planning their strategy.” Jonah’s eyes narrowed. “It wasn’t long before others arrived with more humans. And that’s when I saw her.”
    “My mother?” Janna sat up straighter. Fear for her mother, even though she was dead, hit her so hard that she trembled. Garrett stepped closer to her, the heat from his body oddly comforting.
    Jonah’s eyes brightened slightly. “She fought with everything she had, even blindfolded and with her arms tied behind her back. While the other humans cried and begged for what—they didn’t even know—she cursed and fought.”
    “That doesn’t surprise me,” Janna replied with pride.
    “I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and at that moment, I knew she was mine.” Jonah’s tone became dominant as his eyes shifted to Garrett. “Even as Jasper Simone stepped up as the one who marked her, I knew she was mine.”
    “But she was human.” Marcus, who had sat quietly listening, spoke up. “When you say mine, do you mean mine in a wolf mating kind of way?”
    Janna glanced at Marcus. “What do you mean ‘wolf mating kind of way?’” Janna asked, even though she was anxious to hear the rest of what happened to her mother.
    “Wolves have one mate, and until they find that mate, they make no commitment to anyone else,” Marcus replied with that bit of information.
    “So you don’t have….” Janna stopped, realizing what she was about to say in a room full of men, but she was more than intrigued.
    “Sex?” Hunter laughed, making his face even more handsome. “Do I look like a virgin to you?”
    “Hunter, shut the hell up.” Marcus smacked him on the back of the head before looking at Jonah. “Do you think her mother was your mate, Jonah?”
    “She was my mate.” Jonah’s voice was final.
    “A human cannot be mated with our kind, especially an alpha. It’s forbidden,” Hunter replied, while scooting away from Marcus so not to get hit again, but didn’t realize he was closer to Garrett. “And what shifter in his right mind would want to be mated to a human anyway. If I had anything to say about it, we’d take them all out. All they do is make up rules that we have to follow, which is bullshit.”
    “You’re an idiot,” Janna hissed at Hunter just as Garrett smacked him on the back of the head.
    “Will you stop fucking hitting me.” Hunter stood, glaring at Garrett then Marcus, before his eyes zeroed in on Janna. “And I’m a realist, lady. Humans are bad news. Just look at Jonah over there. He was once one of the most powerful alpha males. Now he’s just a drunk who lost his pack because of not just a woman, but a human woman.”
    Before Janna could say anything, Garrett turned to Hunter. “Enough!” That warning was enough to shut him up. “Continue, Jonah.”
    Jonah was glaring at Hunter, but calmed himself enough to finish. “They gave them a head start. The humans began running in all directions, but my eyes stayed on Virginia. I followed at a distance until I knew we were far enough away my scent wouldn’t be picked up. After I calmed her down enough to trust me, I got her out of there.”
    “And?” Janna added when it looked as if Jonah was done.
    “And…nothing.” Jonah frowned. “We were on the run. Somehow Jasper found out it was me who took Virginia.”
    “So you left her to fend for herself?” Janna hissed, wanting to scream her frustration, but kept her cool.
    “No.” Jonah shook his head, his eyes not meeting hers. “It wasn’t about Virginia anymore.”
    “Obviously that’s wrong since she’s the one dead and you’re alive.” Janna stood, the words causing her so much pain she had to do something.
    “She’s dead because she loved me.” His eyes shot to hers. “I would have given my life for her.”
    Janna crossed her arms using her hands to pinch her skin just to keep herself under control. Her totally freaking out wouldn’t help matters any or help her understand. “So you just dropped her and took
