of him. Pack law would deal with its own, by its own laws. The man would be dead before the next new moon. Bradley, his brother and also pack alpha, would see to it. But David would personally kill the man if he had hit Shade. She was like a sister to him, in need of protection, but too damned stubborn to take it.
    “ Do you think I would have let that bastard touch him if I’d of been there? You know me better than that. He would never have hurt him. I’d of killed the son of a bitch if I knew who had even so much as touched either of them,” she told him angrily with a fiery light in her green eyes, which were turning golden as she spoke. He could also feel the tangy bite of her magic now mixed with her anger. She was powerful, he thought. Her magic pure and white. “What the hell do you mean? They’ll take the word of a kid that he’s all right. Hasn’t anyone examined him yet?”
    “ They can’t without his mother’s permission. He’s a minor, Shade. You know how the system works.”
    David knew that she was aware of the law, probably knew them better than he did. He hated the red tape, but he also knew there were ways of getting around them. And he was planning on having his law take care of the man, any man, who would abuse a child.
    “ Fuck the system. You know as well as I do that the system isn’t working.” She looked around the room, seemingly embarrassed about her outburst.
    “ Regardless of what you and I think, they won’t touch him without consent. Now calm down before someone calls for Mark.”
    Mark Sales was one of the cops she hated, really hated. David knew this and had pretty much guessed the why. Mark was a number one, class A jerk. And he didn’t care a whit who thought so. Mark had told David once that he thought Shade’s anger at him was funny and that he liked making her pissed at him. David wasn’t afraid of Mark, quite the contrary, but Mark would not keep her out of the report and then she would be in the system again.
    He lowered his tone so that only she could hear him and told her that the man would be dealt with, and soon.
    “ Dealt with in a way that neither Brent nor Becca will ever have to be afraid of him again, I promise. Pack law reaches beyond civilian law.”
    David felt Shade float through his mind. She was gentle, but thorough . He was surprised by that; she had never done that to him before. He started to ask her, but then remembered the last time he had asked her what she was, thinking she was a witch or something. That argument had been so intense and had ended with her avoiding him for several weeks afterwards. He filed away this information for later consideration and continued on as though nothing had happened.
    “ They’re gonna keep them both here over night. I convinced a doctor friend of mine that they might look a little too cold, and Becca looked a little ill. And before you ask, yes, they will be kept together. So, you want me to drop you off at home?”
    David was angling for an address, anything in way of information he could get from her. She was very secretive about anything personal and he worried about her. A beautiful woman like her needed to be protected, and his wolf agreed with him.
    She, of course, declined, and left shortly after she had kissed both kids goodnight. She was gone maybe twenty minutes when he realized she hadn’t said who had hit her. Damned girl, she needed a keeper.

    Colin was not having a great night. He had been called away for Realm business. Aaron had asked him to go to Chicago of all places and pick up some paperwork from Aaron’s attorney. Aaron trusted only Colin with the information in the packet as it was personal, and since Sara was now pregnant, he wanted to stay as close to her as possible.
    Gee, didn’t see that one coming , he thought with a grin Sara pregnant. They went at it like bunnies, and Colin was sure that he had interrupted them a couple of times in the kitchen of all places.
    Sara was only
