questions as answers, as many fears as she felt.
    And his greatest fear was failure. He saw himself as the only one capable of saving Lisa and Tala and their babies, of finding Tia. He took on the responsibilities his packmates shared with him—took them and tried to shoulder them entirely on his own. He felt a sense of duty to protect them. He loved the pack, depended on their energy to power his own strength, but still he saw himself standing alone.
    Idiot.
She would have laughed if her climax weren’t hovering right on a knife’s edge of sensation. Completion first, then she fully intended to give him hell. When was he ever going to accept the fact that a matriarchal society was just that?
    He might have powers she’d never understand, an intelligence she couldn’t hope to equal, and a heart as big as the sun, but when it came right down to it, he was not the boss.
    With that thought in mind and a smile in her heart, Keisha set herself free to sensation. She felt the slick heat of his shaft riding hard against her womb, tightened around the hard knot of flesh and blood stretching her vaginal muscles, and let herself fly. Her climax ripped through her even as Anton’s caught him in its powerful grasp.
    Together they tumbled into freefall, locked body and mind in a mating as powerful as that very first time so longago. Only this mating didn’t occur beneath redwood trees as old as life. She wasn’t a frightened young woman with a damaged soul.
    No, Keisha soared with the knowledge she was strong now, and self-assured. An alpha bitch making love with her mate, taking from him and giving in equal shares. A woman who knew her own strengths, who finally understood the healing power of love and the beauty of finding her one true mate.
    The pack was threatened once again. Tia, Tala, and Lisa were missing and their mates were frantic, but the solution to their horrible situation didn’t lie with one man alone. She gave that assurance to her mate as her body pulsed and tightened around him. Shared her strength and her confidence not only in Anton, but in the power of the pack.
    They would bring their women home safely. They would protect their unborn young.
    And the ones who threatened not only the members of the pack but the leader of the free world would never threaten anyone, ever again.

Chapter 3
    Luc? Luc, where are you?
    Tia? We’re crossing the Golden Gate, honey. Are you okay?
Luc shot a quick glance at Tinker. “Punch it, Tink. I’ve got Tia.” Then he focused entirely on Tia’s voice. At least she sounded stronger, proof they were getting closer to her.
    Tinker nodded and passed the vehicle on his right. Traffic was heavy going north—typical for a Friday morning—but at least it was moving. Luc waited impatiently for Tia’s answer. It took less than a heartbeat but felt like forever.
    I’m okay. The bleeding’s slowed, but it hurts.
    Bleeding? You? What the hell happened?
    Men. At least three. Black suits, short hair. Agency types. Used needles on all three of us. Drug worked really fast. Took Lisa and Tala. Shot me. Small caliber with a silencer.
    Shit. Where? How badly? How are you?
    Hurts like hell, but the hole’s not too big. Bullet’s still in me, I think. I’m really pissed, so guess I’ll be all right. Luc? Are the babies okay? Have you talked to Beth and Nick?
    Cami and Shay are fine. They’re all at the house on Marina with AJ and Mik for added protection. Honey, where are you?
    In a bathroom at the mall. We were near Nordstrom when they attacked. I can’t raise Lisa or Tala. I don’t know how long I’ve been out. I keep waiting for someone to come in to use the restroom, but there’s been no one.
    We’re north of Sausalito. Less than ten minutes. Hang on, babe. We’re almost there.
    I love you, Luc. I’m so sorry.
    You know I love you. But why are you sorry?
    I didn’t protect Tala and Lisa. We were laughing and having fun. We didn’t pay attention. You’re always warning me to
