doing well.
    I’ll become a skilled fighter.”
    “This is serious. I don’t think you have any idea what we’re getting ourselves into.” He motioned for her to follow him. “We’ll eat out here.”
    She sat across from him on the picnic table at the side of the cabin and took a sandwich.
    “Ethan, I know what I have to do. My life would mean nothing if I walked away and left my brother’s fate to Greggoire. You’ve taught me so much already. You have the weapons that will kill him. We can do this. I know we can.”
    “It takes more than silver bullets and silver-coated blades to kill a werewolf.” He bit into the bread, chewed, and swallowed. “Packmates you thought were your friends will come after you….me. It’s in our blood to protect the alpha.
    It pisses me off to think Greggoire is the pack’s leader. He’s a beta at best.” His mouth tightened.
    The pain etched in the set of his jaw and the narrowing of his eyes hurt her physically. His unspoken worries left her jittery and stressed, and she'd yet to figure out how she could help him be at peace. Something as soft as feathers brushed against her heart. This was her mate.
    Her other half.

    She pulled a paper napkin out of the sack, wiped her mouth, and decided the time was right to ask Ethan something she’d wondered about for years. “Why were you banned? You werethe alpha. Everything I’ve ever heard about you gave me the impression that you followed the rules. I don’t understand.”
    Ethan popped the rest of the sandwich between his lips and ran his forearm across his mouth. “I had no choice.” He stood up and peered off into the distance.
    “Tell me. Please.”
    He rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s an ugly story, little one.”
    Dani pulled her legs out from underneath the table, stood, and walked in front of Ethan.
    She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. “Please.”
    He ran his hand over her hair. Gentle and loving, he caressed her as if she were the most precious thing in his life. “Long ago, before you were even born, I was the alpha of the pack.” His hand stilled, but his heartbeat raced against her ear. She closed her eyes. Going from alpha to a lone wolf must have nearly killed him.
    “Even back then, the pack was divided.
    Greggoire’s family on one side, with my family, the Tolenes, on the other side. It’d always been that way. Bad blood between them went back generations despite us being distant relatives.
    Each male from the family fought over the alpha position. The Tolenes were always the winners, but Greggoire…” He sighed. “It came time for me to replace my father as alpha. Dad wanted to retire.”
    Dani nodded against Ethan. She’d seen many challenges. A young male would fight for the alpha position, just like her father had with Greggoire. The fight wasn’t supposed to last until death, but until the weaker male submitted to the alpha. She swallowed. Greggoire had not let her father submit, but had killed him outright.
    “Are you okay?” Ethan pulled back and gazed down at her face.
    She laid her head back down . “Yes. Go on.”
    “The day of the challenge, two she-wolves were murdered.” Ethan’s hands stiffened against her back. “Stabbed through the heart with a silver-plated knife and left where someone would walk up on them.”
    “That’s how my mom was killed.” Stepping back, she gripped her hair with angry fists. “Oh, God, Ethan. Greggoire’s been the one doing this to the pack the whole time. Why can’t the others see how evil he is?”
    “It gets worse, little one.” He leaned against the tree she’d used for target practice. “One of them was my sister, and the other woman was her friend. Greggoire spoke in front of the pack and gave them a story about how I had killed Sharon because I didn’t want Greggoire to become her life mate…he said I wanted her for myself. I supposedly killed my sister because she witnessed the murder.”

    She
