5: Hood - Pack Trust Page 9

  We already had guarded gates and high profile security, and a more visible force would have really alerted the general public. So, suggesting anything like that was out of the picture. I had to ask, “If Wolf was attacked, does that follow that we will be, too? I mean, should we get in the tunnel--”

  Hood kissed me hard. With a steely glint, he said, “Giselle, I would fuck you right now if I had time. Get the word out. All the unnaturals need to go below. You, too. Only lupus born aboveground.”

  I panicked. “Me?”

  “Wolf won’t understand about you.” He meant Mark Wolf, alpha and owner of Wolf Enterprises. Hood kissed me again. “But we’ll make him understand.” At the door, he turned, looked me in the eye and said, “He’ll love you, too, once he gets to know you.”

  That’s as close as Hood has ever gotten to saying it.

  Before he disappeared, he added, “I hope I don’t have to kill him to keep him away from you.”

  The door slammed behind him. I knew already that Hood was on his way to give orders, to lock down Lobos completely, to prepare for a possible siege, and an internal war. Like we hadn’t already been through our own.

  I closed my eyes, sent up a prayer and whispered, “Oh, God. The pack is coming.”
