KnightForce Deuces (34 page)

But Angus wanted the name of the contact in the
government, the names of those he offered to sell the drugs and who
already purchased or received the vile concoction. When he gathered
all the information, Angus broke Henry’s neck.

“He’s dead, he contacted someone in the
Pentagon, a contact from Ollie Brown
,” Angus said and then told
Silas what he gleaned from Henry’s memories.

“Not surprised they played both sides. They
recognized he was a problem and allowed us to clean up. This time I
appreciate the favor. Make sure you clean out the place and bring
it back to the lab. I want Hawke to go over that last formula, for
some reason it worked and we need to know why and how to counter
it
.”

“Will do, unless you want to send
someone in to clean up for my old ass…”

“Nah, you can do your own cleaning. The
plane’s waiting
,” Silas reminded him.

Standing, he went into the kitchen. He grabbed
a large plastic bag and emptied Henry’s makeshift lab. This time
Angus cleared out everything. Next, he rolled Henry’s body in the
braided rug and hefted the smaller man onto his shoulder and walked
out the door toward his vehicle. The SUV Alpha Chase loaned him
wasn’t too far down the road. After placing Henry and the bag
inside, Angus contacted Chase and gave him an update.

“Henry’s in the back, get rid of him for me
please,
” Angus said.

“My pleasure
.
Jasper’s waiting at the
airstrip. Your plane is ready to go whenever you arrive
,” Chase
said.

“Good, should be there within 20
minutes
.”

Chapter 30

Silas received word Angus returned and rolled
over, scooping his mate solidly in his embrace. Jasmine yawned and
then patted his hand.

“He’s back?”

“Yes, clearing security now. Chase burned down
the house.”

She stilled for a moment beneath his
hand.

He rubbed her shoulders. “No one was hurt. But
just in case Angus missed something, Chase wanted to be sure
everything was destroyed. We don’t want that drug, in any form,
resurfacing.”

“What about the shipment? I thought they were
looking for it, have they found it?” she asked.

“Some was sold but they got the bulk of it.
What did they do with it, I’m not sure. Plus those who use
it…”

“Won’t live long.” She turned to face him.
“That’s horrible.”

Silas smoothed her forehead and placed a kiss
on the middle. “Yes.”

“The poison?”

“Is under control, Hawke worked a miracle and
we’ll be able to detect and block the speed of it if we ever
encounter it again. We lost good people.”

“I know. Worse, it felt like a type of rape
since it happened in our home.”

Silas nodded. “It was too close. Jacques and
Hank are working to change how the water is filtered and supplies
delivered. We’ll fix it, Sweet Bitch. I promise to keep you and
everyone safe.” He pulled her closer. The feel of her steady
heartbeat synced with his. They lay together, quiet,
content.

“Who is Grandfather? Did the Goddess answer
your question?” Jasmine asked, her lips on his chest.

“No. Angus knows him and says the Black Wolf is
harmless and normally gives information that makes life better, not
worse. Plus, there’s no way to control him.”

Jasmine rubbed her cheek against him. “So what
do we do? Have David talk with us each time he hears from this…
ghost? Wolf? I don’t know how he approaches David.”

“We can ask but I don’t see that happening, do
you?” He met her concerned gaze and wished he could wipe away all
of her apprehension. But the Black Wolf was hundreds of years old
and chose who he spoke with. And David was one of his
chosen.

“No. David is too much like you. He’ll tell us
what he wants and not the rest.” She sighed and snuggled closer.
“They’ll be starting school soon, we’ll have to trust they’ll be
okay.”

“Of course they’ll be okay, plus they’ll be
using the underground tunnels to reach school. They’ll only be
exposed for a short time. Jarcee heads their security detail of
four, one for each pup. Stop worrying, they’ll be fine.”

Jasmine looked up at him. “I hadn’t thought of
all of that, thank you very much for a visual of security guards in
the halls while my babies are in the classroom.”

“Oh.” He grinned, embarrassed. “I thought
that’s what had you worried.”

“No. Never entered my mind until now. I was
still on David not sharing his experiences with the Grandfather
person or thing or whatever he is,” she said.

“Got it.”

Silas lapsed into silence and thought of the
security measures he and Jarcee mapped out for the pups while they
were in school. Initially, he planned to send their nurses with
them but his pups were so independent, he didn’t see the need. Plus
Jackie and Renee had been adamant that they were big girls and
didn’t need their nurses any longer. So he and Jasmine referred to
the women who watched their pups from birth, as Assistants. Women
who assisted Jasmine in the care of the pups.

“You’re excited about them going off to school,
aren’t you?” Jasmine asked in tone that lacked all signs of
happiness.

“Yes. We had a scare this week and I couldn’t
share or explain anything with my pups. I look forward to having
conversations with them about how we celebrate the lives of our
departed. And how we function as a Nation and what being in a pack
means.”

“You’ve taught them some of that
already.”

“Yeah but it’s different when you’re in a
classroom with other kids and you see how your world was formed.
How is it separate and yet a part.” He held her close and inhaled
her scent, allowing it to spread through him.

“Silas you have every right to be proud of the
school system, from everything I’ve seen and read, they are
superior to any schools on the planet. They will excel and have
those conversations you crave.”

“Yes, I look forward to that and watching their
progress in self-defense training.”

Jasmine didn’t speak.

Silas sighed. “I am aware you don’t agree
–”

“They should be trained but later, when they
are older, is all I’m saying,” she said, her voice raising at the
end.

“Pups are not like human children. Multiply
their chronological age by two and you’ll be closer to a human
age,” he said.

“Seems like the barometer keeps changing,” she
muttered.

Silas laughed. “Part of their acceleration is
because of my genes, no shame in that.”

“No, I suppose not.” She placed a kiss on his
chest and snuggled close again. “Little Ryan is a trooper. He’s
doing so much better, his eyes lit up when I held him
earlier.”

“You sound like a proud grandma.”

“A proud Nana,” she corrected.

“Right, Nana. I saw the boys after the
celebration and you’re right, they are strong and handsome.” He
paused. “Perhaps we should consider adding to our den?”

“No. The time isn’t right. Mom and Jacques are
having multiples, probably four or more. She’s going to need help,
plus Rose’s two. We’ll be busy.”

“
Good thing
our pups will be in school for a few hours,” he said and then
laughed when she rolled her eyes at him. “It’s true. With all the
infants, you’ll be busy while our den is empty for a few
hours.”

Jasmine sighed and then nodded. “It happened so
fast. Maybe we can do a quick vacation before they go to school. To
the island for a few days.”

“Sure, you would leave your mother and
Rose?”

Jasmine bit her lip. “Maybe after mom has the
baby, Renee’s coming to visit.”

“The KnightForce trainees will be here soon but
only for three days. After that I’m free. Just do not mention it to
the pups or anyone else until we are on the plane.”

“I agree.” She kissed him and laced her fingers
in his. “I’m in love with a wolf.”

Silas chuckled and held her tight. Tomorrow was
another day, filled with new challenges and opportunities. But
right now, he had this. He had her. And she was all he needed.
“Yes, you are.”

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to
read the second book in the La Patron’s KnightForce series. I love
paranormal books and characters in general and shifter stories in
particular. Throw in the romantic element, strong Alpha characters
who bend beneath the power of love and I’m over the moon.
Sighs…

KnightForce has become Silas’
fighting arm, enabled and authorized to mete out justice to enemies
of the Wolf Nation and extend a hand to any of the Alphas in need.
In each KnightForce book Silas deals with the challenges of running
a nation of 33 million, and climbing, wolves. While most are
content to follow the mandates set up by the Goddess, there are
always rebels and those who want to rule such a strong and mighty
nation.

You’re invited to journey with
me through all the books in this series. If you like fast paced
action, suspense and great love connections like me, you won’t be
disappointed. Feel free to drop me a line,
