into werewolf witness protection.”
Anger simmered under my skin, and I fought the urge to throw Savannah
over my shoulder and drag her back to the Dens. She had no fucking clue
what kind of danger she was in. Not only because of the threat I’d received
from Kahanov, but also because her blood was special. I’d ferreted out the
traitors in our pack, but there were still rogue wolves running loose in
Wisconsin who might come after her for it.

“To keep you safe,” I snarled, eying her hand on my door. “Do I need to
remind you what happened the last time you were involved?”
Her eyes flashed—maybe a glint from the streetlamps—and she reared
back. “What happened? I stopped a killer and prevented an attack on my
