“Hell no. There’s gotta be another place we can stay, I said.
Not only were there three very small babies with us but also three men who were in love with the same f ucking she-wolf. The place would explode into chaos in about two seconds
I’m not sharing a f u cking bedroom with these two.” Mason tossed his head toward us.
Lanie bit her lip an d looked nervously between all of us.
“There’s a couch and floor space,” Braden said. “How you split it up isn’t my problem.”
He started pulling luggage off the top of the car, including mine and Xander’s suitcases. A small spark of warmth bloomed in my chest imagining Lanie packing them for us.
“And there’s no other place you can go, so don’t ask again,” Braden said. “I had a witch cast a protective spell on the cabin and a small area of the land surrounding it. There’s an impenetrable dome around the whole
thing.”
“How do you know about this place?” Lanie asked, looking around with wonder.

I looked around, too, but couldn’t see any sign of a spell. How could we trust that it

“This is where I’ve been living while I’ve been spying on the Council’s little hybrid project,” Braden explained. “That way if they ever found out what I was doing, I’d have a place to hide out.”

He still hadn’t been especially clear on what “spying” meant. I had to assume he’d tell us everything we needed to know eventually, but it still seemed s tupid to trust him in the meantime.
Xander looked over at me. “You think he’s bul lshi tting us?”
I shrugged. “Hard to say. I can’t sniff out a lie on a vampire.”

Xander stepped forward, crossing his arms. “Who cast the spell around the house?”
“Rhiannon, actually,” Braden answered.

Lanie rolled her eyes, but a small smile tugged at her lips. “We were all work
she-wolves during the Great Wars. The testing they’re doing now on Innocent hybrids started all the way back
then.”
Wait a minute…so the Great Wars weren’t just a power struggle between factions of shifters. it was also about checking the Council’s power?
“That’s all a story for another day perhaps,” Braden said.
But Xander wasn’t ready to move on. “So in the wars..my mother was fighting for good?” he asked quietly.
Braden nodded. “She has been all along, even though your dad’s a royal a ss hole.”
Xander’s head dropped suddenly, and an emotion rolled off of him, so strong it was like a punch in the gut
for me, too.
Regret.
Gabriela was doing her best to protect the weak, and we’d chased her away.
