to control all the
litters was an impossible task. They were divided. He’d mulled the
possibilities of killing Natasha. Getting her alone wouldn’t have been too
impossible a task. But even if she died, her ideas were like a virus, and the
infection already spread so that it stank with its greed and power-hungry
stench. Colony was no longer an honorable home. Their litter would return to
the rain forest. And yes, Angela would be part of their move.
    The front door opened and closed with a bang.
    “Colony has gone insane!” Rafe looked ready for a good
fight, and might have found one if he hadn’t been ordered home.
    “Communication with humans has already started,” Ran
announced as he headed to the refrigerator. Leave it to Ran to know the inside
happenings on matters. “There’s talk of a few jaguars leaving Colony to handle
some special projects we’ve supposedly arranged with the humans.”
    Rafe stood by Angela, who looked around their den, taking
everything in. He touched her shoulder and she glanced his way, remaining
relaxed and indifferent to his hand on her. “Ran, get our guest a beer,” Rafe
ordered.
    “Thank you.” She smiled at Rafe and sauntered through the
living room as if she’d done it a hundred times before. “Most won’t talk to
me,” she said when she offered Ran the same soft smile as she accepted the
beer. “I did learn the Hunter litter plans to leave Colony.”
    “What were you doing talking to the Hunter litter?” Raul
demanded.
    Angela finally acknowledged him, but not with the same charm
she bestowed on his littermates. Her expression sobered as she met his gaze.
That’s when he saw her hesitation and concern swimming in her suddenly troubled
expression. He didn’t hesitate in brushing his fingers through her long, thick
hair, the need to comfort and protect her hitting him harder than he’d ever
thought possible.
    “These are my kind too,” she whispered. “We aren’t like the lunewulfswith packs scattered all over this country and world. We are here and in
the rain forest. But now we’re breaking apart. I have a right to know where the
other jaguars plan to go.”
    Someone shouted outside and Raul pulled her against him even
as he looked over her head toward the windows. A fierce roar followed and
Angela jumped.
    “We’re going to fucking kill each other before anyone can go
anywhere,” Rafe snarled.
    Raul was at the door first, although Rafe and Ran quickly
approached from either side. The shouting escalated and as he stepped outside,
Raul fought the urge to insist everyone else stay inside. All he managed to do
was keep Angela by his side when she would have pushed her way around them and
run into the street. As it was, Rafe pranced ahead of them, almost dancing, as
if he couldn’t wait to take the first punch.
    “You can’t do this!” Maria Kalusian ran out of her home
across the road, her black hair looking more streaked with gray than usual.
“This will destroy our litter!”
    “Enough!” Miguel Kalusian ignored Raul, who approached
quietly, and instead turned his attention on his mate. Their oldest son Nik
glanced warily at Raul and his litter before turning his attention to his
parents when his sire continued speaking. “There are only so many ways to
explain this to you, Maria. I’m not destroying our litter but making it
stronger. You’ll thank me for this.”
    “I don’t thank corpses,” she spat, spinning around and
marching into their home. She slammed the door loud enough for the litters
surrounding them to easily hear.
    Raul noticed a few others stood outside now, watching with
curiosity and hesitation. No one would invade a private dispute in a litter,
but all would cautiously watch and wait for a fight.
    Miguel grew up with Raul’s father, and the older jaguar
turned back to his task of organizing items in the back of their SUV.
    “Take your litter home,” he ordered when Raul crossed the
street.
    “What are you doing?” Raul
