were set to get Robbie to safety but going with her was becoming impossible. If he didn’t have an Alpha to assume his father’s place, he would be the one to take over. Matos was reluctant to become council president with no backing and Percel was being a right ass about even joining the Council of Shifters. Tension tightened the muscles between his shoulder blades. Pack rules that had originally been created to give balance to the different clans had been changed by his dad.
    Tribes were bristling under the new ordnances being rammed through by Ian and his cronies. There was a lot of work to do, bullshit to clean up once his father was put down. He stared at the orange shag carpet, tufts brushed the sides of his shoes. Robbie would never leave without him and he didn’t just have her and the problems Ian created to worry about. He still needed to address the information he learned from Boris. Reana had a lot of explaining to do.
    Robbie curled into a ball and cried out in her sleep. Colin leaned back skimming his fingers along her form while murmuring soft words against her neck. “It’s all right, luv. I’m here, you’re safe.” He pressed his lips in the spot behind the shell of her ear. “Get some rest for you and the babe.”
    She unfurled and stretched out, turning toward him. He lay down next to her, above the covers, and listened to her breathe. Another few minutes with her wouldn’t make a difference. He closed his eyes.
    Her soft, slim fingers walked across his arm and weaved between his digits. “I thought you might have left.” She inched over and rested her head on his shoulder.
    “Nae, I thought you were sleeping.” Colin twisted his head toward her.
    “You moved,” she accused, her breath flowing over his skin.
    “I’ll not make that mistake again then.” He chuckled. “Now go to sleep.”
    “Don’t tell me what to do.” She giggled. “If we are leaving—”
    “When we leave,” he corrected.
    “Uh-huh, anyway, when the time comes I want to take the toddlers with me.”
    “How do we keep adding children to the trip?” He rose up on his elbows. “They will slow us down.”
    She gazed up at him and her nose flared lightly. “I won’t leave without them or yours. If those kids slow us down, then I suggest you be prepared to keep us safe because I can assure you I will fight to protect them and you if necessary.”
    “That will never happen.” He snorted. “I’ll find a way to take your two and my three.” His plans were once again shot to hell.
    “Thank you, Colin.” She pushed off the bed and kissed the corner of his mouth.
    He shook his head. “You might be the death of me.”
    “Don’t joke like that. If I wrote a letter to my mother, would you mail it for me?”
    “Of course, I could drop it off at the post on my way home.” He lay down. “Now will you get some rest? It will be morning before we know it.”
    Snuffles reached his ears and he realized she’d fallen asleep while he was talking. He needed help moving so many children, especially since he may not be able to accompany Robbie. Goddess, could things get any more complicated?

Chapter Five
     
    Light seared his lids, and Malachai twisted his head in an effort to escape the brightness. His head thumped like someone was using his brain for congas. Groans escaped through his lips when he pressed them together, and an ache radiated up his jaw. Voices chattered around him and he realized he wasn’t alone. He forced his eyes open.
    Tom stood over him, gripping the side rail tightly. His features were a tight mask of emotion with his lips pursed and eyes narrowed. Malachai turned his head in the direction Tom gazed and swallowed back the yelps from the sudden stinging behind his eyes. Ian Blaidd, Alpha of the Volkshire pack, leaned against a glass partition with his arms crossed. Machinery beeped. He was in an isolated room in the medical bay.
    He breathed through his nose as Tom drew his arms close to his
