on the conversation at hand. “There had to be a reason, Kris. No one with the honor of a wolf would give up that vow easily. There is a reason, Kris, and I really think that it is far past time for that reason to be found, honey. I really think that we need to look for it. Could it be that possibly there is something at a genetic level that caused their madness, because that is the only think I can think of that would cause them to become rapid killers, honey.” She didn’t know a lot of wolves, but from what she knew they were honorable to their very souls.
    “They were lied to,” Kris told her quietly as he shot her a look and shrugged. “They were lied to in such a way that the evidence they were given came across as truth. Nothing anyone has now can counteract what the Rebels had then and still have in their procession now. Even if we could get a hunter to listen to us we’d have to find a way to dispute what the Rebels told them all those years ago. There’s nothing and no one alive but for the five sons of the Crown who all have a death warrant on their heads. And by death warrant I mean the Rebels want the bloody and dismembered remains for genetic verification, not a living breathing Wolf.”
    “Oh god.” She knew she kept saying that but sometimes even the most intelligent of people forgot their most basic of languages. “Kris, that is…” What could she say? Nothing. Not a damn thing. “Which is why you have all been living under the radar so to speak for most part, yes?”
    Nodding he pulled one of the steaks off the grill and cooked the other, hers most likely, a little longer. “Yeah. We have no real desire to be dead so we’ve been careful to keep ourselves out of the limelight.” Pulling her steak off onto a plate, he carried them both over to her and set hers before her and put his down. Going back to the grill, he turned the flames up briefly and then scraped the grill down. “Start eating,” he told her as he ensured the grill was clean and then finally turned it off and moved back to her.
    She toyed with her fork for a moment before, “Until tonight.” She reminded softly with a whisper, “You are going to be on the front of every paper in the general New York area and then after that you will likely end up in several tabloids, or rather, we both will. The JD Foundation is big on publicity and something like the two of us leaving together, bitter rivals, it’s news.” If not for Aegis putting the two of them head to head with that falsified news article, they’d most likely be left alone. But, with that out there, the vultures would be circling and looking for more blood. Not that they had gotten it from their evening out, not in the least from the pair of lovers that had left the event. She did have to wonder how they’d twist it around, or if they’d even bother publishing anything at all. If it wasn’t good and juicy, they might not.
    He’d actually forgotten about that and looked to her with a slow nod. “Well, even I screw up royally on occasion,” he said with a quick grin. “Don’t worry about it, I may have loads of brains but I’ve also got enough brawn to discourage them from doing anything as foolish as trying to kill me now.” Reaching out he touched her hand gently stroking his fingers over her skin. “I’m not going to let anything happen to either of us, Courtney, I plan to have a very long and enjoyable life with you.”
    “That’s a very good thing, Kristof, because we need to have a very long life together to even come close to scraping the edge of what I need and want from you, from us being together.”
    Smiling slowly he picked her hand up and led it to his lips and nibbled on her fingers. “I like the sound of that. But”—he let her hand go gently, settling it on the table—“eat for now. I need to give you the rest of the tour and then I think we should settle down and talk for a while. I want to know all about you, Courtney, and not just
