folly of coming up against the SEB.”
    Ronan had to stop as the noise level rose again, with shouts of “Hell yeah!” “Just let ‘em fucking try!” And a cacophony of others filling the room. Raising his hands and lowering them, the noise abated. “I’ve been told they fight dirty, they are beings like us but they use things such as explosives and guns and not their own abilities to defeat people. I say, let them come, we’ll take them on no matter what the fuck they bring and we will rip them apart for even daring to think they can harm our people, our women, our children!”
    Sam laughed at her side. “He sure can get them riled up, can’t he?”
    She nodded, not having seen this side to her man before. Sam went on, having to bend and speak into her ear so she could hear him, “Now you see why he’s the boss. He’ll have every able bodied person available eating out of his hand by the time these meetings are over. Just wait and see, he’ll have them so irate they’ll be ready to rip these fuckers’ heads off.”
    Starr looked around, some of the Vamps eyes’ already glowing slightly red. A sure sign of their anger and she was sure that some of the Wolves present were having a hard time staying in their human form. Beejezus, Ronan had them fired up for battle.
    Matthew stood next to her, wide eyed and looking a little scared. For a Wolf, he was rather timid and she thought it was lucky he was in the tech side of things. He wouldn’t last a minute in a down ‘n dirty fight. She tapped him on the arm. “I think you can head out now. If we need any more information I’ll phone you and you can keep us up to date on what’s going on. Okay?”
    The Wolf nodded quickly. “Yes, fine, bye.” Then almost ran from the room in his haste to leave.
    “He’s a bit of an anomaly, isn’t he?” she remarked to Matthew’s receding back.
    Sam’s voice was a little sad as he answered. “Yeah, he’s an orphan. He was found out in a forest near Canada as a young kid, surviving on his own. We have no idea what happened, where he came from or anything. There were no Packs close by that he could’ve come from. He was brought here and fostered with one of the Wolf families but he’s always been more into books and learning than running with the Pack hunting.”
    Starr’s heart went out to Matthew, knowing what it was like to lose family. “Well, he’s damn good at what he does and is just as important as anyone else.”
    “He sure is,” Sam stated, “just wish he could believe that himself.”
    “Well, we’ll just have to try a bit harder to make him.”
    The noise level dropped, Ronan finishing off his rousing of the troops. Giving clear instructions on what was expected and advising Creed would be in charge of the Elites and Serge would be in charge of the other mission ready teams. In total they had manpower of almost fifty beings and that didn’t include the rest of the workforce.
    Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
    Ronan walked over, smiling. “One down, two to go. You can go back to your office now, Puff. I don’t want you standing around for hours.”
    Although Ronan whispered this, Sam heard. “What? Why? Starr are you okay? Is something wrong?”
    Starr punched Ronan’s arm. “Big mouth!”
    Sam looked between them, confused. “Will one of you tell me what’s going on? You may as well, ‘cause ya know I’ll just keep on and on and on and on….”
    “Okay! Jeez, Sam.” Starr smiled shyly and blushed, she could feel it working its way up her cheeks.
    “Shall I do the honors?” Ronan queried.
    “As it was you that opened your big mouth, I think that’s a good idea. But, and I’m being serious, I don’t want anyone else to know. Not yet.”
    Ronan pulled her into his arms, placing a kiss on the top of her head. “Sam, now don’t freak, don’t start shouting, and just take in what I’m going to tell you in a nice, calm manner.”
    Sam frowned. “Will you hurry up, I’m
