adrenalin and had no more energy for fighting or even talking. She turned, “I’m serious Dante; I don’t want to do this with you right now.”
    Dante stepped out from behind a tree. “What is going on Bailey? You seem upset, tense. Is it that stupid sheriff?”
    “Are you kidding me? I just did CPR on our mother and I was naked. I can’t believe you’re doing this right now. Nothing is going on with me and sheriff Nunn. In fact I want to go home, now.”
    Dante looked shaken. “If that’s what you want, we’ll go right away.”
    “Will you please tell me what’s going on with you, I feel like you’re hiding something from me.” Bailey knew that he was hiding something from her, ever since she woke up in the hospital. She couldn’t remember much of what happened.
    “I just want to take care of you Bailey. You’re my sister and I’m your Alpha now, I want you to know I’m here if you need me.”
    Bailey felt provoked at his innocent statement. “Yeah, thank for all of your love and protection Dante but where were you two months ago or even before that? I tried to convince you to take over the pack long before your children were taken. You left me to be sacrificed when you could have prevented it.”
    Dante suddenly understood her recent distance from him. “You blame me for what happened? I admit I should have been there for you but-”
    She cut him off, “No Dante, I’m sorry I don’t blame you. I’ve just had a really hard day. I’d like to be alone.”
    “ Bailey, I’m so sorry. Please let’s just talk about things. I know I’ve done wrong but…”
    She couldn’t take it anymore, “No, stop! I don’t want to talk to you or hear your excuses. It’s not your fault; I should have left a long time ago.”
    “Leave? I forbid you to leave. You’re my sister and you’re fragile. I want to protect you!” He growled the last.
    “I’m pretty sure I’ve proven I can take care of myself. Here is your notice, as Alpha, that I will be looking for a new pack. I can’t stay in Sacramento.” She turned dismissing him and walked towards her car.

 
    Chapter 3
     
    Dante stood on the side of the house worrying over his mother, and even more alarmed by his sister. He’d never realized she held so much resentment towards him. He couldn’t be mad because she was right, he had been a coward, and she was the hero; yet all the respect went to him as Alpha. He knew if he tried to up her position in the pack or demand respect for her, she’d be furious.
    Paul approached Dante, who seemed to be deep in deliberation. “Penny for your thought?”
    Dante tried to control the instant fury at hearing his voice. “Why does my sister’s scent linger on your skin? I told you to stay away from her.”
    “I tried Dante. She went into the woods and fainted. My brother Blake caught her and tried to help her but she ran off. I was worried so I followed her to make sure she was safe.”
    “That is my job as her Alpha and brother. You should have notified me immediately.”
    Paul was beginning to become annoyed. “She is not anyone’s job. It was my pleasure to care for her and I’ll do it again whenever I feel it’s needed, or whenever she lets me. Funny, but if I didn’t know better I’d say you have a direct connection to your sister through the bond I saw today. Ever think about using it? She’s in pain, fearful and scarred.”
    Dante grabbed Paul by the throat. “Don’t you ever presume to tell me how to treat my sister. She will be fine…she is fine.” Who was he convincing, Paul, or himself?
    “I’d like your permission to court Bailey.”
    “Not a chance.”
    “I can’t stop thinking about her.”
    “Try harder.”
    Paul sighed. “I request a transfer of pack to the American Canyon pack for Bailey.”
    “Denied, she’s the only one who can make that decision, and I hope you’ll not suggest it to her or risk my anger as Alpha and all of the trust our pack’s share.”
    “ You don’t
