“Plenty, and I wasn’t lying, nor did I set you up. Elonso might have answers, and he really is kind of
pissed at us right now, but Janelle might have answers as well. I brought you here to get you away from Rhyson. I came here to find out if you brought your man here to kill mine.”
The room crackled with energy, and I stilled. “Rhyson is not my man, and we’d never even heard of Troy until we got here looking for Morven.”
“So you’re not from the mountain at all,” Kiana said flatly. “You truly came here to find the man who killed Rhyson’s brother.”
“I didn’t,” I told her honestly. “I came to tell Rhyson that he had a child on the way. Instead of a hero, I found myself trapped on a mountain where everyone wants to either kill me or save me. You apparently haven’t decided what you need to do.”
Janelle’s head snapped up. “We have company.”
The door broke open, and Rhyson’s enormous wolf broke through.
He wasn’t alone. “Move!” Kiana shouted, shoving me and the witches back into the living room just as a black wolf broke in after Rhyson.
Troy.
“Someone is going to die,” I whispered.

Rhyson
“Rhyson, I am in no danger,” Nyx insisted. “There is no need to fight.”
Kiana cleared her throat. “Troy, back down. Now.”
The alpha and I stared at each other. Instinctively, my wolf knew that he was protecting his mate and his territory, but my sanity was hanging by a thread. When I learned that Nyx had gone off by herself, I’d lost my mind. We only had a stranger’s word that we were safe here.
I don’t know who moved first, but suddenly, we were both in the air, each aiming for the other’s
throat.
“Roosavier!” the blonde shouted.
With a grunt, we both fell to the floor. Grunting, I tried to rise, but there was something invisible pulling me down. I could barely budge an inch. When Troy growled unhappily, I knew he was in the
same boat.
“Irene!” Kiana snapped, and raced to Troy’s side. To my shock, Troy sat up and shook his whole body before glaring at me.
“What? I didn’t hurt them, although the spell isn’t all that strong. It won’t hold them for more than twenty or thirty minutes. Not nearly long enough to talk some sense into them. How many times do I have to make it clear that I do not like it when wolves fight in my kitchen! It takes forever to
order new dishes!”
“Release Rhyson.”
Nyx’s voice was calm. Too calm. In all the chaos, I hadn’t really focused on her, but I turned my head and saw that she was on all fours. Her change had begun.
“Or you’ll eat us all?” Irene sighed. “The spell isn’t hurting him.”
“You don’t understand. I’m not doing this on purpose.” She made a small whimpering noise. “I’m losing control. Release him. Or cast the same spell on me.”
“Fine.” Irene reached her arms up and closed her eyes. Whatever spell she wanted to cast never left her mouth. One minute, Nyx was still mid-shift, and the next, she was a wolf and jumping on Irene. I roared, and Troy threw himself at Nyx.
“Shit,” Kiana growled. “Troy, get away from her.” She raced to my side and touched me. The spell somehow dissolved around me, and I turned. To my relief, Troy had backed off, but he was
