“No, it’s not.”
He couldn’t help but think about Agatha. Is this what she had coming to her?
“What about Agatha?” he asked.
All the men turned to look at him. “We know she has wolf traits. What if this is what happens next?”
“She didn’t respond to my call,” Alpha said.
“So, some people don’t respond to your call.”
“Come on, Boyan, you know that’s rare and usually because their wolf is not mature.”
Boyan shook his head. He couldn’t handle the thought of Agatha being in pain. Of Agatha feeling anything like this. The very thought of her dying made his wolf crash against the wall of his skin as if in battle. No. There was no way they could allow their women to be hurt.
“Go and deal with Draco. He’s spent a lot of time with this human. I don’t like the effect it might have,” Alpha said.
Boyan needed to get away from the stench of blood. He felt the need to protect Agatha. It was strong, powerful stuff that flooded his veins. Stepping out of the cages, he made his way up to the surface and took a deep breath, scenting Draco had walked a few feet into the forest. He caught sight of him between the trees. His hands were shoved into his leather cut pockets, staring up at the beaming sun. It was hot today, another day closer to the full moon.
“How are you?”
Draco was not known for being talkative. Just a few moments ago, that was the most he’d spoken in a long time.
“It wasn’t your fault,” Boyan said.
“I tried to control the change. That wasn’t normal. That was fucked up.”
Boyan nodded in agreement. He’d only seen the consequences of what happened and he knew it had been messed up.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“I know there’s a human female in the town,” Draco said. “The one whose scent mingles with the rest.”
Boyan tensed up.
“I know why you didn’t tell me, but she’s in danger. If she is part of this … fuck up, we need to get her here.”
“Draco, she didn’t respond to Alpha’s call.”
“But her scent, I need to see her.”
Boyan rushed in front of Draco to stop him, holding up his hand. He’d never stopped a brother from doing anything. This was a first.
“I know you want to get your dick wet, but the safety of the pack must come first. The fact you have allowed this human free reign is already stupid. What if she’s like him?” Draco asked, nodding his head toward the cages. “She should be in there.”
“First of all, her scent mingles, of that I agree. We found her documents, okay. In the shit we kept from Milton, we saw it—she has a wolf father and a human mother.”
Draco shook his head.
“He didn’t have any files, Draco!”
“If she’s like him, then come the full moon, Boyan, she will die.”
He couldn’t help it. Just the very thought had him reacting. He slammed his palms against Draco’s body, throwing him back, until he hit a tree. Draco slumped to the ground, but not for long. Within seconds, he gracefully stood up, brushed off the leaves and dirt that had covered his body. His outburst brought Alpha, Enzo, and Rocco out from the cages.
“What is the meaning of this?” Alpha said, growling out each word, which seemed to vibrate throughout the forest.
“He is protecting the female,” Draco said. “She needs to be in that cage. She’s a threat to herself and to anyone she comes in contact with.”
“You’re not putting Agatha in a cage.”
Draco took a couple of steps toward him. “When the full moon hits, you’re going to be sorry.”
He expected Draco to fight him, but all he did was turn and head back to the cages. Enzo and Rocco did the same.
“Talk to me,” Alpha said.
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“I thought you were interested in this female as a way of getting her to leave,” he said.
Boyan didn’t say a word, just gritted his teeth and tried to keep his wolf under control.
“You know Draco will never allow anyone to bring suffering to the club,” he said.
“Agatha will not hurt the club. She doesn’t have a clue what she might or might not be. You couldn’t bring forth her wolf.”
“There’s something inside her, Boyan. Don’t be a fool.”
He hadn’t told them that his wolf responded to her. How protective he was of her. “Do you need me here?”
“No, we’ve got this covered.”
Boyan turned to walk away.
“If she shows any sign that she’s a threat to the club, this is where she’ll end up, Boyan. Don’t put your needs ahead of the club or the pack.”
All he could see was the blood, the dead flesh. It looked like it was out of a horror film rather than actual life. There was no way Agatha would end up like that.
