that they find. Have they found anything that the wolves might want?”
     
    “Not that I know of.” They walked into the cubicle room, still talking and discussing the matter.
     
    “They might be able to buy the land from them, but I don’t know where they would get the money.”
     
    “How much do they need again?”
     
    “About one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for eight acres with electricity hookups.” Gregor explained, still concerned about the entire situation. “I think that the coyotes might be able to come up with that kind of money.
     
    “Will they let them stay in the meantime? Maybe they could make payments.” Dom suggested, hoping to solve the situation a little better.
     
    “I’ll suggest that next time. Is the investigation at your house done yet?” Gregor asked. He was nervous about bringing her home. He liked the fact that she was safe in this building. He honestly didn’t want her to leave but he didn’t think that it would work. Nothing he did would convince her of what he wanted. He made up his mind anyway, he was going to try to convince her to go someplace safer.
     
    “I gave them my key earlier, we can check to see if their finished.” Dom walked over to one of the investigators and asked if they were done checking for clues, when she got an informative answer she nodded to Gregor.
     
    Before they left, Gregor stopped the young woman. “Are you sure you don’t want to go someplace safe?”
     
    Dom stopped and looked at him like he had just suggested that she had two heads. “Aren’t we going to have guards?”
     
    “Yeah, but I’m still not sure it’s the safest idea.” Gregor touched her and was encouraged when she didn’t pull away from him.
     
    “I’ll be fine.” Dom insisted. “I’m not going to run away because of this. I’m not that type of girl.”
     
    “I don’t think that it’s a good idea. Vampires aren’t the nicest people if they’re mad at you.”
     
    “That’s putting it nicely. I know they’ll hurt me, but if I give in and run away, they’ll win.” Dom was insistent. She wasn’t going to run away from her home because of this.
    Gregor’s voice held a deep concern, there was tension in it, a frustrated knowledge that he wasn’t going to win and she was just too strong. “I would hate to see your stubbornness get you killed.”
     
    “My stubbornness isn’t going to get my killed. My house is safe, they couldn’t get inside and they had to do all of their damage outside of the house.” Dom’s stance grew firm, strong. She wasn’t going to give in.
     
    “Maybe I want you to be safe.” Gregor pointed out.
     
    The thought had crossed her mind, but she didn’t think that he would actually admit it. She took a moment to collect her thoughts. “It’s my life and I’m not going to let them run it for me. I make the decisions in my life, the rest of you don’t. It’s my life, and other people don’t get to make my decisions for me.”
     
    Gregor wanted to shake her. “You are the most frustrating woman I’ve ever known.” Gregor announced to her. “You’re absolutely beautiful, but you are so damn stubborn.”
     
    Dom stopped again; she needed a moment to find a retort to his sudden outburst. She looked him in the eyes. She saw nothing within them except for the deep concern he felt for her. She saw the pain her decision was causing him, but didn’t want to give up the only home she had ever known, even if it was just for a few days. For a moment, she thought about the baby, subconsciously touching her abdomen, and wondered if it would be better for the child if she didn’t put herself at risk like that.
     
    A part of her knew that he was trying to do the typical shifter thing, protecting a mate, or a potential mate, but that part didn’t want to be subordinate to him, whether or not she was having his child. It took a moment for all of these thoughts to run through her head, before she was ready to respond.
