“It doesn’t,” I agree. “So why? More importantly, how? And why her? Why now?”

There are too many questions, and I can’t answer them. My head throbs, but that doesn’t stop it from firing through a million different scenarios.

Cox shakes his head, and I know what I need to do.

I need to see Lexie.

Lexie is a witch from a few towns over. She’ll know what kind of fucked-up magic this is. It has to be magic…right?

“Lexie will know.”

Cox frowns again, voicing my thoughts. “You think it’s magic?”

I gaze at him. “What else, Cox? They’re not rogues. They’re boys from town. Men who grew up here. How can they shift into fucking wolves without being known to us?”

It doesn’t make any sense.How indeed.

Wolves grow up in packs. They are part of something bigger—they don’t attend school in town or have jobs there unless it’s something the pack instructs them to do. Every wolf for miles around is part of our pack—so how would these three knuckleheads suddenly change into wolves without us knowing them?

I fuckinghatethe unknown, and right now, everything is unfamiliar.

“Unless…” Cox begins thoughtfully, leaning forward in his chair. “What if their mothers were human and unknowingly bred with a wolf?”

I choke on my laughter. “Unknowingly? We fuck a little differently than your average human male, Cox, in case you’ve forgotten.”

Cox shrugs. “It’s possible though, right?”

I stare past him out the window, trying to draw calm from the evening air and moonlight that shimmers on the lake. But it doesn’t work; I’m too fucking angry. It’s not unheard of, humans mating with wolves. But having their pups without them knowing is. My wolf is on edge because he wants to be with Blair, and I’m not even thinking about the mating bond right now.

Well, I wish I weren’t.

The goddamn beast won’t let me forget about it.

My body heats at the thought of her, and I growl again, earning a confused look from Cox.

“It’s possible that one of the elder wolves fucked them over twenty years ago, yes,” I snap. “But why would they do that? To breed? They would want their pups to be part of the pack, and you know it. If the human got pregnant, the wolves would know about it.”

It’s true—wolves don’t leave their pups. We’re loyal as fuck.

“Maybe they just wanted to fuck,” Cox remarks with a smirk. “It’s hardly surprising.”

“I don’t think so,” I respond, dragging my hand over my face. “I want someone watching Blair twenty-four-seven.”

Cox stares at me blankly before flinching at my reaction.

“Are you fucking deaf?” I lean forward, my eyes wide. Cox doesn’t deserve my rage, but there’s no one else here. And he’s testing me, the silly bastard. He knows better than anyone not to rile me, the prick.

“No, but why would some random human need protecting by us, Alpha?”

Random human?!

I have the urge to grab him by the throat and demand he retract his statement about my mate—fuck off, wolf—Blair,and address her properly.

What, as Luna?My wolf laughs, and I drop my head into my hands, my cheeks burning with rage.

Fucking hell.

My wolf is already thinking of her as Luna. If I didn’t feel doomed before, I sure as hell do now.
