us.”
“In a nutshell, yes.” He put his arm around me and pulled me close. “I’m sorry. But not everyone was against it. The council of elders voted five to four to expel your father from the Pack. From what my mother told me, it divided our community in two, and nearly destroyed us. The part of the Pack that voted for them staying together took the truce between the Coven and the Pack very seriously.” He looked away from me as he finished: “The other part, the ones who wouldn’t accept them at all, saw your Coven as oppressors. They believed we should be able to live as we had for a thousand years, that we should be able to hunt whatever prey we wanted. Including humans.”
“Well, that’s just great.”
“Don’t worry, the treaty still stands.” He was trying to be reassuring, but I could hear the concern in his voice.
“Come on,” I said, standing and pulling on his arm to get him up to follow me. I showed him the entrance to my sanctuary and led him down the path. “Wait here,” I said as I crossed the small dark space from memory to the ledge holding the candle. I lit it and turned around to light the space for him. “We can meet here or on the island if we need to talk. Of course, we still have the dividing wall for notes.”
“You’re right.” He considered. “We’ll have to be careful until we know what kind of reaction we’re going to get.” He pulled me into his arms and kissed me so passionately that my knees almost buckled.
“I’m not letting you go again,” I whispered when he released me.
“And I’m not letting you go either.” He kissed me again, and then said, “But right now, I have to go. I’m expected back soon.”
I heard Drew calling my name the moment I slipped out of the cave. I pushed Brandon back into its mouth and stepped out into the clearing a half-second before Drew arrived. When he spotted me, he ran over and engulfed me in a hug, smothering me with in his broad chest. I smacked his arm desperately until he let me go. “Oh, sorry. I was just so worried when I couldn’t find you.”
“What’s going on?” I could tell he was upset, agitated.
“A girl’s been killed.”
“What? How?”
“At first it looked like a wolf attack. But now, Amma says she thinks it was not just a wolf.” He shook his head, “She thinks it was a werewolf. She sent me to bring you back safely.” I half-turned my head toward the hidden opening of the cave as a good-bye to Brandon and followed Drew down the path to Amma’s cabin.
