so listen to me.”
    “I could give a shit about any of it,” Parker was still gleeful.
    “You’ll do your part, cub,” Blake reminded him.
    “Yes, yes. I have to marry Belle Vaughn for king and country. Have puppies. Whatever.” Parker rolled his eyes.
    “ Mari bella De Vaughn. At least learn her name.” Drew sighed.
    “We need this alliance with the DeVaughns. They have those mineral rights in Nevada.” Blake added.
    “So, what are you going to do about Randi?” Drew asked.
    “Keep her here. Keep her working on the project. Maybe help her figure out why David killed himself. She’s convinced I did something and, at first, I thought she was right. But now, I’m not so sure. He didn’t leave a note, but he did leave a piece of paper with my name written on it. If it was your last thought on earth, wouldn’t you want it to be meaningful?”
    Drew raised a brow, looking much like his brother with the expression. “I’d never kill myself, so I couldn’t say.”
    “That’s the thing. I didn’t think David would either. He was a man of reason and science.”
    “Whose foundations got shot all to fuck when he found out werewolves, witches and vampires were real,” Parker said.
    “No, no.” Blake shook his head. “I really don’t think so. The man possessed more curiosity than a cat. Curious always beats out fear. I can’t help but think I’m missing something from the equation.”
    “Maybe you are, but how are you going to get Randi to listen to you? You have every reason to try to change her mind and none to tell the truth,” Drew said, the constant voice of logic.
    “You’re right. So, she needs to decide for herself that I’m telling the truth. I just have to help get her there.”
    “Yeah, that sounds easy. Not .” Parker laughed. “After a look at her? Goddess, but she looks like she’d flay the hide off you. All that red hair and the fire in her eyes? She’s like some kind of Amazon. I’m glad I’ve got the delicate, docile heiress who will do as she’s told.”
    Blake snorted. “You ever actually been with a she-wolf, son? Because they’ll tear your face off, too. And you’ll like it.”
    “I leave the bucking bronco riding to you two. I like my girls soft, sweet, and with no bite.” Parker said.
    “More’s the pity to you,” Blake said as he and Drew exchanged a look of sympathy for their errant brother.
    “When he grows up and starts liking women instead of girls, he’ll understand.” Drew gave an over-exaggerated nod. “Maybe it’s time to have the talk with him, Blake. You know, about boy wolves and girl wolves and how the little—” he spared a glance at Parker and cleared his throat “—tiny car drives into the garage.”
    “That’s not what she said. I think I better go smooth over my introduction with Ms. Randi Rutger.” Parker smirked and walked out of the room, whistling.
    Blake loved his brother—lived for him, breathed for him, would die for him—but in that moment, he considered punching him until he couldn’t lift his arm.
    “You know he’s just yanking your chain, right?” Drew said. “He’d never try to trespass with your mate.”
    “She’s technically not mine. Not until I bite her.”
    “Parker would never do it,” Drew reassured him.
    “I know. And I know he’s just fucking with me, but this is not the right time. My wolf was ready to tear his head off. What sucks is it will only get worse. It would be different if I’d chosen my mate. If we’d bonded slowly over time, like so many do. But, no, I had to be stubborn and wait for The One.” He flicked his fingers in the air to emphasize his disdain.
    “You made the right choice, Blake. This way, your offspring will be stronger. More powerful. More connected to the land and to the Goddess. This is what is best for the pack.”
    “You know what’s not best for the pack? If I tear apart any cub wolf for looking at my mate.”
    “That’s why you trained. That’s why you’re
