I don t know but I m going to stock up on that soap so you keep it up. Heh,
you know what I mean.
He laughed then and rolled so that she was on top.
She d just dipped to steal another kiss when Cade yelled up the stairs for
Lex. It sounded urgent enough that she didn t complain, just rolled off and
stayed out of his way as he pulled on jeans and a T-shirt and left the room.
She quickly pulled on some clothes, pulled her wet hair back and followed the
voices into the office where Cade, Lex and several other Pack wolves had
gathered and were having a terse discussion.
Lex looked up when she walked in. Carter s body was just found near my
parents
place in North Bend.
Nina raised an eyebrow and went to pour herself a cup of coffee. She opened
her mouth and then shut it again quickly. What could she say? Good? She
certainly wasn t sorry, but at the same time, she knew enough to know it
couldn t bode well for the
Pack.
She sat on the arm of the chair Cade was in and, changing her mind, put the
mug in front of him and got up to get herself another. She shot a look at Lex
and held up the pot but he shook his head.
Settling back in, she realized that the warmth and appreciation she d felt was
from
Cade and that she was supposed to still be pissed at him. She gave a mental
shrug.
She d punish him later for fun. Now was the time for unity.
This is clearly a message, Alpha. I know there s something going on and we
can t deal with it effectively if we don t know what is happening, one of the
other wolves
Eric? Derek? said to Cade.

Message?
Lex turned to Nina. He was shot in the back of the head with silver shot and
left openly in Pack territory. That s a not-so-good sign that the mafia is
involved.
The mafia? What would organized crime care about werewolves and coffee?
The werewolf mafia. Lex turned to Cade as Nina processed that one.
The werewolf mafia? They had to be kidding!
It was so absurd she fought the urge to laugh.
None of these wolves were Carter s. We need to tell them. Derek is right.
This has gone too far. The more secrets we keep, the worse it s going to be.
Cade sighed and nodded. Lex explained the missing virus, the laptop and the

embezzlement, and the other wolves sat down in shock.
And obviously at this point we know Carter had something to do with it. I
mean, you don t get tapped by the mob, furry or not, if you re a nice wolfie
boy from Seattle just minding your own business. Nina thought it over.
Yes. The real question is at this point, what s next for the Rogues? Lex
paced the room as he spoke.
Well, if I were them, I d want to make sure the virus was ready. Was it?
We obviously hadn t done human trials yet. We were trying to set something up
with humans who had been infected involuntarily. It doesn t happen all that
often and there are ethics that need to be minded.
Except for her brother. She wanted to remind them that Gabriel hadn t been
asked to be changed but she let it go. She nodded. Okay. And what about the
effect on wolves?
Lex winced. That would be some creepy shit, Nina, if we d given it to wolves
not knowing what would happen.
Duh. I didn t ask if you d gone all creepy evil scientist. I just didn t know
if you d had any extrapolations by your scientists about what may happen.
The other wolves in the room stiffened when Nina popped off to Lex. Lex
brooked no disrespect and they hadn t ever seen anyone other than Cade speak
to him like that before. In fact, most of them acted utterly terrified of him,
which made her laugh, but she d seen enough of him to know that how he treated
her and those who he was close to was very different than how he treated
enemies.
Nina noticed and laughed. Don t worry, I still think he s the big bad wolf.
I m just snotty, I can t help it.
And you re Second, too, Cade said with a shrug and a grin.
Oh yeah, I am.
Lex groaned. Can we not give her any ammo right now and keep focused on the
problem at hand?
Nina snickered and nodded. Of course, darling.

He snorted and began to pace again.
Back to the subject, he shot a raised eyebrow at Nina, the researchers were
divided. Some of them felt it would be harmless because it was already in our
systems, the others felt it would be like a viral agent, causing our systems
to turn on themselves. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
