blame her. She remembered how shocked she’d been when she’d seen the Malta bitch standing outside Tamara and Martin’s den when Heidi still lived with them. Heidi helped Erin that night, getting her out of Heidi’s territory and back to the safety of her own kind. Apparently, Erin would return the favor. Except that Heidi hadn’t been abducted and brought here. She’d almost forced the situation just to get here. Remembering Nicolo’s hands on her, his mouth on hers, she didn’t think he’d minded too much.

    Heidi helped Erin with the coffee and then the two of them returned to the living room. The large fireplace heated the entire cabin, and although it did a decent job, the living area definitely was the warmest room in the den.
    “Does your pack leader know you’re here?” Erin asked.
    “Oh shit. I was supposed to call him once I arrived at the den where I’d be staying until the storm blew over.”
    Heidi pulled out her cell phone and placed the call. She sighed loudly with relief when it went over to voicemail. Quickly, she told Bob she was staying with a bitch in her den and would be safe here during the storm.
    “Your pack leader is okay with you being here?” Erin asked.
    “He was pissed as hell,” Heidi admitted and blew on her coffee.
    “I don’t see how you two think you can pull off any kind of relationship. Our breeds hate each other.”
    “But why do we hate each other?” Heidi stared Erin in the eye, seriously wanting to hear her take on the situation.
    “All breeds hate us,” Erin said, shrugging as if it didn’t matter to her and turning her attention to the fire. “At this rate, we’re going to need to bring in more firewood from the shed.”
    “Maybe you’re feared because you aren’t understood. Is it true you were all altered somehow by some pack leader on the Malta island?”
    “Not all of us. And that isn’t something I want to talk about.”
    “You see,” Heidi pointed out, waving the air between them and making Erin frown.
    Obviously the bitch didn’t see. “Any werewolf will avoid something he or she doesn’t understand. Maybe if you weren’t so hushed about how you’re different, things would be easier for our breeds.”
    “Maybe,” was all Erin said, and then sipped at her coffee.
    Heidi hated submitting more than anything—no matter if it were to a male or female. Granted, she loved the domination Nicolo challenged her with. But she’d be damned if she would submit to him. And as the silence between them grew, Heidi knew she wouldn’t be able to submit to Erin’s desire to not discuss something in her own den.
    “Why don’t you want to talk about it?” They had to talk about something or it would be one long fucking night with the bitch. “Is it true you can read minds?”
    For a moment, Erin looked pissed enough to storm out of the room. “I can’t,” she said, her mouth barely moving.
    “So some of you can do some things while others of you can’t?”
    “Pretty much.”
    “Actually, that’s kind of cool.” Heidi had to say something to get Erin’s anger to subside. Maybe offering something personal about herself might help. “I’ve lived on 40

    our mountain now for almost five years. Before that, I ran from pack to pack. Your littermates really care about you. I sensed that on the ride over here. You’re lucky to have such a loving den.”
    “What happened to your den?” Erin asked, proving that a bitch’s curiosity would overcome her anger.
    “I was whelped in the Prince George pack in Canada. But when the pack leader created laws about mating that my parents didn’t approve of, we moved. I was a teenager at the time.” Heidi hated allowing the terrible memories to surface. She’d forced the conversation though, and she swallowed the lump that quickly swelled in her throat. Even so, her stomach twisted painfully as she spoke. “Both of my parents and my younger littermate were
