Paz.
    “We’re not going to use you as bait.”
    “I’m just saying it’s an option if we can’t catch him. I’m more than capable of
    handling myself.” Her head cocked slightly to the side and something passed between
    her and Thomas. It wasn’t a look of lust, or desire but something else. Adam couldn’t
    place his finger on it, but he didn’t like it.
    “Well, I can’t make you leave,” Thomas muttered.
    Technically he could. Something everyone in the room knew, Adam included.
    Adam wondered why Thomas wasn’t pushing the issue but let it slide. It seemed he

    now had more to investigate. Unfortunately, all he was interested in was finishing that
    kiss with Paz.
    Stephan walked back into the room. “Paz, will you please talk some sense into your
    stubborn sister?” he growled before sitting back at the table.

    Wordlessly, she nodded and left. Finding Marisol wasn’t difficult. She was outside
    on the back patio, alone and practically spitting fire. As Paz opened the sliding glass
    door, her sister stopped mid-pace and glared at her. “You’re insane if you think I’m
    leaving you.”
    “Will you please sit down and listen, little hermana ?”
    Marisol pushed out a long breath and lost most of her steam as she collapsed onto
    one of the lounge chairs. “I don’t want to leave.”
    Paz sat next to her. “It doesn’t matter what you want. Your mate can’t think straight
    if you’re in constant danger. If his head isn’t on right, then that puts you and his
    brothers in danger.”
    “Then why don’t you want to come with me?”
    “It’s not that I don’t want to. I’m not going to run away from anyone ever again and
    I want him to pay for what he did to me, Shea, you , our entire freaking pack and all
    those other packs he betrayed.”
    “But what if something happens to you?” The desperation in her sister’s voice
    pulled at her heartstrings.
    She stayed firm. “It won’t.”
    “What if you kill him using your powers and Adam finds out what you are?”
    That was something she’d already thought of, but there wasn’t anything she could
    do about the possibility now. “You can ‘what if’ yourself to death, Marisol. Preston
    Morales needs to be stopped. If he isn’t, the death toll is going to keep rising in Miami,
    and our existence—your mate’s existence—will be threatened.”

    “I don’t understand why you won’t come with me.”
    Paz had her own demons to face and she’d be damned if she ran away when she
    knew she had the ability to stop a monster like Morales. Thanks to her heritage she was
    more capable of killing Morales than any of the werewolves in the house, Adam
    included. They might not all realize the extent of her gifts, but her sister certainly did.
    The drugs she’d lived with for a year were completely out of her system and while she
    hadn’t tested her powers yet, she planned a little test run tonight once everyone had
    gone to sleep. “You know why I’m staying, Marisol. I can help. Besides, you just
    bonded with your mate. You deserve some alone time.”
    “I don’t give a shit about that. I don’t want to leave you again.”
    “One week. That’s all I’m asking for. It’s not long.” She scooted closer down the
    seat and wrapped her arm around Marisol’s shoulders then used her most sickly sweet
    voice she knew would annoy her sister. “Please? Don’t make me beg, little hermana .”
    She rolled her eyes. “Ugh. If you stop, I’ll say yes.”
    Chuckling, she dropped her arm and nudged her sister with her elbow. “By
    tomorrow morning you’ll be thanking me for letting your mate whisk you away.”
    “We’ll see.” Then Marisol’s eyes narrowed. “What on earth were you doing outside
    with Adam Tucker, the enforcer ?”
    Paz could feel her cheeks flush. “Ah, I’d rather not talk about it.”
    “Seriously, of all people, why him?”
    Paz shrugged. “I like him. He’s not a pig and
