“I come bearing coffee.” I smile as Darryl steps into my office carrying two steaming mugs of coffee, “I wasn’t sure what Eva drinks or if she was awake.”
“Still sleeping.” I take the red coffee cup from him and immediately bring it to my nose. “There is a reason you are top Alpha, you know exactly what we need.”
“Ah yes, my super power. Knowing when a fellow Alpha needs
coffee.” We both laugh as Darryl takes a seat across from me, “I heard you took Eva out for some fun last night.” I don’t know why but the way he says it has my back going ram-rod straight, I suddenly feel like I’m being lectured as an Alpha and not as a friend.
“Should I not have taken her off Pack land?” I start making a me ntal list to use as an argument as to why she needed taking off Pack land.
“Calm down, Cas.” Darryl smirks at me over the rim of his coffee cup, “it was a solid idea and from what I understand Eva took to it like a duck to water.” I don’t relax, I just put my coffee cup down and look at Darryl, no way he would bring up taking Eva out without there being something he wants to discuss.
“Out with it Darryl, I’ve known you long enough to know when you are biting your tongue.” Darryl does this half nod half smile thing that makes me think I predicted correctly.
“I agree Eva needed out of the Pack, she needed to see you in a neutral

hg. I hope it helped her see the Pack in a more favourable light but I strongly suggest keeping her on Pack land for now.” Darryl puts his coffee cup on the table before giving a big sigh, “the Elders don’t want you to know because they think Eva is involved. They believe Jeremy is just a small mouse in a big cage, someone is selling shifters. Mostly females and only one or two a year so no one has made the connection, that is until your mate’s human started kicking up the wrong rocks.” I growl as he refers to Jeremy as Eva’s human.
“He’s nothing to her, she’s mine.” Darryl’s eyebrow raises a little and I feel his Alpha Aura pulsing out, it’s only when I feel it pushing on my shoulders that I realise how close to the service Storm was. “Sorry.” I mutter, it’s been a long time since I lost control of Storm.
“Don’t be, your right to be protective of her.” I nod my head but I still feel shamed, Darryl is like a father figure to me so to try and pull rank on him is unacceptable.
“How do you know he’s selling shifters?” I’d love to know how they are controlling shifter females because I can’t imagine they are all like Eva and don’t have wolv
“Not him specifically, we think he might be a procurer. Some females have been showing up as sex workers or sla ves in different countries, all with the same story. A guy picks them up, takes them somewhere, they lose time and then they find themselves in a foreign country and doing what they need to, to survive.” Darryl licks his lips, a telltale sign of his that he’s unhappy with a situation.
“So you think if Eva leaves and Jeremy gets a hold of her, he’ll cut his losses and sell her on?” Darryl nods his head, “then she stays. I’ll make sure of it, for her own safety.”
“Good, I don’t want you losing your mate. It’s hard for an Alpha to lose their mate and you’ve suffered enough.” I give Darryl a small smile, if

anyone knows about losing a mate it’s the man sitting across from me. “I’ve given Rowan a run down of my suspicions about John, someone is getting the drugs to him. There is no way he’s still high off that first dose.” I suspected as much, I just hoped Darryl could provide a different insight.
“Guess I need to figure out who is dealing then,” I pinch the bridge of my nose, I knew being Alpha wasn’t going to be easy but I thought my biggest hurdle would be the Pack. “Are you leaving?”
“Yeah, got the car all Packed up. I need to get back to Grey Pack, I have some sh it of my own going down,” Darryl sighs before getting up from the chair, his slumped shoulders and his eyes are both telling me he’s not sleeping.
“Anything I can help with?” I want to return the favour but I don’t know where I’ll find the time.
“Not unless you know how to become mated before another Alpha challenges you.” My eyes widen as I realise the sh Darryl must be dealing with.
“You know Everfur and even Swiftmane will side beside you, we won’t allow you to be pushed out just because you don’t have a mate.” Darryl shakes his head as he walks to the door.
“This is my fight, I know I have a mate out there, I just haven’t met her yet.” Without another word Darryl nods his head at me and walks out of the office, closing the door behind him. Once I’m alone I sit and watch the closed floor for a few minutes before opening my laptop and pulling up my emails. Darryl might not want my help but he’s going to get it anyway, he helped Fraction with Anna and now he’s here
helping me with Eva. The man deserves a good woman at his side and I’ll be da mned if he loses his Pack while hunting for her. I might be

overwhelmed at the moment but I know a certain Alpha not too far from Darryl who owes Darryl a big debt.
‘And if Fraction won’t help?’ I shrug off Storm as I write the email out.
‘He’ll help. he won’t ignore this. He’s a good man who has a good Luna on his side, if he wont help she will.’ I smile as I think of Fraction’s Omega, Anna is a ray of sunshine in the dark, she can bring any man to his knees and beg for mercy. As if I don’t want to make a big deal of it I add a line to Anna at the end of the email explaining that Eva got her wolf and it turns out she’s Omega, you never know, she might be able to offer me some insight into how Pack-less Omega’s think.
‘Imagine my surprise when I turn around and see a tiny dark haired Omega sitting at my breakfast bar all by herself.’ I click send on the email just as Sally’s voice comes over the Pack link, it’s not often she uses the link, she calls it intrusive.
‘Eva is up there? She came up alone?’ I’m already rising from my chair, I didn’t even hear her leave the bedroom which shows how wrapped up in Darryl I was.
‘Drinking some hot water and lemon, looking like she’s been run over by a truck. Poor lass looked terrified but she got up here, all by herself.’ I smile as I walk from the office and lock the door behind me. I quickly run up the stairs, I don’t want Eva alone longer than she needs to be but I am happy she made it up here on her own. Hopefully that means she’s finally starting to feel comfortable around the Pack house.
“What is she doing here?” I roll my eyes as the first voice I hear is from my mother, I quickly walk from the lounge and round to the kitchen.
“Mother, nice of you to squeal so early in the morning.” Eva is sitting at the breakfast bar looking slightly paler than normal, she’s still

wearing my black t-shirt but she’s had the sense to put on some sleep shorts and slippers. “Morning Angel, sorry I had a meeting this morning or I would have stuck around.” My mothers eyes go wide as she assumes me and Eva spent the night together. I have no desire to correct her either.
“Darryl left, why didn’t she go with him?” I sigh as I walk over and kiss. Sally on the cheek, accepting the fresh cup of coffee she’s made me, black with two sugars, perfect.
“Eva is staying here, I told you this. If you don’t like it, feel free to leave.” Leaning against the counter I cross my arms over my chest and sip from my cup. Eva looks like she wants to bolt but I just wink at her.
“This is my house and I want breakfast.” I gesture to one of the chairs. with my coffee cup.
“As Alpha this is my house, anyone from the Pack is welcome to breakfast. Just take a seat and I’m sure Sally would be happy to get you what she’s cooked up this morning. “I look over at Sally and see her pulling some muf f ins from the oven. they look perfect as usual. “Blueberry?” I ask her and she just nods.
“It’s Eva’s favourite, she always gobbles down two or three.” Eva blushes as we all ignore my mother, I refuse to give her any more
attention.
“I heard she likes raspberries.” Eva sticks her tongue out at me as I just bark out a laugh. By the time Sally has put a mu ffin on a plate in front of Eva my mother has left the kitchen.
