there anything noteworthy happening today?”
    “Not in my neck of the woods, but rumor has it there is going to be some trouble over at the high school after school.”
    I was a little worried, “Nobody called the station.”
    “Nah, I heard a couple of pups from the McIntyre pack talking this morning. From what I heard there is a problem between the Pierce pride and the McIntyre pack. The kits and pups are going to have it out. I figured it might be something you and Bowie needed to know.”
    Damn Rock McIntyre! He wasn’t happy unless he had the entire area in an uproar. What he did on his own land was his business, but now he was bringing the shit to my town. I wasn’t going to tolerate it.
    I walked back to the station and informed Bowie of what was supposed to happen. He made a few phone calls to warn the principal. Bowie let him know that we would be on campus for the final bell.
    “You need to call Luna,” Bowie said.
    “No, I’m keeping her out of this mess. Her mom was over there earlier warning her to stay away from me. I’m guessing that all was happening while Rock was in here trying to prove he runs the show in this town.”
    Bowie shook his head, “The man needs to be taken down a few notches. I may give Dad a heads-up on what’s going on. Let him take care of it at the next Shifters’ Council Meeting.”
    Bowie locked himself in his office for the next couple of hours. It gave me time to call and set up a date with Luna.
    “Full Moon Sweets. This is Luna. How can I help you?”
    I smiled, “I could think of a million things you could help me with, but there’s one in particular that’s on my mind a lot.”
    Her husky chuckle flooded through the phone. “Really, only one? I could think of quite a few ways that I might service, I mean, be of service to you.”
    My heart leapt into my throat as blood rushed below my belt. “I don’t suppose you’d want to take a run with me Friday night, would you?”
    I could hear her breath catch. “Seriously? Gods, Adam, we haven’t done that in a very long time.”
    “I know and I’ve missed it. I thought it might be fun. I might be able to convince Mama G. to pack us a picnic to eat on the beach.”
    Luna sighed heavily, “That would be amazing. Friday night, it is. I’ll bring dessert.”
    I chuckled, “If you’re not careful, you might be dessert.”
    My darling girl was laughing as she hung up the phone.
    “Using tax payers’ dollars to make obscene phone calls to the local sweet shop? Geez, Adam,” Bowie said from the office doorway.
    “You want to go there, Bo? I’ve got more dirt on you than you could ever imagine,” I reminded him.

    At two-thirty, Bowie and I drove over to the high school. Lance Smythe was waiting for us when we arrived. Callum and Brady Golden were waiting as well. Colin Golden was back at the office in case anything else happened.
    “Remember, we’re only here to keep the peace. We had word there’s going to be a fight, but until we witness something, we’re just observers,” Bowie reminded us. “No guns are going to be needed so make sure yours, if you have them, are locked up in your vehicles.”
    The three deputies nodded in agreement. We’d been over this drill a lot since the town was destroyed. We wanted to be sure we could get the kids out of the school and safely home to their pack, pride, nest, or clan.
    The final bell rang from inside the school. Most of the kids came down the front steps and out to their cars with no problem. Brady caught the tussle happening before anyone else. There were four older wolf pups pushing a puma kit around. I don’t know what the hell they were feeding these pups, but, gods, they were big. Bowie stepped in before I could.
    “Is there a problem here, boys?” he asked as he pulled the puma kitten behind him.
    You could tell the pups were surprised to see us here. “Uh, no, sir,” one of them replied. The others just shook their heads.
    “Well, it seems
