take care of getting her tires changed. Should I make a point of guarding her? Or will you be sending someone?” No matter how docile he tried to keep his tone, he couldn’t quite bury the growl beneath the words. Someone inflicted harm on Shi— in their pack. Unacceptable on every level.
    “She’s not your problem,” Ryan began, but Matt raised his hand in a request to continue before the attorney cut him off. Pausing, Ryan raised his brows.
    “She came home for me.” Or at least that was what he planned to tell his mother. “She’s my best friend…she means the world to me. It would be my privilege to look after her.”
    “Fine. Keep an eye on her. We knew some wouldn’t be happy with their return, but there’s still no excuse for vandalism.” Ryan motioned to Phillip. “We’ll take care of alerting Mason. Are Virgil and Tyler picking up the cars?”
    Chase nodded once. “They’ll be here shortly. Not much else we can do in the meantime. I’ll check with the shop owners and others in the area, but unless someone admits to seeing something…” Wolves could play oblivious as well as anyone.
    It was cold, and it had been snowing on and off. Chances were high no one had seen anything, anyway.
    “I’ll make sure Shi gets home.” Though he had every intention of walking across the street to fetch her, he stayed where he was until excused. He’d engaged the more dominant wolves—both senior members of the pack. He knew better than risking rudeness.
    “Go ahead,” Ryan said, withdrawing his phone from his pocket. Permission granted, he jogged across the street to the coffee shop. The rich scent of beans, sugar, and milk perfumed the warmer air inside. Shi glanced over at the sound of the bell, and the tired look in her eyes kicked him in the gut. If he did nothing else, he planned to erase the hurt in her gaze and restore the sassy pistol who insulted him regularly.
    “Mrs. Huston.” He nodded to Tiffany, then focused on Shiloh. “Pita.”
    The hurt in her eyes disintegrated in favor of a flash of temper. “Pita? Really? That’s what you come to me with, dog breath?”
    Tiffany chuckled and Matt smiled. Dog breath. Much better. “I love you, too Pita.” Winking, he pulled out his wallet and claimed their check from the table. “Let me pay for this, then we can grab your groceries. I’ll take you home to deliver them, and you can pick up your bags.”
    He didn’t wait for her response on his way to the counter.
    “My bags?—Excuse me, Mrs. Huston.”
    “Of course, dear.”
    Shi was right behind him as he peeled off a twenty to pass over to Daisy, the wolf behind the register. Her flirtatious smile froze at the first sight of Shi. Slinging an arm around his best friend, he pulled her close and dropped a kiss on the tip of her nose. “Don’t worry about anything, Shi. I got this.”
    Her mouth opened, but no words came out.
    Wow. Kissing Shi shut her up. Grinning wider, he eyed Daisy who looked from him to Shi then back again. Put it together, little gossip. I know you can. Her frown eased and a hint of a smile tugged at her lips. That’s it. Assume Shi is mine. Tightening his arm around Shi, he kept her from breaking free. “Thanks,” he told Daisy as she handed him the change. “Do you have your jacket, Shi?”
    “Yeah, it’s over…there.” Heh . She found her voice as she waved her hand toward the table she’d shared with Tiffany.
    “Great, let’s get that and escort Mrs. Huston to her mate.” He dismissed Daisy and guided Shi through the tables. The confusion in her scent mingled with embarrassment. Not ideal, but perfect considering the tale he planted with Daisy. Mrs. Huston was already on her feet when they reached the table, and she gave him an amused look.
    “Matthew, are you sure you know what you’re doing?” The motherly affection coupled with the hint of challenge transported him to childhood. He remembered when Mrs. Huston was still human. It never stopped her
