article on an Everett and Marcie Gallagher. They were caught up in a multi-vehicle crash last winter in Michigan. I didn’t find an obituary, which is unusual, but the article mentions they left behind twin sons.”
“That’s so sad,” Gwen murmured.
“That matches the story Elias told us.”
Gwen swiveled in his arms and poked him in the chest. “What exactly happened? What did he tell you?”
Jacque caught her hand and brought it to his mouth where he nipped the tip of her fingers. Her breath caught and her eyes glazed over slightly. He loved how she responded to his every touch. As much as he wanted to drag her back to their home and take her to bed, they had a serious problem that had to be dealt with. “He walked down the main road, bold as brass.”
“I thought I felt someone watching earlier in the morning, but I couldn’t smell or see anything out of the ordinary,” Gator added. “I think it was him.”
“He’s that good?” Louis asked.
Jacque nodded. “He’s good. He knew Cole was in the woods watching.”
“That makes him exceptional,” Armand pointed out. They all knew Cole was like a ghost in the woods.
“What did he want?” Joseph Blanchard asked. It was only lately that Cole’s father had started speaking up at pack meetings. He still wasn’t used to the openness of this pack, but he was getting there.
“He is a werewolf and, according to him, so was his brother. His sister-in-law was a half-breed.” Jacque wasn’t surprised when Gray gasped. She’d spent most of her life not knowing what she was. It still amazed him she hadn’t been discovered by some pack and killed. Louis immediately put his arm around his mate and pulled her close to reassure her.
“That makes the sons half-breeds as well,” Gwen pointed out.
“More like three-quarter werewolf,” Jacque corrected. “Which leads me to why Elias Gallagher walked down our road.”
“The boys.” Sylvie had been quietly listening. His cousin was very perceptive and, more than the other women, she understood pack law and hierarchy. “He wants protection for the boys.”
Jacque nodded. “He didn’t say as much, but that’s my assumption. He says one of the boys can shift.”
The room erupted in gasps of surprise and wonder. “A wolf and a half-breed having a child is almost unheard of,” his mother pointed out. Elise LaForge had come a long way since the death of her brutal mate. She no longer looked pinched and worn and was now vibrant and alive. “To have twins is beyond a miracle.” Her eyes lit with wonder. “To have one who can actually shift is the stuff of legends.”
“If it’s true,” he felt compelled to point out. “We only have Elias’s word on that.”
Jacque stood and deposited Gwen back in the chair. He stood in front of the fireplace and faced the twelve members of his pack. “We need to decide what we’re going to do. Allowing outsiders to even visit our compound opens us up to danger. I’d want to meet with Elias first and find out more before we made any decisions about the boys.”
He added that last stipulation, otherwise the women would have them moved in by the end of the day. They were all softhearted, which was fine. It was his job to protect them.
“What do you say? Do we invite Elias for a meeting?”
“Yes.” Gwen spoke first, and Jacque wasn’t surprised.
“Yes,” his mother added. The other women agreed. That left the men.
“ Oui. I think we need to know more about this man and his nephews.” Gator gave Sylvie a hug and headed to the kitchen. “I need to start making lunch.”
Jacque barely held back his grin. That was Gator. Practical in the face of any crisis. He waited, not rushing the other men. Each had to make up his own mind.
Louis and Armand agreed and that left Cole and his daddy. “Well?” Jacque wanted this done. He was a decisive man and already knew he wanted to contact Elias.
“You think it’s the right thing to do and I’ll support
