Big Rift Between Her And Axel Ash

Why only Rosa and now her mate?" Thompson drummed his thumbs on the arms of the chair and then rose. 

"Plenty of safeguards will be in place, in other words, lots of security at the zoo, in the event you're planning on taking her and the pups out."

Alex rose from the couch, too, the look on his face as he studied Cassie one of admiration and a little longing.

Axel Ash pulled Cassie close again. She distinctly got the impression he wanted her to leave the situation well enough alone. But the more Cassie thought of the wolf in the zoo, the more she wanted to free her. 

Not here where there were no red wolves, but why couldn't she live in Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern North Carolina where other red wolves had been reintroduced and now lived in family packs?

She wasn't sure if Big Red could handle being out in the wilderness with a bunch of wild wolves, but she hated to leave him alone in the zoo.
