open his door and pulled Heidi out into the blizzard-like weather.
Or maybe this was a blizzard. Nicolo had never seen one before. Tucked under his arm, she had no problem hurrying next to him to the door of the den. When he pounded on it, it swung open almost immediately.
“I thought I heard a truck,” Erin said, greeting them along with a burst of heat that came from a fire she had roaring in her fireplace.
“Where is your mate?” Nicolo let go of Heidi long enough to shut the door behind him. When he’d turned around again, his youngest littermate stared at Heidi with an odd expression on her face.
“He’s already out there.” Erin waved toward the door, not taking her gaze off Heidi.
When he put his arm around Heidi, Erin’s jaw dropped and Heidi bristled. He didn’t have time for the bitches to start fighting.
“This is Heidi Lutgard. I’m sure you two remember each other.” He searched Erin’s face until she finally looked up at him questioningly.
“I remember the lunewulf who helped me when I got stolen and taken to her pack,”
she said quietly. “But what is she doing here?”
“Now she needs our protection. Keep her here with you until I come back for her.”
“Okay,” Erin said slowly.
And then to make sure his littermate understood, Nicolo grabbed Heidi’s jaw, turning her face to his, and laid a possessive kiss on her. Then he hurried back out into the cold.
Heidi’s heart pounded too hard for her to catch her breath while cold and hot air attacked her at once. She hadn’t remembered the bitch’s name but had recognized her 38

immediately. It had been months since she’d seen her, but the young bitch didn’t look that different. Although at the moment, worry and concern wrinkled her brow, bringing her coal-black eyebrows together. The air around them filled with a mixture of both of their emotions.
“Do you mind explaining to me what I just saw?” Erin asked her, moving first and stepping into her den.
Heidi didn’t move. No matter that they were different breeds, until the bitch of this den welcomed Heidi, she would stay put, even if it meant standing here until Nicolo returned.
“Honestly, I’m not sure what you just saw.”
Erin flung long black hair over her shoulder. Spicy anger almost made Heidi sneeze. For a moment, Heidi swore the furniture rattled around them. The wind had to be blowing outside harder than she thought.
“Don’t lie to me,” Erin hissed. “Nicolo doesn’t run with just any bitch. In fact, I don’t remember when I’ve last seen him with a female. Plenty have tried to catch his attention, but he’s picky as hell.”
“Really?” Heidi said, grinning before she had a chance to check her emotions.
Erin narrowed her gaze, flames from the fire reflecting on dark hair that fell to her waist. Her caramel-colored flesh looked smooth and unblemished. Erin wasn’t a bitch who’d been in a lot of fights. Not that Heidi could imagine her having to defend herself a lot with older littermates like Nicolo and Dimitri.
“Tell me why I just saw him kiss you,” Erin demanded.
Heidi told her. What little there was, and as much as it didn’t make sense to Heidi, she shared how she’d met Nicolo and then about seeing him again today. Whether it would get her thrown out in the snow or not, she had no clue by Erin’s expression, but she honored Nicolo’s littermate with the simple facts. She waited when she finished, letting the silence build between them.
“And I thought I had it rough when I chased after my mate,” Erin finally muttered, then turned and left the small living area.
Heidi still didn’t move. She studied the comfortable space around her, noting that although the cabin looked simple, there was a warmth to it. A lot of love filled this den.
“Join me for coffee,” Erin called out from the other room.
Heidi had been accepted into the den. It took Erin a few minutes, and seriously, Heidi couldn’t
