mind. Look, if
we’re needed to talk about pack issues fine, but Ellie needs a place to rest.”
    “Of course.” Matthew took a look at a diagram
on the wall. Ellie realized it must be a rendering of the property, though she
didn’t understand all the symbols. “We set aside the cabin on the north
treeline for you. Just across the parking lot, with the red door.”
    “I saw it. I’ll take her over.” Jake handed
their plates to Kyle. “I’ll be right back.”
    Jake grabbed her coat and helped her into it,
then took her hand and guided her out the door. She sighed in relief.
    “I’m sorry Taggert is so rude.”
    “Is it because I’m human?”
    “In part. He’s also just rude. But yes, a lot
of werewolves don’t like human mates.”
    “Why?”
    “We live in fear of discovery. Plus, humans
dilute the bloodline.”
    “That’s why Kyle sometimes has trouble
shifting.”
    “His grandmother was human. All of us have
human blood, but the more we bring human blood in, the more we seem to get shifters
with difficulty.”
    “I’m sorry.”
    “Well, the problem is, there are so few of us.
We can’t all find mates from within the werewolf packs.”
    “Is that what they meant about Hagalaz? Their
breeding practices?”
    “The Hagalaz more actively discriminate
against humans, as you know. Kara can’t really live amongst her own pack
because of her mate David.”
    “Kara, Kyle’s ex lover? The reason the
Hagalaz hate Kyle in the first place?”
    “Yeah. What David told you was true—he is
able to be whatever he wants to be and live his life, but what it meant for
Kara was she had to leave the pack. If she hadn’t, the Hagalaz would have
forced abuses on her mate. And they seem to blame Kyle for her leaving, even
though she already lived on their fringes or he’d never have even been with her
in the first place.”
    “I see.”
    “The problem is there are a few Hagalaz who
have seriously mistreated their human mates. It’s really sick. You’d have to be
totally deranged. You’ve been gifted with a mate, and to harm them, or force
them…it’s not right. But, it’s another pack, and they live by different rules.”
    “Uruz wouldn’t do that then?”
    “No, never. Uruz still don’t trust humans,
but Uruz wouldn’t ever hurt a human. Taggert might tease you, but he’d protect
you.”
    “That’s reassuring.”
    Jake grinned at her as he opened the cabin
door. “Faugh, it’s still cold in here. Let me crank up the heat.” Jake fussed
with the propane heater while Ellie stomped her feet and shook her hands to try
and get more blood flowing. “It’ll warm up more now.”
    “Do you have to go back?”
    “Unfortunately, yes. Whatever information Taggert
uncovered needs to be discussed, and then we figure out how to deal with it.”
    “Are we going to be stuck here for a while?”
    “I hope not.”
    “I have to be back at the lab on Monday.”
    “Don’t even worry about that.” Jake reached
over to caress her hair spilling out of her hat. “Come here, I’ll warm you up
for a moment before I have to go back.” She nuzzled against his neck and he
growled. “Stop tempting me.”
    “What?”
    “You smell so damn good.” Jake nudged her
head to the side and kissed her. She gasped and he hauled her up against him.
She wrapped her fingers around his suspenders and tugged them down, and he
chuckled, leaning her back onto the bed. “Like the suspenders?”
    “I figured you wore them to torment me.”
    “Maybe. Gods, sweetheart. It felt so good
being inside you.”
    “You were being mean.”
    “Mean?”
    “You were teasing me.” She arched against him
and he sucked in a breath.
    “I was getting you ready. Know why?”
    She couldn’t answer. All she could do was cry
out as he rocked his erection against her center.
    “Because I was going to fuck your sweet
little ass while Kyle took your pussy.”
    “Now you’re being really mean.” Her legs
climbed up around him so she could grind
