I lost my battle to keep from grinding my molars. It was going to be the longest couple of days, I was sure.
Chapter Eleven
Ibarely controlled my mirth at the Fey’s constant goading of my mate. Kellen wasn’t used to anyone teasing him. Well, I could get away with it, but only if we were naked, but then I would pay for it. Images of what he’d do to me had me squirming in the seat.
“That is one way to distract me from throttling the little thing in the back.”
I kept my eyes straight ahead, concentrating on fortifying the walls between me and all except Kellen. “I hope she can’t see what I was showing you.”
“I thought you liked being a little exhibitionist.” Kellen’s blue eyes looked my way.
A slight snore interrupted us. “The Fey are a mystery. Do you think she will share with us more about them?” I would love to know more, especially since I’d seen how the other woman healed Jared. Humans would have been able to survive from the injury, unless they were allergic to the silver, the way a shifter was. Jared did not know about his allergy and would have died. Stubborn male.
“Men don’t like to feel vulnerable. I’m sure Jared will be more aware now.” I pictured the little girl’s sweet face. “I hate the thought of them being all alone out there without a pack.”
My mate sent a smile that warmed my heart. “I have a feeling we will see them again.”
The gates of the club appeared. Rowan’s truck sat next to Syn’s and several others, along with a dozen motorcycles. “Well,I guess we shall see how she reacts to our motley crew.” I kept my fingers entwined with Kellen’s as he downshifted the gears.
Jennaveve sat up as if she’d not just been snoring. “Well, isn’t this a nice establishment. You sure do like that symbol.” Her head nodded at the claws on the side of the brick building.
“We are the Iron Wolves.” Kellen backed into his spot.
“Silver is your kryptonite, so it makes sense. You think whoever owns that truck will let me drive it?” She pointed at Syn’s black beast.
Kellen smirked. “You’ll have to talk to my sister.”
She made a noncommittal noise, but her large turquoise eyes stared out the window. “Your vehicles are remarkable.”
I looked at the details for each member’s car. The club wasn’t just an MC. They owned and operated one of the most sought-after custom detail businesses in the country, turning the ordinary into extraordinary. They were known for taking a common vehicle and customizing it with more bells and whistles than most people needed. I ran my hand over Kellen’s dashboard.
“I see,” Jennaveve said.
“Dang it. I didn’t block that, did I?” I looked over my shoulder.
The Fey shrugged. “I’ll show you how to do it without thinking. If I needed wheels like you, I’d totally hire you to fix me one. I’d want an orange one, though.”
Kellen raised his brows. “Why orange?”
She sighed. “It’s so bright. Like the sun. I’d want to have some splashes of red and yellow.” Jennaveve showed me and Kellen what she meant. The color was almost too bright.
“Yikes. I’d need sunglasses.” I rubbed my eyes.
Kellen shut off the vehicle and turned to face the back. “Alright. Let’s go into my office. I’ll call a meeting with mysecond and a few of my top men, along with their women. From the looks of it, they’re already here.”
Jennaveve didn’t wait for him to open her door before hopping down. “I believe she’s ready.” I pressed a quick kiss to Kellen’s lips. He grabbed the back of my head, turning the small gesture into something more.
“Alright, kiddos. Let’s not make babies with our mouths.”
Kellen pulled away, resting his forehead on mine. “Remind me I can’t throttle her.”
Laughing, I licked my lips. “I think she’s awesome.”
“You would.” He flung his door open, then came around to my side, lifting me down with ease. “Let’s roll.” His eyes scanned the area even though it was daylight.
At the club entrance, he opened the door and entered first, then held it open for Jennaveve and me. The action was one the Fey was clearly used to. All eyes turned to us as we entered. Kellen and I held hands, but I could tell that wasn’t what caused the hackles to rise on the wolves. Jennaveve walked with her back straight, meeting the eyes of every man and woman in the place. Even though they were in human form, all were wolves.
“Xan, Bodhi, Rowan. In my office. And bring your mates.” He looked at the room. “I want everyone to stick around. I’ll be calling a meeting of the pack to discuss the latest development.”
