what was his. Everything happened so fast. Kaden hit one of the guys in the back of the head with the bottle, the other charged Kaden but he was pinned against the table as Kaden’s fist connected to his jaw.
    “Kaden what the hell are you doing?” Rick yelled. He ran from behind the counter to get to Kaden.
    “What did you do to her this time, huh? Do you jackasses realize you might expose us to humans? Have you lost your fucking mind? You are going to keep your fucking distance from Victoria Lane,” Kaden said each word to the flow of his punches.
    “Kaden I said that is enough. Now knock it the fuck off,” Rick screamed as he managed to pull Kaden off the guy.
    “If I find out you’ve been sniffing around Victoria and pulling your shit again I will make your ass regret it.”
    “Hey cool it King Kong,” Rick said as he went to help the one guy on the floor groaning in pain as he rubbed the back of his head where a cut was starting to gradually heal.
    “Ow, are you crazy attacking people for no reason,” complained the male that Kaden hit with a bottle.
    “You bastards deserve a lot worse for what you have been doing to that woman. Why the hell have you been bothering her?”
    “Who —you mean the human woman?”
    “Who the fuck else do you think I am talking about? I am talking about the woman who you have been terrorizing without a fucking good reason.”
    After standing on his own two feet without assistance he glanced over to get a look at his attacker. He paled as he recognized Kaden.
    “She deserved it for what she did. You should know. She wouldn’t let your mom keep those houses. She took them from us and is now auctioning them off.”
    “And where did you hear this bullshit?”
    “Your mom told the pack this.  She has been trying to get the homes back for us.”
    “You are lying.”
    “No he isn’t lying,” Rick said as he stepped in Kaden’s path to prevent him from attacking the man.
    “Then why didn’t you tell me this Rick.”
    “I thought your mom told you that’s why I didn’t say much. She did tell you? I mean you know the deal right, which is why I asked you to help out in the first place to see what you could do.”
    What the fuck are you doing mom? This is unacceptable.
    He realized that his mother was playing a dangerous game and he had to stop her in her tracks. She had him thinking one thing, but had the pack believing some bullshit that wasn’t true, and was putting the blame where it didn’t belong. It was almost like she wanted the pack to go bat shit crazy. He got it. She was upset from the lack of support from the pack and the blind eye to the abuse dealt out by Morgan.
    Still two wrongs don’t make a right.
    “The both of you and anyone else who is involved better stay away from Victoria.”
    “We were just having fun man. It wasn’t like we hurt her or anything.”
    “No you didn’t but I heard what you said. After the auction you were planning on taking it to the next level!”
    “We weren’t serious. Just joking that’s all.”
    Kaden took a menacing step forward.
    “Easy there Kaden. You already beat him real nice and good. Is this the way you want to make examples out of people or do you want to take a different route? ”
    Kaden took a few steps back. He growled out in frustration. This is not the way he wanted to leave his mark in this town with the pack. Kaden was a talking individual and he found that sometimes situations worked out better by simply talking it out. Rarely did he have to handle problems with his fists. Yet at the same damned time it felt good. Not the violence bit but the idea that he was protecting his fucking mate.
    Shit! Rick might be right. Fuck that I’m in control. She is not going to be mine. I can fight this.
    “Sorry for disrespecting your business Rick but these two fellas have been terrorizing Victoria Lane and I am putting an end to it,” Kaden directed at Rick before addressing the other two again. “I think you
