“Fine. But only cause your Guinness is the best pour around. But late addition tomorrow could still happen.”
She let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding.
“Thanks, Rocky, you’re a lifesaver,” she said as she hung up.

CHAPTER22
This was looking good. Very good, Dax thought, as he got out of bed and headed to the shower. He had spoken with Tim, the alpha over at Mossy Ridge, and he was sending him ten more shifters. He had agreed that this was a problem that could easily spread and concerned them all.
Tim himself was going to come with them. They were even going to pull in more help from a few other packs. They would blanket the town. Etta and her sisters were going to bring in their wider coven.

“Boss, you there? Over.”
“Yeah, man. Go. Over.”
“You’re not gonna like this.”
What now.

His wings beat furiouslyas he raced over the misted forests.Frustration. Anger. Rage.
The feelings pulsed through his dragon as he ducked and weaved through the early morning light.
And then in the next breath.
Protect. Cherish. Mate.
His dragon bellowed fire high into the sky in frustration as the Tribunal came into view. He crashed down behind the building and shifted, quickly going to his locker to dress.
In a few short minutes he was storming into the Tribunal bullpen.
Rollo and Jack both stood there, grim looks on their faces.
“Show me,” Dax commanded.
