He huffed at me, but didn’t shake his head in a no.
I slipped out of the car, opening the door for Kai. In hindsight, I sort of regretted not taking the man’s truck. Lucas probably would’ve been more comfortable if he was getting in his dad’s typical truck instead of my little car.
It was too late, though.
Kai trotted over to his son, and I strode over to the snobbiest-looking parent. The couples were all clustered together, chatting.
It was no wonder their kids got along so well; they probably did shit together outside of pack gatherings or whatever. And Kai probably refused to go to most of it, because he’d be the odd man out.
“So which of you is the asshole who not only stole a ball from my mate’s kid, but handed it toyourkid instead?” I asked, putting a hand on my hip.
All of them looked at me.
And none of them said a damn thing.
“What, do you not speak vampire?” I drawled to them.
One of the women blinked really quickly.
I leaned over the table, getting closer to them.
Two of the guys leaned away.
One of the women growled.
I flashed her a glimpse of my fangs, and she paled. “The fact that none of you have trained your kids to include every single one of their packmates is, frankly, kind of disgusting. A pack is supposed to be a family. When I grew up, the only good thing we ever heard about werewolves was that they watched out for each other. That they took care of each other. How disappointing to learn that’s not true.”
Guilty expressions flashed across two of the women’s faces.
“The least you could do was not steal the kid’s toy from him. I hope you feel like monsters.”
Spinning around, I stormed up to my waiting wolves. Lucas backed away from me a little, but I wasn’t offended. Lots of people hated me. The little guy wasn’t one of them; he just didn’t know me.
Maybe he never would, either. Only time would tell, I supposed.
Lucas hopped into the passenger seat with Kai, and the larger wolf tucked the little guy up against his chest, protecting him. I wasn’t entirely comfortable driving while the furry little friend wasn’t buckled in his car seat, but didn’t think I was in a position to ask him to shift back, either.
So… I didn’t.
I just drove back to my townhouse—Kai’s townhouse—and parked in the garage.
None of us moved to get out after we’d stopped.
I sagged against the seat I occupied as a wave of exhaustion washed over me.
Damn, I was tired.
Maybe the blood was going to wear off quicker than I thought.
I glanced over at the wolves in the passenger seat.
Yeah… I was going to have to take them back to Lucas’s real home. The poor little thing looked scared. Or sad. Or both.
I’d left Kai’s phone in the bathroom, since I knew where the park was without needing a map. But I didn’t know where his pack lived, so I turned my head as I looked at both of them.
“I’m going to find your phone so I can get the location for your pack’s land,” I told Kai.
He bobbed his head, and when I slipped out of the car, remained where he was.
