getting horny, swimming in testosterone, she’d blown her chance to learn what was going on. “Alec sent me to wait. I guess he’ll tell me all about it when he comes back up.”
“You think just ’cause he fucks you he’ll tell you everything?”
She lifted her chin. “Yeah, he will.” He promised he would. And I’ll fuck him again to make sure he doesn’t go back on his word. Of course, as hot as her cunt was now, she’d fuck him just to ease the ache—not that she’d let him have it without a fight. Her body craved more of his sweet violence.
Todd stomped to his desk and picked up his deputy’s hat. “I have to get on the road, but you find out what they’re doing here. By the way, who’s staying with Sissy tonight?”
“Mrs. Hughes said she’d check in on her. She’s plenty old enough to be on her own at night.”
“She’d have to be with a slut like you for a sister.”
Stasia had heard that slur so often, she no longer flinched.
“You find out what’s going on here. I’ll see you later.”
“Sure thing,” she said and sauntered toward Alec’s office to wait for him to come.

“Listen to me, Alec,” Max said his expression turning from irritated to deadly earnest. “What I tell you has to stay between us for now—until I can speak to the warlairds.”
Alec shook his head. “Do you really think they’ll grant you an audience?”
His fists tightened around the bars. “If they aren’t the ones who agreed to an alliance with a homicidal maniac—then yes, they will.”
Alec’s heart stilled, and then pumped a slow, thudding beat. “What are you talking about? Still having problems with weres in Vero?”
“No, we just about have your mess cleaned up.”
Alec felt heat fill his cheeks. “All I wanted was the breeder—you know we need her.”
“I understand, but she’s taken and already bred. Get over it.”
The vampire lurking in the darkness beyond the light, growled.
Alec aimed a glare at Joe Garcia. “After she drops her cubs…all bets are off.”
Max held his hand up when the vamp’s growls deepened. “Someone else wants her worse than you do.”
“Another pack?” Alec shrugged. He really didn’t care. The warlairds had promised the woman to him. Whoever took her would have to relinquish her to the Dark Mountain clan.
“Looks like it.” A muscle flexed in Max’s jaw. “But the thing that makes this personal is the wolves who tried to get her killed Darcy Henry. She was my friend, a human—and pregnant. I want the hides of the wolves responsible for it. I’m demanding that satisfaction from the warlairds.”
Alec felt his stomach clench—he’d liked the woman. So Darcy had poor taste in lovers, she hadn’t deserved to die. “You think it was one of the clans? Not just a few rogues?”
“Their attack on the compound was organized. They worked like a team—not like rogues in their first bloodlust.”
“You don’t think our clan was involved—”
“No. That’s why I need to speak to the lairds. They can find out who crossed into the forbidden territory.”
“It couldn’t have been any deep cover operatives, like we were. They’d never bring that kind of attention to themselves.”
“Exactly.” Max released the bars and raked a hand through his hair.
For the first time, Alec noted the weariness etched deeply in the lines surrounding his brother’s mouth.
Max’s gaze, empty of all resentment, looked hollow. “But it gets worse.”
Alec heard the despair in Max’s voice and stiffened. This couldn’t be good if it frightened his stoic older brother.
“Whoever the wolves are, they made a pact with a real devil—a winged vamp who’s bent on taking the breeder for his own purposes. And he’s not playing nice with his own people. He’s kidnapped scientists—geneticists who can help him grow more winged demons in a Petrie dish using the breeder’s eggs. Zachary Powell isn’t wrapped too tight. If he gets his hands on her,
