into werewolf witness protection.”
 
 Anger simmered under my skin, and I fought the urge to throw Savannah
 
 over my shoulder and drag her back to the Dens. She had no fucking clue
 
 what kind of danger she was in. Not only because of the threat I’d received
 
 from Kahanov, but also because her blood was special. I’d ferreted out the
 
 traitors in our pack, but there were still rogue wolves running loose in
 
 Wisconsin who might come after her for it.
 
 “I’m trying to protect you, and I can’t do that when you’re holed up in the
 
 Indies. Be reasonable,” I growled, heat creeping over my neck. The LaSalles
 
 had refused us access to the south side of the island, so my surveillance teams

 ??I’ll let you know when we
 
 bring him down.”
 
 She shoved my door closed and pinned it shut with her hand. “So what,
 
 you’re just leaving me in the dark? Out of the investigation? That’s bullshit.”
 
 My gaze dropped to her neck, her pulse thrumming like a hammer in my
 
 skull. What I wouldn’t give to drag my teeth across her sweaty skin. Give her
 
 a reminder of exactly who she was dealing with.
 
 “To keep you safe,” I snarled, eying her hand on my door. “Do I need to
 
 remind you what happened the last time you were involved?”
 
 Her eyes flashed—maybe a glint from the streetlamps—and she reared
 
 back. “What happened? I stopped a killer and prevented an attack on my
