sake!” Briggs bit out as he uncrossed his arms and strode angrily toward her.

Chapter 4
    Kya’s heart thundered in her chest and she gasped as she backed into the door, holding up a hand defensively. The scent of her fear permeated the room.
    “Briggs!” Dell barked.
    Briggs stopped a few feet in front of her shaking his head as his expression softened, “I wasn’t going to…” His words were cut off, as the door was shoved open, sending Kya flying across the few feet between them and into Briggs’ arms.
    As Briggs caught Kya, he moaned in pain as he fell back with her, holding her to his chest to prevent her from being injured as they fell.
    Chloe flew through the door shouting, “Briggs! You’re scaring her!”
    Briggs growled deep in his chest, shutting his eyes as he rolled to the side and gently released Kya.
    She scrambled to her feet and backed away from a slowly recovering Briggs, “I-I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to…” She ended her sentence there, as she wasn’t quite sure what it was she had done.
    Dell, who had jumped up from his seat, reclaimed his original position as he motioned toward Chloe to close the door.
    Chloe shut the door then walked up to Kya, “You okay?”
    “Fine. What…what’s wrong with him?” Kya whispered eyeing Briggs who was struggling to his feet while dragging in a shaky breath.
    Chloe looked from Kya to Dell her eyes pleading with Dell as she grabbed Kya’s hand, “Come sit down, we need to talk.” Chloe led Kya to a small sofa that sat across from the desk and just opposite of the red leather chair she’d been offered earlier.
    Briggs growled as he got to his feet and stumbled to the red chair, falling into it as Dell laughed at him. “I’d ask if you’re alright, but I know the answer.” Dell smirked at Briggs.
    Chloe took a seat next to Kya and asked, “Kya, how many wolves are in your pack?”
    Kya pulled her hand from Chloe’s to respond defensively, “I don’t have a pack.”
    Chloe bit her lip before she continued, “Okay, how many wolves were in your old pack?”
    Kya shot a quick glance over to Dell before she looked down at her hands. “Seven. There were seven of them.”
    “And you were…?” Chloe prompted.
    “I-I…wasn’t one of them. But, they treated me as the Omega.” Kya simply stated, concentrating too hard on her fingers.
    “Were you…are you anyone’s mate?”
    A growl escaped Briggs, making Kya shrink uncomfortably, “No.”
    Chloe looked up at Briggs and smiled before she continued, “Are there any mates in your pack?”
    “No.”
    “Have you ever known any mates? Seen any before?”
    “No.” Kya’s hands stilled as she tried to decipher where Chloe was going with her interrogation.
    “Well what about your parents? Were you around them much, did you witness their mating bond?”
    Kya exhaled deeply, “I wasn’t always…I was…changed.”
    Chloe gasped as she looked at Dell in shock.
    Dell & Briggs both stood. Dell placed his hands evenly on the desk, his knuckles turning white under the pressure. “Kya, it is forbidden. No wolf on the continent is permitted to change a human. It’s our law.”
    Kya shook her head, “I guess someone forgot to tell the Colorado packs.”
    Dell gritted his teeth, “Do you know of others they’ve changed besides yourself?”
    Kya looked down, “It’s common practice…but they only change females.”
    Chloe grabbed a stray strand of Kya’s hair and tucked it behind her ear, “Why did you ask them to change you?”
    Kya turned to glare at Chloe, “I didn’t ask them to change me. I was attacked. They…forced me.”
    Brigg’s picked up the chair he’d been sitting in and threw it across the room. It shattered against the furthest wall sending splinters raining across the hardwood floor. He paced the room, in a rage, running his hand angrily through his hair.
    Chloe hugged Kya’s shoulders as the smaller woman trembled at Briggs’ display.
    Jesus!
    “It’s alright;
