Lance’s POV “I’m smart. I can figure this out!” I tell the mirror. Unfortunately, the wolf looking back at me doesn’t look as if he’s all that confident in his abilities. Meanwhile my brother the brainiac has been holed up in the Beta suite during the last 36 hours since we got back from Silver Falls with Cassandra Armstrong, a.k.a. ‘Cassie’. His fated mate. And I’m going to run out of time to claim my own fated mate if we don’t get on the road to Willamette pack soon! It doesn’t escape my notice that Cassie is alpha blooded. Just one more indication that my younger brother is probably better suited to being the Alpha of Bull Run than I am. He’s taller than me, and smarter than me. He has a mate who would make a perfect Luna for this pack. And he knows as much about running
