I was sitting in the back of Finlay’s car. He and Martin sat up front. The tense energy rolled off of them in waves.

“Can we try to relax?” I asked. “I know this is a stressful meeting, but if we go in like this, we will add fuel to a fire.” Finlay

rolled his shoulders and tried to keep the car steady.

“You’re right,” Martin admitted and made a conscious effort to relax. “When we get there, I think it would make the most

sense if me and the Alpha flanked you, Amie,” he then said.

“Keep on dreaming. When have you ever seen an Alpha flank a member of their pack that isn’t their Luna? Standard

procedure is Alpha in the middle, you to the right and me to the left,” I objected.

“I don’t know, Amie,” Finlay started to say.

“Okay. I know what this is and while I find it sweet that the two of you think you need to protect me, you don’t. I’m here

as a member of the top tier of the pack. We can’t make it look like I’m weak. If nothing else, it will paint a target on my

back. I can hold my own, thank you very much,” I told them. They exchanged a look. “Don’t make me slap you in the

head.”

“Fine. We do it as it should be done,” Finlay agreed. I could see in the back view mirror he had the look on his face he

usually had when he knew he was making the right decision, but he hated it.

“Fine,” Martin said.

“Don’t we all feel a lot better now? How long until we are there?” I asked. Both of them shook their heads.

“Twenty minutes,” Finlay answered. I relaxed back. The tension was still there, but it had eased a bit. We had decided on a

neutral meeting place roughly at the halfway point between the packs. As neither one of us wanted the other pack to

know our exact location, it had been a best guess. They arrived at the meeting place. It was a rest stop in the middle of

nowhere. A few picnic tables stood half buried in snow in the middle of a clearing next to the road. Finlay parked in the

large parking area that was deserted this time of year. The cold did not affect werewolves as it did humans. We could sit

in the snow and have the meeting. Finlay didn’t have time to turn the car off before another car came from the opposite

direction and parked on the other side of the parking lot. Everyone exited their car at the same time. Martin and I flanked
