It wasn’t as if I’d been handed the pack like most of the daddy’s boys here would one day do once they inherited the packs they were born to. I’d fought for my pack, bled for it, and I expected every surviving member of McCaw to do the same now that I was in control. I thoroughly vetted each ranking member, stripping titles of wealth and handing them to the wolves who earned the privilege by the sweat of their backs. My team was efficient and deadly. I was proud of them, but I also had a duty to protect them. That was the reason I was here. And Aspen was a complication I didn’t see coming. She’s mine. My beast growled. I heard you the first time.
