chuckled, heading for the door. “I need to think. You know where I will be.”
With her hands lightly clasped together, she assured him, “I will tend to Borhan’s wounds and see him off. He will know that Dak and Calus will be his escorts. He is not stupid.” She smiled sadly. “I’ll tell you as soon as anyone returns.”

N ot as strong as Calt or Red, Bloo promised Ali she could handle a passenger, even though it was her first time. Too worried about their friends to argue, Ali climbed on and trusted the she-wolf. True to her word her footing was sure, if not a bit slower than the alphas had been, but that was to be expected. Plus there was the tricky aspect of following tracks even when they veered off in unexpected directions at the same time. It was impossible to be fast when spinning in circles.
“They tried to throw us off! These make no sense!” Ali called down. Bloo in her wolf form could only nod, and she dipped back to the other direction every time they hit a dead end. This happened no less than six times. “Damn, Lucin, you are a crafty fucker!” Ali mumbled, knowing it had to have been his idea. He was always telling her how he wanted to be taken more seriously, and this was surely a way for him to show them all. Even now he was trying to impress his alpha, and it pulled at Ali’s heart to know it.
When snow began to fall, Ali cried out, “NO!” Bloo turned in circles so fast that Ali swayed and had to grab harder onto her fur. “Okay, whoa! Don’t lose it. We’ll find them. We’ve got to!” Bloo barked, and Ali answered, “I know. I know! There will be no way to with their tracks getting covered up like this. What do we do?!”
Bloo headed in the direction of Red’s den.
“Oh shit! No, Bloo! No!” The wolf barked and picked up speed. Ali muttered, “I’m sorry. You’re right. They probably asked them for help.”
Ali tightened her legs around the she-wolf’s middle and lowered her torso to reduce wind-resistance. It was fucking freezing out, but now Ali’s skin heated up. She bit her lips, calling to her lost friend in a hurried whisper, “C’mon, Lorn, be there! Don’t torture me for nothing.”

T he boulder barred the entrance . Bloo slowed and Ali stared at the tree, feeling like her heart might explode out of her chest, it was pounding so hard. Her hands were sweaty and she had to remind herself to breathe. Climbing off, she waited for Bloo to shift as she stared at that sequoia.
Two months.
It had been two whole months since she’d seen him. Or was it more? She couldn’t remember; the nights toppled into each other without hindrance of a clock.
She shook her legs out to get the blood pumping, sending snow flying everywhere. Glancing nervously to her friend, she shrugged. “You think they’re here? Because we could search around some more.”
Bloo, taller than Ali by at least three inches now, cocked an eyebrow at her. “You are freaking out. Get it together.”
“I’m doing my best.”
“Do you want me to knock?”
They weren’t given a chance to decide, because the boulder started to move. The three brothers came into view and Ali stared at them, unable to speak. Like they were one person, they turned their heads in unison to eyeball the visitors. Ali’s stomach dropped as Red appeared in the doorway, his beard slightly longer, his hair a sexy mess, his blue eyes stewing with mixed emotions as he frowned at the two females. Then he stared at Ali as though everyone else disappeared.
With that look in his eyes, he stepped out onto the snow with bare feet, a pelt wrapped around his body. It was the first time she’d seen him wearing one and while he was stunning naked, there was something very stimulating about him wearing all that caveman-like fur. Damn.
She took a step toward him, her throat going dry. “Hi.”
“Hey,” he answered, his voice as raspy as she remembered. He looked toward Bloo and then snapped back to Ali, his blue eyes
