Wolf Charmer (Team Greywolf 2)

“You don’t think Steele will mention our brief marriage, do you?”

“Of course not. He will do whatever it takes to protect you.”

“Cricket said only LIA members come here so likely she will never learn of my existence.”

“Unfortunately, Kiara is the new council elected overseer and she will pay us a visit soon.”

Gaby cringed. “What is an overseer?”

“An alpha of royal or high council status who monitors packs outside the king’s influence, such as mine. Many lycans believe the LIA focuses too much on human issues where we should only pay attention to pack matters.”

“Which means she might find out you are harboring not just Steele’s pet, but a wolf-segen.”

“Precisely.”

“I can leave.”

“Not necessary. Cricket offered her home when the princess makes her first visit.”

She nodded. “Lay low. I’ll stay inside.”

“You will leave in the morning before she arrives.”

“How dangerous is she?”

“Princess Kiara has her powerful father’s fierce army of werewolves at her beck and call. Three werewolf guards accompany her everywhere.”

Just like Steele’s dream about the alpha she-wolf commanding her pack to attack. “And when will Steele return?”

“He plans to spend some time with the king. They have family issues to sort out. During his stay, Steele will make a decision about returning to Team Greywolf or staying with the king to captain his guards.”

“And find an appropriate mate.” Gaby hadn’t meant to say it, but it slipped out.

“Knowing Steele, he will take a mate if it means protecting you.”

“Not the type of protection I need.”

“You must understand if anything happens to the king and Princess Margo, Prince Steele must take the throne.”

Gaby wasn’t about to argue with the top alpha female in charge of the pack. Only Steele could make the decision to abdicate for her. Not something he would do, even if he wasn’t allowed to keep a human pet. Time to change the subject. “Cricket thinks I would make an excellent agent.” If you can’t beat them join them. If she couldn’t have Steele, she would focus on settling the score by stopping Tomlin and Project Sabertooth.

Rylee’s smile broadened. “I agree. First, you need to confirm all intelligence about Project Sabertooth with our tech guy, Manny. Even information not found in your files.”

Gaby bit her lip. “Is it your intention to eliminate Project Sabertooth or get to the Keep?”

“There was a time we didn’t believe the Keep still existed. Now that we know, it’s one of our goals to destroy them. Unfortunately, they’ve gone dark again. Project Sabertooth, however, needs to be destroyed.”

“I can draw them out.”

“Actually, whether you want to take the risk or not, it’s still is up to Steele, since you are, for lack of a better term, his human.”

“Even if he decides to take a mate?”

“I’m afraid so. Lycan law.”

Rylee stood. “Cricket will get you in the morning. Be ready.”

I will not be controlled by other people’s whims. For now, I’ll follow orders, but without Steele in my life, not for long. “Yes, ma’am.”
