looking any further.”
    “Who are you meeting, if you don’t mind my asking?”
    “I’m looking for the girl Matt hooked up with at the wedding about eight months ago. It took me a long time to locate her since she was doing some crazy cross-country sightseeing thing, but she seems to be staying at her home now.” Luke paused, unsure of who may be listening, before motioning Nate closer. “She just had Matt’s baby. I need to make sure they’re okay.”
    “Damn. She doesn’t know he was a shifter, does she?”
    “Not a clue. She delivered way too early for the baby to be human, so I need to find her and explain.”
    “I don’t envy you that job. I still can’t believe he’s gone. When you first walked in, I actually found myself looking for Matt to come in right behind you.”
    Luke wasn’t the only one feeling the absence of his best friend. Matt had been loved by many, including the Wolfe family. He’d mentioned that Barbara Wolfe was his great aunt, but admitted to not visiting as often as he’d like.
    Some of the Wolfe family had been at the wedding where Matt had met Ashe, so perhaps they could give him a good description of her, or maybe a general perception of her personality. Right now, all he knew was what little Matt had told him, and even less was found online.
    “Did you see him at the wedding when he came back on leave?” If Nate knew of her, then maybe he could score a little info during his meal.
    “Yeah, we spoke briefly, but the babies were getting real fussy, so we had to dip out early to get them to bed.” He shrugged. “Having one baby is hard, but three is exhausting, yet amazing. All I know is, it really does take a village to raise a child.”
    “I’ll bet. How’s Karla doing?”
    “She’s doing great. All the women help each other with the kids when my brothers and I are either working or attending to Pack business. Mom is in heaven with all the grandbabies.”
    Luke laughed. “I’ll have to be sure to say hi to them before I go. This is my only stop before going on to some little town called Honey Hollow.”
    “In Tennessee?”
    “That’s what the GPS is telling me. Someone’s supposed to be meeting me there, since I guess Adrian thinks I need back-up to deliver the news of Matt’s passing.”
    “Check with Barbara, or maybe some of the girls met her,” Nate suggested. “Was she family to the bride?”
    “No, she was one of the bartenders.”
    “I’ll bet I know which one, too. Long brown hair, curvy, great smile, and could flip bottles like a pro. Well, that and the other bartenders were guys,” Nate chuckled.
    “I suppose that would narrow it down.”
    “I’m pretty sure Barbara spoke to her some, but I don’t know what about. Listen, why don’t you give her a call and pick her brain while your food’s cooking? You want the bacon burger with the works, right?”
    “With extra bacon, please,” Luke replied, accepting the scrap of paper Nate had scribbled the number down on. “I guess I’ll kill two birds with one call. I wanted to get permission to let my wolf out for a run later.”
    “It shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve got a few orders to take, but I’ll be back with your food in a few.”
    In the time it took Luke to place his call, he managed to pick Barbara’s brain, gained permission to run, and wrapped up with a promise to consider Blue Creek’s scenting ceremony if he finished his mission with Ashe in time.
    Seeing as it was much closer than his old pack, Luke figured it couldn’t hurt to check out the available women. After all, he’d already concluded that none of the females from his home were his mate. Sure, he could settle, but it wasn’t his way. He wanted the real thing, or nothing at all.
    Once he’d eaten, Luke ventured to the location where he was told to park his SUV for his run. Stripping down, he stashed his clothes in the passenger seat before shifting and sprinting into the woods. Barbara and her mate, Tristan, had
