and injured her so many years ago.
    “Well,” Badger said, settling back in his seat as he crossed his enormous arms over his chest. “Ye bloody well went and did it. I warned ye.”

    * * * *

    Fortunately, the flight was open seating. Badger opted to board with Joaquin ahead of the rest of them and sat in back, ensuring they were seated far enough apart from the other four to keep Joaquin out of Beck’s line of sight.
    No use in poking the wolf, Dewi thought.
    She felt badly about having to Prime Beck, but exhaustion had set in, she felt nervous, she was already stressed to the max by the wedding, and now… this .
    A pissing contest between two Alpha wolf men, especially two Enforcers under her command, would not be tolerated.
    As she and Ken settled into their seats, Ken by the window, Dewi laced fingers with him and gave him a smile. “This’ll be okay. If you change your mind and want me to Prime you, let me know.”
    He squeezed her hand. “I appreciate it, babe. I want to try it on my own first. Maybe it won’t be as bad as I worried it might.”
    Poor Ken. He didn’t fly. He hadn’t driven much, either, when she’d met him a few months earlier, because his stupid step-brother had “borrowed” and wrecked his car. He’d been down to riding a bicycle for transportation.
    Ken had gone through a lot of changes since they’d mated. All of them positive, as far as Dewi could tell.
    Considering he’d had the strength of will to disobey a direct order she’d given him to not pick up a gun, and then he’d shot and killed another Prime Alpha wolf trying to kill her and him both, and then he’d marked her…
    Yeeeaaah.
    Dr. Heathcliff McKenzie Ethelbert might look like a harmless geek to someone who didn’t know him, but Dewi knew the truth. So did Badger and Beck. She trusted Ken, knew he bore an inner furnace few would ever see, one that burned bright and strong when need be, even if he didn’t yet feel sure about it himself.
    And boy, did she love the hell out of him.
    Ken did okay on the takeoff, relaxing once they were out over the Gulf of Mexico. Their flight had a stop in Denver to take on fuel and passengers but they wouldn’t have to deplane.
    “See?” she gently said. “Piece of cake.”
    Nami reached over the back of Ken’s seat and patted him on the shoulder. “You’re doin’ real good there, hon.”
    “I didn’t think you’d flown much before,” he said to Nami.
    “I haven’t, but mostly because of economics, not because I was scared to. I’ve flown a couple of times in my life.”
    Now that the seatbelt sign had been turned off, Nami wanted to talk Dewi’s ear off about the wedding preparations that still needed to be finalized. Peyton and Trent’s mates had been helping Nami arrange things long-distance on their end, but Nami wanted things just right.
    Apparently, Peyton and Trent had instructed their mates to do whatever Nami asked. If it meant they got the wedding they wanted for their little sister, the brothers would make sure it happened regardless of the cost.
    Dewi wasn’t happy with it but knew resistance was futile. She didn’t want the additional humiliation of Peyton Priming her, as both her big brother and as the pack’s Alpha, into going along with this.
    She had a modicum of dignity remaining.
    If left up to her, she and Ken would have been married already by a clerk of the court at the county courthouse.
    Peyton had laid down the law to her in no uncertain terms that if she tried to elope like that there would be hell to pay.
    She supposed the least she could do was appease the two of them.
    No, she hadn’t had a normal upbringing, even by wolf standards. Badger, more or less an uncle by pack relations, had done a great job of rearing her, training her, and giving her fatherly love and affection despite there technically not being a blood tie. Beck, too, although when Dewi had turned eighteen she’d finally managed to get Beck to quit resisting her
