two get the idea. If it happens again just know I will ban your ass from this pack. Get out and go home.”
    The two men scrambled out the door. Rick shook his head and went back behind the counter. Kaden glanced down at the floor and looked at the broken glass that came from the bottle.
    Damn it Kaden. You were out of line. That was a bit excessive, Kaden thought as he stood there silently berating himself as he stared at the floor.
    “That mess isn’t going to clean itself. I am going to get a broom and a dust pan. You are cleaning it up not me. I got a bad back.”
    “I got it just bring it old man.”
    Kaden didn’t move an inch as he waited on Rick to retrieve the broom and dust pan. He suddenly felt like his father. He wasn’t Morgan and prided himself on not turning just as mean and hateful. No, he was the opposite of his father. He would never hurt anyone the way his father did for no damned reason whatsoever. Morgan always inflicted pain for the hell of it. Kaden didn’t lack self-control.
    I am not him.
    “Damn boy you got it bad and you haven’t even made her yours,” Rick said as he hurried back over to Kaden.
    “What the hell are you talking about?”
    “Well you were over here knocking those two heads in for a human. You didn’t have to kick anyone’s ass but you did. I can only guess why and it’s because of your mate. Victoria right,” Rick said as he handed Kaden a broom to sweep up the broken glass on the ground.
    “No, I was just stopping those two from bringing unwanted attention that’s all.”
    “You must think I was born last night. Hell, she’s a looker.”
    Rick snickered as he nudged Kaden.
    “Rick not now man. I think my mom is on a mission to destroy this pack. I’m going to have to stop her and I get the feeling it’s going to be ugly.”
    I can’t allow her do whatever she has been planning.
    As Kaden cleaned up the floor he explained what happened when he went to the bank earlier this morning, skipping over details about Victoria that didn’t needed to be said, and repeated everything his mother had told him. And from the looks of it his mother wanted the pack riled up. A bunch of shifters mad was a bad thing, add a human in the mix that was deemed a threat, and shit was bound to get dangerous.

Chapter Four
     
     
    V ictoria woke up the next morning tangled up in sheets. She’d spent half the night surfing the net trying to keep herself from having negative thoughts and scaring herself any further. After lying on her bed for a good fifteen minutes,Victoria forced herself to get up to take a shower, then whip up a quick breakfast, along with a cup of coffee. Since she didn’t have to be at the bank until ten, Victoria called around for places that might be available. If she wasn’t capable of finding somewhere else to move then it might mean she would have to move out of town. Victoria wanted to feel safe again because right now she wasn’t feeling so secure after it seemed as if she was being watched.
    There is no way I am going to be able to find a place. I could just go back home. Viviane’s been asking for me to come back.
    Her half-sister had been asking for months that Victoria come back to civilization in North Carolina. It wasn’t like Victoria was upset or broken hearted anymore by the betrayal from her ex and best friend. Collins had been a nice retreat while she mended her broken heart. North Carolina at this point seemed like her best option.  It was time to pack up and go back to the real world.
    Knocking at her door forced her to stuff the last piece of her toast in her mouth. She headed for the door.
    “Coming,” she said as she placed her glasses on her face.
    She opened the door an inch and poked her head out the door. Victoria assumed it was going to be no other than Kellie Wright standing at the door at seven in the morning. For a second she believed her eyes were playing tricks on her. An eyebrow quirked up as she noticed his hair was nicely
