Showed up? Shit. Man was truly young. Meant he was only around twenty-one years old. Most wolves did not make their first appearance until they were twenty-one or twenty-two. Most were trained for the day from birth. Why wasn’t he? Questions I’d have to ask him later. More important question, first.

“What is your name?” Gray asked the youngster again.

“Oh, right.” He held his hand out. “I’m Jacob.”

Gray shook the man’s hand. “How involved have you been in the crimes taking place around you?”

Jacob’s sighed and hung his head down. “Harry’s the one who’s been doing the breaking in and the murdering. He’s . . . I’ve . . . Not been my idea. I’ve not had a choice.”

My wolf whimpered and ran his snout up Jacob’s side. Travis glanced my way, then asked the most important question.

“Do you know where he is?”

“What is going to happen to him?”

“He has to pay for his crimes.” Sal replied.

“I knew that, but what does that mean.”

None of my brothers spoke, but they all knew what would take place. There was no way around it. Murder of human had taken place. Lycans could not be confined inside a human jail. It would caused destruction and lead to discovery of our kind. That is why each Alpha polices his on area.

“Is he your father?” Flame came up to Jacob’s side, earning himself a small growl. If he had not been trying to comfort Jacob he might have gotten a hand bitten off when he put his arm around my Heart’s Desires shoulder.

“No, but he took me in off the streets.”

Off the streets? Damn. Jacob had suffered greatly. How long had he lived there? Childhood? After he left foster care? Many teenagers ended up there after they aged out of foster care. It was a shame, but the truth. Sucked that a Lycan had ended up in the childcare system to begin with. How had that happened? Most Lycan parents leaves a will that ensures their children go to the Alpha or another Lycan family member, blood or not.

Gray looked at the door, letting everyone know it was time to go. Not sure what he heard, but his senses would be stronger than Cals at the time. Cal’s would be intuned with Jacob’s, right where they should be. Least until the two of them had more time to learn each of. Until a Heart’s Desire was attached completely to their other half, the two of them would be on edge and their wolf side would be a bit unstable.

“Where is Harry?” Gray asked.

“He went to the store.”

“How long ago?”

“About thirty minutes ago?”

“Time for us to go.”

“I can’t go with you guys.”

“You have no choice, unless you want your fate to be tied to his. As of now . . .” Gray sighed. “you have committed no crime against a human, but if you stay . . . I’m sure that will changed. Harry will not let you remain without getting your hands dirty. I’m sure of that.”

“He’s been . . . He took me in when no one . . . he has not harmed me in any way. Not even tried to . . . so many others have . . .”

Cal nudged his Heart’s Desire on the hip, giving him a push towards the door. He would not stand for his other half to remain behind.

“Jacob,” Flame’s soft, tender tone drew everyone in, like it always did. The man had a skill at sucking people in to doing what he wanted with just his voice. “I’m sure he has been good to you, but what he is doing is wrong and you know it, or you would not have left the note for Alpha Cal. You also know that there is something special between your two. If you remain behind you will be forcing him to do something that will tear him into and end his life as he knows it now. Is that what you want?”

Jacob shook his head.

“Then you have to come with us. Harry is coming towards the house as we speak. We have to leave. All of us.”

Jacob looked down, making Cal’s heart drop to his feet. Heartbreak lurked behind his eyes, but comprehension warred with it. Before Cal knew a tall, ratty, matted haired wolf stood in front of him. My Heart’s Desire required feeding up. Both in human form and wolf form. Something fixable. First get him away from Harry. Then get him some nutritious food. Then take care of Harry.
