A Wolf's Mate (14 page)

“Does
that mean I can go running with you?”

“If
that’s what you
want,
but you won’t catch
up.”

“You
just wait and see.”

“So
does this mean you’re joining our pack? You want to be a wolf’s mate.”

“Not
just any wolf’s mate, but Nick Pearson’s mate.”

Prologue

“This
doesn’t seem right,” said the bear shifter in the front row.

Liam
raised his hands. “We can’t trust Aiden Renner
anymore
.
It’s time there was a new leader. The shifters with human wives are a liability
to us.”

“But
they’re our friends. Lilly Renner cleans our home. She’s the sweetest young
woman,” said a wolf shifter standing at the back of the room.

“Then
why did you come here today? No one forced you
to,
but
I’m guessing
you too know things
haven’t been right for a while now. We’ve come this far,” said Liam.

“So
you want to take over as leader, is that it?” said the bear shifter.

“I’m
not saying that but I think Aiden needs to relinquish his role and we put it to
a vote, but I think no man or woman for that case that’s involved with a human
should be allowed to run,” continued Liam.

“And
how are you going to convince him of that?” asked another wolf shifter.

“He’s
going to be a father any day now. I think that
child
can be our bargaining commodity.”

“Shit
Liam, what do you have planned? In fact, I don’t even want to hear it…as far as
I’m concerned you’re on your own with this crazy idea.”

He
left, as did a handful of other people at the meeting.

Liam
shook his head. Didn’t these idiots realize that humans would be their
downfall? A war among the shifters was coming and so be it.
