Charlie flipped him off.

Kade bristled, and Charlie could practically see the bear about to burst out of his skin, but he reined himself in, putting his face inches away from Buck’s.

“I would rather die fighting a hundred of you mutts than give you the girl,” he said. “If you want her, you go through me, and I will die before I let you hurt her again. Is that clear?”

Me?Charlie wondered, bewildered. Is he talking about me?

Buck shrugged. He was trying to look nonchalant, but Charlie could tell that Kade’s intensity had finally thrown the other man off.

“Have it your way,” he said, taking a step toward the door. “Just remember I tried to make it easy.”

Then he was gone in a flash, and Charlie could see a huge gray wolf running away from the cabin.

Daniel slammed the door shut and started pacing back and forth as Kade stood almost still, rubbing one hand over his head.

Charlie stood behind them, staring, wide-eyed. Her mind raced a hundred miles an hour.

Who’s Olivia?She wondered.

Then her stomach sank. Daniel said they didn’t have a mate, she thought. Is it because she went missing and they’re looking for her?

Charlie was much, much more disappointed than she thought she should be.

Finally, Kade looked over at her, then at Daniel, and then back at her.

“We should talk,” he said. “Let’s go in the kitchen.”

He turned and stomped out.
