no argument. It s generally only the youngest that do, though. Those
who don t realise how hard it is to find a new pack.
 So there are others?
 Some smaller ones in the area, yeah. None that I d want to be
involved with, though.
Conor nodded.  So what s your plan?
Ethan scratched the scar on his neck.  First I want to see what
Craig has to say. If I can end it without bloodshed, I will, but it s
unlikely at this point. It s really up to him. I ll try and talk him down,
but if he challenges me, I have to accept.
 Why?
He raised an eyebrow.  You mean apart from the fact that I m
pretty sure he s behind the attacks on Avani and me? It s a question of
honour. If he challenges me and I decline, I m showing myself as
weak. It might end things for the time being, but it would certainly
lead to other challenges in the future.
 And you can t just kick this Craig guy out of the pack?
 Not without evidence.
 But you re the leader! Conor shook his head.  I don t 
 I have to follow the same rules as every other member. If I start
making rules up, they won t respect me.

Conor shook his head again, but didn t push the matter. The
notion of defending honour made sense to him, as did the need for
evidence, but it pissed him off that it was happening to Ethan. The
man had feelings for him, and he more than shared them. And this
Craig guy could jeopardise everything, just for a little power.
* * * *
Like with the apartment, Ethan made Conor stop short of their
destination, then scouted ahead to the truck. No new scents were in
the air, and there were no fresh tracks, so Ethan headed back to
Conor, and they drove back to the truck together.
 Hell of a vehicle you got there, Conor said with a smirk as he
pulled the spares from his back seats.
 She s my girl, Ethan said, patting the side of the truck.  Had her
for decades, and she s never given me a problem.
 Until now.
 This was hardly her fault.
 True. Conor rolled two wheels toward Ethan, then grabbed the
others.  So you think Craig did this?
Ethan rolled the jack under the back of the truck and began
cinching the rear left side of the truck up. Thankfully it looked like
the damage was limited to just the tyres.
 Yup. The only recent scents are mine, Avani s and Craig s. Both
of them from run-ins in the bar car park.
 And you don t suspect Avani?
 I d trust her with my life. Besides, her leg was hurt. I doubt she d
have been able to run out here and back at the time.
The wheels went on without too much difficulty, and Ethan threw
the slashed ones in the back, then covered them with a tarp. The truck
started on the first time, as he expected, and he patted the dash gently
before jumping out. Conor was waiting by his car.
 So, all ready?
Pack Rules 103
 Pretty much.
 Sure you shouldn t take a weapon or something?
Ethan smirked. Humans.  No, no weapons. If I can t beat him
with teeth and claws, I don t deserve to win.
Conor crossed his arms.  And what if Craig is less honourable?
 He won t have a weapon. Now come here.
Conor stepped up to Ethan, and Ethan pulled him close and kissed
him on the lips, pausing to savour the taste of him.
 Remember what I said?
Conor nodded.  Go get Tommy, head to a friend s place, wait for
a call.
 That s right. Ethan kissed him again.  Then I ll come get you,
we ll go back to your place, and I ll fuck you till you re sore.
Conor laughed and punched Ethan on the arm.  So about five
minutes with that cock of yours.
Ethan smiled.  Everything will be fine, okay?
 Okay.
Ethan watched Conor climb back into his car and drive away
before jumping into his truck and turning her around. Everything felt
just fine, but he tested the brakes a few times before hitting the roads.
As he drove to the meeting place, he flipped on the radio for some
distraction. Some old rock band that he couldn t remember the name
of was playing. It d do. He was in no mood for a fight, so he needed
all the help he could get. Not that he d have any difficulty getting
angry once he saw Craig again.

Chapter Twelve
The mill hadn t seen this many people since the last time it was
open. Or the last pack meeting, anyway.
Ethan pulled his truck up to an empty spot right next to the front
door. Craig wasn t there to see his arrival, unfortunately, but his car
was nearby, along with the cars of every other pack member.
He climbed out of his truck and jumped to the ground and was
about to head inside when he spotted Avani s car pulling in the car
park. He waited for her to park and headed over. She got out and
closed her car door. She had a slim folder under her arm.
 How are you doing? he asked.
 I m good. Pretty much healed up. You?
Ethan held the collar of his shirt to one side so Avani could see.
 Fine. Good to go.
 I m glad. She tapped the folder under her arm.  Got what you
wanted. You were right, it seems.
Ethan grinned for the first time since Conor had left.  I don t
know if it ll help me knock this crap down before it escalates, but it
can t hurt.
 What can t hurt?
They both turned at the voice to find Craig stood behind them.
 A knife to the dick, since I ain t got one, Avani said with a
smirk.  How about you?
 Wouldn t you like to know.
Smarmy bastard. Ethan realised his fists were clenched, and he
forced himself to relax.  Craig. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
