Chapter 533

• The air was subdued as they arrived back at the Armand-Hanlon Pack. Rafe drove into the main compound first, his mate, Lacey, at his side, with Liam and Reasa in the back seat. As the trees parted to open up into a wide, circular enclosure, the Alpha had a split second to decide where he was going to stop.
• His large three-storey house was set a bit higher and off to the right of the compound, but he continued forward until he stopped at the two-storey dwelling that belonged to Nors and Ashleigh. It was Liam's home and from the way the redheaded Vârcolac was holding onto the woman in his arms, it was clear that he wasn't going to be willing to part from her. The man in Rafe could understand that because he would never allow anyone to come between him and his mate. For the Alpha -- he didn't need the additional headache.
• Rafe was concerned on so many different levels. He was bringing a woman into his pack who had come here with the intent to murder the Vârcolac. His wolf wanted her gone and the pack protected at all costs. Convincing him that she was no longer a physical threat was easy, it was convincing his wolf that she wasn't an emotional threat that was the problem, because she was on so many levels.
