Chapter 222: Part 6

Ivan

How old was she anyway? Not old enough to mate and too damn young for me. If I got lucky, The Moor would kill her and the humans immediately.

My wolf growled and Mase gave me a nervous look. How the hell did I get myself into this mess? Kill a couple of cats, bring the females and child back, and ruin my life all over again. Goddess, I missed Alba. She had a way of combing through the shit and doing whatever needed to be done. My wolf whined again wanting to be closer to Talya.

It pissed me off that he could swap Alba out so easily. She was forever part of me and my wolf be damned. I would never take a cat as mate.

"We're thirty minutes away - tired and hungry."

"Cranky too," he chided.
