Lifting the heavy bag he’d prepared for Rich, who went by ‘Doc’ to his fellow pack members, she tucked the flowers under her arm and opened a portal. She stepped through, whisking to the mostly wolf town of Wilde Creek. She’d been to Wilde Creek with Noah before, but her life was in Burrows Woods, where her fae glen resided.
A feminine scream rent the air and she spun in a circle, looking for the source of danger. She found a human female being shoved behind a dark-haired wolf male, with several other wolf males surrounding them.
“What the hell!” the dark-haired male shouted.
Kismet straightened from her defensive crouch and shook out her wings. Figuring that she’d frightened the whole lot of them when she appeared out of the portal, she smiled sweetly and said, “I’m Doc’s kind of sister-in-law, Kismet.”
Doc rushed out of the house, froze at the edge of the porch with his gaze pinging between the on-alert wolves and her, and then groaned.
“Why can’t you drive?”
“Duh, because I can transport.”
“Alpha, this is my sister-in-law, Kismet Thorburn. She’s fae.”
Kismet rolled her eyes. “I’m pretty sure they figured that out from the wings. No offense to the guards, but I’m not a danger to you or anyone else.”
A male and female appeared on the porch behind Doc. The female was a wolf, but the male was…wow.
“You’re a berserker?” she asked.
His brows rose so high they almost flew off his face. “How did you know?”
She tapped her temple. “I can sense what supernatural creature a person is. Plus, your aura is bright red, and that only happens with berserkers. What are you doing here?”
Doc said, “His mate is a patient.”
Kismet hummed in curiosity. She’d only ever met a berserker once. The old male had been a fearsome warrior, a protector of the fae throne who was unequaled in his loyalty or ferocity. When that king had stepped down for his son to take over, the warrior had followed him, having sworn to guard him until his last breath.
“I’ve got your stuff,” she said to Doc, closing the distance between them.
“You didn’t have to run this over. I could’ve gone to Noah’s.”
“Yeah, but I owed him one and he collected.”
Doc shook his head. “You two and your constant favors.”
Behind her, the wolf male said, “If you all don’t mind, my mate has an appointment.”
The female on the porch standing by the berserker made a soft sound, a whimper of pain that sounded as if someone had just poked a hot needle directly into her heart.
Kismet turned to face the male who had spoken.
“You’re the alpha, right?” she asked, folding her arms and spreading out her wings so the steps were blocked.
“Yes,” he said, a grimace setting in his handsome face. “I’m Acksel Moore. This is my alpha female, Brynn.”
“Why are you acting like the berserker needs to leave?”
“My name is Lucian,” the berserker said. “And I’m not welcome around the alpha’s family.”
Kismet cocked her head. “What?”
Acksel let out a growl. “This doesn’t concern you, stranger.”
“Oh, okay. Calm down, man. I just don’t know why you’d be acting like he’s dangerous. Unless you haven’t oathed him to you?”
“What are you talking about?” Brynn said, peeking around Acksel’s broad shoulder.
