are willing to join us, then he’ll allow you to live as lesser Silverlakes.”
“ Arric… I don’t know if I can do that to my fellow wolves,” she said. Anger flushed through her. “I want to be with you, and I’m willing to run with you now, but I don’t know if I can give up my friends to become slaves in your pack.”
“ I hope it won’t be like that,” he replied. “I’m sorry, Sienna. I have to go now. Be safe.”
Arric shifted into the great white wolf and ran off towards his pack with a speed she’d not yet seen him move. He’d never been completely honest with her about her pack’s chances of survival even if they did give themselves up, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that it would be wrong for her to betray her family.
By the time she arrived back at camp, she knew what she had to do. She loved Arric, that much she knew in her heart, but he was wrong to think his pack had any right to take Blackstone territory and enslave the weak and the young. As much as she hated the idea of helping Kane, she decided that she had no option but to warn him. She would do it for Esther, and the young, and all the other wolves who’d ever shown her a bit of kindness.
Several of her pack were still sitting around the fire when she arrived back at the camp. She saw some of the women who’d teased her for years, and she realized that even these wolves didn’t deserve to die just because they were self-conscious and worried about their own places in the pack. Should the be taught a little humility at some point? Most definitely, but that didn’t mean they should be slaughtered in the night.
Sienna went off to find Kane and located him near his outdoor den. He was alone this time, and Sienna was glad she wouldn’t have to do this in front of Pelmay again.
“ What do you want now, kitten?” he asked with an exaggerated sigh.
She gritted her teeth at his insult and reminded herself why she was doing this.
“I have news that the Silverlakes are going to raid our village in the next forty-eight hours. We have to prepare for their attack and get ready to defend ourselves.”
“ Nonsense,” Kane scoffed. “What makes you think you know better than my scouts and spies? I sincerely doubt that anything you heard around your gossip circles carries any truth. Find someone else to bother with your nattering or maybe put that mouth to use doing something I’ll enjoy.”
He grabbed his crotch in a suggestive manner and Sienna felt her cheeks flush red with anger. She was sick of him always demeaning her in private and in front of others.
“We should prepare ourselves even if I’m wrong,” she said. “It’s the wise thing to do.”
“ I don’t take orders from a lowly bitch like you,” he spat. “Tirrin! Haul this whore out of here. Round up some of the other boys and teach her a lesson about her place at the bottom of the pack.”
The wolf called Tirrin stepped out of the nearby trees, followed by two more of Kane’s warrior hunters. She turned to look at the approaching wolves, and saw the curious eyes of one or two females lurking in the background as well. It seemed they were drawing a crowd.
“You’re nothing but a pathetic coward,” she said. “I’m beginning to wonder if you should even be alpha.”
Kane held his hand up, ordering Tirrin to halt his approach. “And I suppose you want to take my place? Sienna the herbalist is going to unseat me and become pack master?” He laughed loudly and several of the onlookers picked up the laughter.
Sienna didn’t let it get to her, instead using it to fuel her rage. “Yes. I challenge you here and now for alpha of the Blackstone pack.”
“ Your challenge is as worthless as that chunky round ass of yours,” he sneered. “Without the alpha gene, you’ll never be able to rule this pack.”
“ That’s where you’re wrong,” said Esther, stepping forth from the crowd. “I saw the result myself. She has the alpha gene.”
