Evie’s father?!

Both Badru and I stared at each other, in a complete loss for words.

‘This could be a trap,’ Aasim stood rigid and alert. ‘How the hell did he find her? If he even is her father.’

‘I don’t know, but until we figure this out, we deal with this ourselves.’

The last thing we needed was our own father overreacting to a rogue at our borders and attacking him.

‘The guy, how’s he acting? Do you need backup?’ Badru reached out to Damian.

‘He’s huge, but he’s been very peaceful so far,’ he seemed to hesitate a moment longer, second-guessing whether to air his opinion or not. ‘I don’t think he’s lying about being Evie’s father. There are way too many similarities, and not just physical… you’ll see when you get here.’

‘Just keep him there and if you need backup, say the word,’ and with that, I dropped the link.

“This feels all kinds of suspicious,” my brother huffed the obvious as we broke out into a full-on sprint.

“Tell me about it. Even if this guy is telling the truth, where the f**k has he been?” I panted, swallowing hard. “What if he’s the one Evie’s mother was running from?”

“If he is, he’s about to meet our fists,” Badru snarled, holding back a branch for me.

We closed in on the southeastern border within 20 minutes, our blood thick with adrenaline at the prospect of the imminent confrontation. The Yakama reservation borders weren’t too far from our location; had he wandered through their territory? We really needed to press Elan’s wiccan Family Elder to allow our pack to patrol their borders more in the future.

Badru caught the scent on the air at the same time as I did, the smell of mountainous air and not from the landscape of our pack. It was laced with a strong musky edge, stronger than what I had ever smelt on a wolf. Evie, too, had a slightly stronger edge to her scent now that she had fully shifted. Her spiced vanilla aroma caused a huge struggle within me and my wolf to contain ourselves. This musky mountain scent had to be the rogue claiming to be her father.

The three figures became apparent against the snow-splattered clearing, dotted by evergreens and firs. Damian, I recognised instantly and it was a struggle to repress the low growl, rumbling at the back of my throat. If Evie could move on from her issues with him, then so could I and Badru… with some concentrated effort. The second figure must have been his patrol partner.

The final figure couldn’t be missed from a mile away.

He was huge.

He stood with his back to us where we approached downwards from a rocky incline, vaulting over a craggy edge to land on the lower forest level. Long dark blond hair trailed down his back and when he turned, I was floored. His eyes were like looking into those of Evie’s, an identical swirl of stormy grey and dark blue. The features were uncanny, even hidden under a thick dark blond beard. He was a much more masculine version of Evie.

‘There is no way, on this planet, is that guy not her father,’ my wolf uttered, stunned.

My eyes wandered to the jagged deep-red scar that ran from just under his left cheek, cutting through his beard where no hair grew and down his neck, disappearing under the collar of a threadbare sweater and scruffy coat.

The cause of the scar was clear, silver. Nothing else could leave such a mark. Only, this was worse than any silver scar I had seen. It was as though the skin had melted on contact, leaving a heavily puckered and irregular line, somewhat hidden by his beard.

The man caught my trailing eyes and turned his head to hide it, a brief look of embarrassment seeping into his expression. For some reason, that look triggered a wave of guilt rippling through me and, I could sense, through Badru too.

“Alphas,” Damian dipped his head in respect and his patrol companion bared his neck.

‘Head off on your route as normal, but keep this to yourself for now,’ my twin instructed.

‘We’re only on a volunteer shift, so we can hang back if you need us to, just in case,’ Damian offered.
