
today, with everything.” Jean-Paul pulled out an empty chair for
Susan and then sat beside her.
    She wrung her hands in her lap, her
wolf nervous surrounded by so many polar bears, and Susan didn’t
want to open her mouth and say the wrong thing, which always
happened when she was nervous. JP laid his palm over hers. She
grabbed it with both hands. He smiled and squeezed.
    “Mathis mentioned that you help care
for his children,” Nicole took items out of the
refrigerator.
    “Yes. I love children… and
dogs.”
    “You’ll have to excuse my mate. She
can be shy when she doesn’t know someone,” JP interjected
smoothly.
    “Would you mind telling me how my
daughter Cybille is doing?” Nicole asked. Her hand shook as she
moved a bowl of soup to the counter. Was she nervous, being a lycan
who lived in the polar bear village?
    Susan took a deep breath. No one in
the room smelled threatening. “All of the children are adjusting
well. Margot and Mathis dote on the kids, making sure they have one
on one time with each child. Cybille is starting to come out of her
shell, though she can still be clinging, wanting Margot if she is
upset.”
    “Thank you. I’m glad the children are
doing so well,” Nicole said stiffly and then turned her back to the
group.
    Susan glanced at JP. Did she say
something wrong? He squeezed her hands again.
    “It was very hard on my wife to send
Cybille to live with Mathis,” Taliriktug said.
    Susan nodded. “That would be hard.”
Susan started to ask Nicole why she didn’t fight to keep her
children. A warning look from JP stopped her question.
    “You will go after my brother?” asked
Taliriktug.
    “Yes. I believe he found a magic item
that was lost in the ice. Unfortunately the item heats with strong
emotion and if not stopped, could melt the polar ice cap. We need
to get it back as soon as possible.”
    “What will you do with it?” Anaaya
asked.
    “Send it someplace where it isn’t a
danger. Is there anyway, your husband would give up the ring
voluntarily?”
    Susan’s nose tingled with the biting
smell of aggression rising. She followed the scent to the middle
brother, Kumaglak, and a little bit from Ujarak. Did they not like
the question, or that JP asked it. She shuddered. Jean-Paul glanced
at
