The rice wasn’t exactly instant, so they had to wait twenty minutes before it was ready. Morgan knew how to cook, but rice wasn’t his thing either. It was ready, but the texture was a little too soggy to have been done properly.

Still, he was starving, and it was the best damn rice he’d had in his

life.

Terry certainly made no complaints as he scarfed down what was on his plate. Morgan quickly scooped more for him to eat, occasionally reminding him to slow down, but otherwise, they had a good meal.

It had gone dark outside, but because of their fear of using too much power and somehow being found out by the owner, they searched out some candles and lit them for the night. Terry actually found a children’s board game for them to play with.

Something to do with catching mice in some strange elaborate trap with all sorts of pieces and parts. Morgan had no clue how a child was supposed to put the stupid thing together. The strange thing was how the three of them seemed to have the most fun just trying to figure out how to assemble it.

They tired themselves out after enough attempts and jokes at themselves, but it had been definitely more than an hour before they gave up and just sat down to talk.

Morgan and Nick kept the conversations light and on safe topics, both fully aware that the omega currently sitting in Morgan’s lap was still fighting to keep control of his inner wolf.

Even Nick’s extrasensitive senses would be able to tell him that

Terry had almost lost it a couple of times while Nick was downstairs.

He would have heard it.

When Terry fell asleep in Morgan’s lap, only then did they start getting serious.

Nick kept his voice down, lest he pull Terry out of the dream he’d just slipped into.

“I think those men were hunters, and they weren’t hunting for  Bambi.”

Morgan kept his grip on Terry light as Nick said those words, forcing himself not to clutch at the younger man protectively.

“We killed most of the hunters who got to Phillip’s pack. Could

the rest have regrouped by now?”

“If they have, then they’re determined motherfuckers.”

Motherfucker was the correct term to use as well, considering the  things those men had done to the wolves of Phillip’s pack, and the  poor man’s mate. Morgan had seen the corpse. It hadn’t been pretty.  The only good news was that by some act of God, they had decided to  spare Phillip’s pup. A baby boy only a few months old.

Currently, the pup was in James’s personal care. He and his mate  were keeping the child close to them for protection until the real  father returned. If he ever did.

“Terry was part of Phillip’s pack, so we can cross him off the list  of the missing.”

Nick’s sightless eyes widened. “I thought he was a wild omega.”

“He is, almost,” Morgan said. “I guess he saw some serious shit  happen before he managed to get away. I don’t think he figured out  that the hunters were scared off. Otherwise he might’ve come to  James’s pack sooner and turned himself over. He’s been taking care  of himself all this time, and that, coupled with what those hunters  might’ve done to him brought the wolf out to the forefront.”

Nick nodded. “Yeah. I guess that’s a natural reaction when we’re  trying to survive.”

“Because of that,” Morgan said, getting back to the point, “I don’t  want him knowing about Isaac, just yet.”

“Why not?” One of Nick’s brows lifted in an expression that  Morgan thought was annoying.

Isaac was probably the only hunter in existence to be made  welcome within a pack of werewolves. Probably because he’d mated  with one of the omegas, Tristan, and even took a silver bullet for the  guy after he’d helped the pack to bag a couple of hunters before they  could attack the pack.

He was pretty much welcomed with open arms by one and all  after that. Then the knowledge came that he was loaded, and as a gift  to his mate, he wanted to build a cabin just for the two of them to live

in, and put the money in to repair the cabins on James’s land that were  falling apart.

Werewolves weren’t like vampires. Their packs weren’t loaded to  their eyeballs with cash. A werewolf earned money wherever they  could, and though it was getting easier in today’s day and age, there  were still the nights were firewood was required because the heat had  to be shut off or when the alphas had to go out hunting for meat  because there wasn’t enough money to completely fill their fridges.

Though the alphas still hunted and the omegas still worked, both  sides of the pack also grabbing the odd job here and there to bring  some money in, ever since Isaac had showed up, things had definitely  been better.

Morgan once asked him why he kept spending his money on them. It wasn’t that he was ungrateful. He’d just been curious to know how a hunter could constantly spend the money, which he’d inherited after his family had been devoured by wild werewolves, on a pack of werewolves.

Isaac hadn’t looked him in the eyes when he’d explained that it was part of his atonement. Atonement for being a hunter and for all the things he’d done when he carried that title.

Morgan’s face had gone red, and he’d promptly walked away. Of course Isaac would have killed his fair share of werewolves. He had

been a hunter, after all, but Morgan believed that the man was on his

side, so he’d let it slide.

But now Morgan had Terry to think about. Isaac hadn’t been responsible in any way for what had happened at Phillip’s pack. Hell,  Isaac had been trying to help, but that might not matter to a fearful werewolf who was on the
