couldn’t talk to her about it, she said she wants me to bring Aspen to Juneau for a visit or Meadow and her mate Durlach will come here. She made it perfectly clear she was going to remain a part of my life.”
    “So you told her about Dad.” Blaise said it as a statement.
    “Yes. Meadow also offered a couple options if he starts to go downhill fast. She said she’d get Durlach to bite Dad and see if he would gain immortality like them, or she’d talk to Ryder, the sentinels’ shaman, about seeing Dad and trying to cure him with a magic spell.”
    The sentinels were the only werewolves who were able to turn a human, or mortal, as they called them. The six original sentinels were the very first werewolves, who were from the ice age. Their shaman back then had used a spell to create them. They had different aspects about them that modern-day werewolves, their descendants, didn’t have. Like being able to turn humans and werewolves alike, making them hybrids, and being immortal.
    Blaise met Taylor’s gaze. “The first one, I know for a fact Dad wouldn’t tolerate. He’d be a mix of werewolf and cougar, and who knows if that would even be possible. Plus, if he became immortal, then Mom would have to be turned as well since she would want the same life span as him. The shaman on the other hand, I wouldn’t turn him away.”
    Taylor nodded. “I already told Meadow I’d be giving Ryder a call if it becomes necessary. She was going to pass on that message to him.” His brother paused before he spoke again. “So you’ve been having doubts about Caleb as well?”
    “Yes I have. I didn’t really until the other day. Before that, I was starting to question if he was going to be able to help Dad. Now I’m wondering if he’s purposely making him sick.”
    “Even though Caleb is our cousin, we aren’t as close nor know him as well as we do Jase and Grady. He was raised in his mother’s family group after our uncle disappeared and his mother died. We’d have to know for sure he’s deliberately causing Dad harm before we accuse him of it. For one thing, Dad wouldn’t believe us. He’s always tried to look out for Caleb when he could.”
    “Even paying to send him to medical school. I know we’d have to have proof. Hopefully the blood tests Harley does will show something.”
    “We don’t know for sure, but you realize there’s more than a good chance she’ll see the differences in our blood compared to a human’s.”
    “I know that. I’ll deal with it if it comes down to that.”
    “How?”
    “I’ll tell her exactly what I am, what we are.”
    “Be prepared for her not to accept it.”
    “I will be. She hasn’t set off the magic in my pendant. There’s a chance she never will. I’ll let her go if she can’t handle the truth. And I’m pretty sure she’ll keep the secret of our existence as well. If she told anyone I doubt they’d believe her, and she’ll know that. She’s not stupid.”
    “And if she does set off the magic? What will you do then if she still doesn’t want to be with you?”
    Blaise shrugged. “I have no damn idea. I’ll have to hope she’ll come around as Aspen did for you.”
    Taylor smiled. “That had a lot to do with the fact Mom went to talk to her and explained everything about us.”
    “Then I guess I’ll have to ask Mom to do the same thing for me.”
    His brother clapped him on the shoulder. “We’ll have to wait and see if it comes to that. In the meantime, let’s hope Harley does find something to help Dad, be it giving proof Caleb is doing something fishy or a solid answer as to what Dad’s illness is. I’m going to head back to the house. I told Aspen I would talk to you, then we’re going for a horseback ride.”
    Blaise watched Taylor change to his cougar form once more, then take off at a run toward the house. He shifted as well but headed in the opposite direction. He still had some time to kill before Harley arrived.
    He thought over all the
