“Ty, why… What’s going on?” Sasha asked, pulling away from him.

The chestnut brown haired male fastened his large golden eyes on me before looking at Sasha. “What the hell do you think is going on, Sprout? You bring werebears into the den. Are you kidding me right now?”

Sasha lifted her chin. “They are my guests and granted entry and permission by my invitation. As long as I am here, it’s fine.”

“Which might not be long with the stunt you’ve pulled,” Ty grumbled. He narrowed his eyes. “And he smells more like a guest. His scent is on you.”

A soft pink bloomed across Sasha’s dark cheeks. My brow raised. Was she blushing? I smirked. It was too damn adorable.

“Damon is my mate,” Sasha declared.

Though she seemed embarrassed, no shame shone in her eyes. My strong, sexy mate.

Ty’s eyes bulged, his brow shooting up into his hairline.

“The fuck?” He glanced between me and Sasha.

“Sasha, darling,” I told my mate. Ty’s eyes were in danger of rolling out his skull. “The alpha...”

Sasha tossed me a glance over her shoulder. “Right.” She turned back to her brother. “I’d love to stay and chat more, Ty, but we have urgent business to discuss with Alpha Ryan.”

“Sky said you mentioned something like that earlier,” Ty murmured, a vacant look in his eye.

Sasha and our group swept past, before Ty called, “Y-You mated a bear?”

“Yep,” Sasha announced over her shoulder. “And damn proud of it.”

A grin of pride creased my cheeks.

We arrived at Alpha Ryan’s office, but before we knocked, the door swung open. Ryan stood looming in the doorway, his gaze livid.

“You’ve gone too far this time, Sasha,” he growled. His claws sliced out. “Inviting bears into our home? I should’ve expected no better from a latent.”

My fangs punched out. “Watch what you say from this point on to my mate.”

Alpha Ryan’s glare snagged on mine. We stared at each other, the tension palpable. I’d take this bastard down, and by the look in his eye, he damn well knew it. Around us, warriors drew closer, as if sensing the volatile air between us as alphas.

“Alpha Ryan…” Sasha pushed her way in between us. I growled for her to move, but she shot me a scowl. “We didn’t come here to insult you or cause any trouble for the pack. Alpha Damon is my mate. Where I go, he goes.”

Alpha Ryan’s lips curled, but undeterred, Sasha continued on. “We’ve come here regarding the investigation.”

A spark of interest flared to life in Alpha Ryan’s dark gaze. “Then I presume you’ve uncovered who the culprit is, if it’s not the bears?”

Sasha nodded. She looked at me to continue and relay the information I gave her that morning.

I nodded. “The Dark Fae is responsible for the killings. One of my bears, Rick, was in league with a Dark Fae Lord by the name of Dargon Vensteel. Rick confessed to the plans during torture.”

“Of course, a bear would align himself with the Dark Fae,” Alpha Ryan muttered.

Sasha snarled a warning, but the alpha werewolf said nothing further. I recounted the information Rick had given me.

“Where is your proof?”

Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a vial of blood tainted with dark purple essence. “This is the blood of one of the rogues that attacked Sasha’s camp. My bears collected samples and tested them to see if they contained any essence of Dark Fae.” I tossed the vial at Alpha Ryan, to which he caught. “You’ll find it tests positive for Dark Fae manipulation. Now Rick’s allegiance tainted the rogues, giving them enhanced strength and speed. But Rick admitted they gave the tonic infused with fae power to Werekind at bars and clubs to induce them to kill humans.”

Alpha Ryan eyed the vial. Finally, he said, “I will send it to my labs to test for any otherworldly properties.” He fastened a grudging look at Sasha. “You are all free to stay within the den until the results come back. They should take an hour at most.”

Sasha and I nodded. Alpha Ryan strode off.
