around anymore to watch the inmates fight for the limited resources. Not after the last three deliveries had ended in bloody massacres and an escape attempt.
    Thane’s hands tightened on his bag and he ground his teeth. “Neither.”
    “You know, there isn’t a wolf in Area S2 who hasn’t joined my Pack...except for you. A traitor to his own kind.”
    “There are reasons for this,” Thane replied. He noted the lift in Nolan’s left eyebrow. “And none of them are any of your business.”
    “Why do you care anymore?” His mouth turned up in a bitter grin. “If you think about it, everyone here has a death sentence,” he said, smugly. “Could be today. Could be tomorrow. Could be right now...”
    “And your point is?”
    Nolan’s mouth twisted in a grimace and his gaze traveled downward to stare at Thane’s nakedness. “And why are your fucking balls on display?”
    “No sense in tearing through perfectly good jeans.” Thane dug into his sack and pulled out his pants.
    The wolves growled behind him. Nolan lifted a finger and wagged it back and forth a few times, warning them to settle down.
    “Looks like you were in a hurry to get here, but you don’t plan on bartering and you refuse to kneel,” he said. “Everyone here knows that when you step foot on my territory...” Nolan waved both arms out from his sides “...you are required to follow my command.”
    “You’re not an Alpha. Only Alphas can command.”
    The statement seemed to strike a chord with Nolan because the veins on his neck bulged and his face darkened with anger.
    Unmoved, Thane’s gaze flitted over Nolan’s shoulder to the woman who was now being consoled by one of Nolan’s whores. Her scent was fucking with his rationale big time, but more than anything else, he had this instinctive urge to console her. To know her. He tore his gaze away and caught the look of annoyance on Nolan’s face.
    Nolan lifted a hand and motioned to the wolves surrounding Thane. Suddenly, he was boxed in. His claustrophobia kicked in at the same moment he went on high alert.
    “Restrain him—”
    Thane’s canines dropped instantly. “I would advise against you and your followers laying a hand on me.”
    Nolan stood rigidly in place and slightly cocked his head to one side. “Are you threatening me?”
    “Call it what you will, but I follow through on threats, as well.”
    “Rope him! Now!” It was the last command that Nolan spoke before all hell broke loose.
    Before the human behind him could apply the ropes, Thane spun around and side-kicked his would-be attacker in the shins. Thane heard the bone crack and then the wails as the man tumbled to the ground in pain.
    The wolves charged Thane. In less than three seconds, he’d shifted rapidly. His limbs burst through the pants and shed the fabric that restrained his wolf. When the first set of canines grazed his leg, he knew that the situation wouldn’t end well.
    With three on one, Thane was in no position to make any wrong moves. The attacking wolves were trying to pin him, and viciously aimed for his throat in the attack. He smelled blood already. His and that of the other three wolves. Not a lot of it had been shed yet, but Thane knew that he wanted to leave with his life and, more importantly, the woman. Therefore, he would have to immobilize his attackers, and that meant inflicting some damage.
    One of the wolves pawed Thane across the muzzle, his claws coming just centimeters from one of Thane’s eyeballs. Thane lunged, pinning his opponent to the ground and striking him back. A second wolf mauled Thane’s back, the wolf’s nails digging into the meaty flesh of his shoulders. Thane howled in pain. While caught off guard, he was thrown back nearly two feet. He pounced up the instant his body came into contact with the dusty ground and nailed the wolf that had clawed his back. His canines dug into the thick tendons of the wolf’s throat. He tasted fur and blood, but he didn’t let up. He
