Dougy’s POV I can smell rogue wolves nearby. And the timing could not possibly be any worse! I’m undecided about what I should do. Pick up little Douglas and try to slink out of here, hoping that they don’t notice us? Shift into Mac and run back to the farm house with Douglas on my back? Stand and fight? I don’t even know how many rogues I’m potentially dealing with here. If it’s just one or two, then that’s not really much of a threat. They likely wont engage with the Lycan king even if they don’t exactly feel subject to my rule. But a larger group could decide to question my authority in a big way if they see me out and about with only Declan to watch my back and a young half human pup to protect. Why was I so stupid as to come out here with Douglas and so little protection?
