“Don’t you think it’s a bit suspect that one of them came here and decided to set up a library full of texts that the pack didn’t care about? But she insisted on building one of the finest collections about Colorado shifter history in existence. Even laments the fact the pack doesn’t seem to appreciate her efforts. Then, Wendy, who has been a nuisance to our pack in all lifetimes, finds the Hudaknocker, and hands it over to Bibi, who insists, even though she only has recent ties to our pack, that she’ll keep it safe. But her idea of safety seems to be about as superficial as her appearance.”
“Don’t talk about Bibi like that.” I growled.
“Mmm, no surprise there. You don’t think it’s odd that after all those years of none of the beasts in the mountains paying the least bit of attention to you, Bibi comes calling? The drag queen, the master of makeovers, that everyone seems to trust implicitly?”
“She’s a good wolf.”
“She no queen,”he scoffed.“Marissa knew that something was wrong, even if she didn’t understand why—”
“How long have you been hanging around?” I rose from my chair, making him back up. I wouldn’t be sorry to see him go right over the edge. But not before he filled in some blanks for me.
“Since the Hudaknocker was discovered, as I—”
“By who?”
For once, the wolf was silent.
“Who left the Hudaknocker at that build site?”
“I did.”
Okay, we were getting somewhere, even if we were taking the most frustrating path possible. And it meant he hadn’t resurfaced at the beginning of my episode, as we suspected. “Where did you get it?”
“From your queen’s mate.”
Queen…he meant Bibi. I furrowed my brow, instantly thinking of Hugo as her mate. He would never betray her. He was so shamelessly in love with her, even if she had just started to actually return the sentiment.
Oh.
“Calista?”
His shoulder rose, and if he were in his human form, he would have shrugged.“She’s a sassy little wolf who’s ready to claim what’s hers.”
“Where is she?”
“Don’t know.”
Lie. I stepped forward. “I silenced my brother, and I’ll have no problem getting information out of you. It’s the only reason I’m letting you live right now.”
He swallowed hard.“She gave us the idol. Didn’t say where she got it. She wanted to make sure it was in good hands.”
“Bullshit. She traded it to get closer to Bibi. Now tell me where she is, or I’ll make sure Bibi gets the information out of you. I’ll remind you, since you were too much of a chickenshit to see it with your own eyes, that she made it possible for me to defeat Leif. She’ll make a fur coat out of you.”
“She did want to get closer to Bibi. But when saw that she’d taken another mate, she left in a rage. Last time I saw her.”

“How are you feeling?” Bibi asked as she sat at the nail station beside me. We were having an epic, much needed girl date day at the chalet spa. Marissa and Tina were with us, too.
“I’m so excited about my date tonight.” I’d decided to get my nails shaped pointy. That shape made me nervous, but I was thinking about running them over Lars’s tail. There were many legends about Bigfoot and sasquatch, but most of them had been told by those hunter dudes that had invaded Sunset Springs. They made them sound fierce and scary and that was pretty hot, but they had no idea how Lars’s tail could expand inside me when he was aroused. Last time we were together and he was in his natural form, I wasn’t prepared. Now, I was ready to play.
“What are you most excited about, especially now that Lars is back in his natural form?”
“The date I have planned tonight will be perfect.” I’d thought about changing it, but after some talk withThe Mating Gamecrew, we decided to keep everything as-is. “And I’m also excited for when we shut the cameras off and…” I waggled my brows. “Let’s just say I missed his tail.”
“The forum regulars will be thrilled to hear tail updates.” Bibi waved her free hand playfully. “Did you know that ‘Lars’s tail’ is the most searched for term on the entire site?”
