roared. Hot cum shot from the end of his cock, splattering over their hands and the arm of Theo s
coat.
The dam burst on Theo s orgasm, wrenching a strangled cry from his throat. Cum
pumped from the head of his erection, joining in the shower of white raining down their fists.
Silas rocked his head forward and claimed Theo s mouth. Hot and hard. Soft and sweet.
Silas kiss held everything he needed, but nothing he was allowed to keep. His heart stuttered
behind the protective shield that Silas had somehow managed to bypass.
This was goodbye.
Chapter Six
The taxi slowed and turned in to the drive, taking Silas up to the entrance of Ariel estates.
He studied the iron and copper forged letters that created an arch over the electronic gates. The
name had been in place for generations, Hebrew for  Lion of God. Ironic, considering the fact
one of his own had put a hit out on his head.
 Right here is fine, Silas called out to the driver. The car halted a few feet from the
security booth.
Silas pulled a credit card from his wallet, paid, then exited the vehicle, his sole bag in
hand. At the same moment, a guard emerged from the small building. He came forward on the
drive, a palm covering the handle of his pistol, then stopped.
 Can I help you, Sir?
 Hello, Matt. Silas moved closer.  It s been a while.
A huge toothy grin spread on his face.  Silas! He burst into an eager trot, closing the
distance between them.  Oh, my God, Sir. Everyone thought you were dead. The tall, wiry
guard shoved his palm into Silas .
Despite the continued up and down action of the enthusiastic male, Silas kept moving.
 I m not that easy to kill, Matt.
 No, Sir. I never wanted to believe you were gone. Not our Pride leader. You have so
much more left to accomplish for yourself and the Pride. He released his grip on Silas hand
long enough to dart into the guard s hut. A buzzer sounded and the gates parted.
Matt couldn t have said it better. A long deep breath escaped Silas lungs.
Time to find a murderer.
* * * *
Had it been two days or two centuries? Silas plopped onto the leather chair in his study
with a sigh. He missed Theo more than he d thought possible. Not that he hadn t been busy.
Since he d returned, his staff had thrown him some sort of welcome event each day.
On day one, there was a dinner party. Today, a breakfast celebration followed by parade
after parade of visitors stopping by to see for themselves that their leader had survived. There
had been no time to have the much needed lengthy discussion with the head of his security force,
Durran Malloy.
In fact, now that he d thought about it, the elder shifter had seemed somewhat aloof. Odd
since protocol required a debriefing on any event that may have affected the life of his leader.
Granted, the only time Silas had been alone for more than thirty minutes had been late at night in
his bed. Even there, though, he d had more than one offer to change that arrangement. But lying
in the arms of a shifter other than his wolf didn t feel& right.
His wolf. The corner of his lips turned up at the thought.
Yeah.
His.
In the future, he d have to make sure he returned to Alaska for a visit. See Theo s face
once more. Feel his body pressed against his.
 Silas?
He jerked at the sound of the familiar voice and glanced over his shoulder.
 Eli. Silas stood.  I ve been wondering when we d get a chance to talk.
 You seemed a million miles away just then. Eli stepped fully through the door and
released the handle.
Silas huffed and settled back into his seat.  No. He shook his head.  Not really. Only
about three thousand.
 Come. Sit, my friend. He indicated the matching chair to his left. Eli was the same age
as Silas and had been his best friend all through school. During those years, the shorter male
became the brother Silas had never had.
Eli was a handsome man with hints of salt in the dark brown hair at his temples. He d
been quite the ladies man. Still was. But for Silas, there had never been anything more than
feelings of close friendship for the shifter. He d enjoyed their connection over the years and had
appreciated a confidant during his fight to become Pride leader. Having someone he could trust
in his position& a priceless treasure.
Eli sat and crossed one leg over the other, the leather squeaking under the new burden.
 Christ, man. You certainly know how to keep things interesting.
 Yeah. Interesting is a mild word for what went down. I m so grateful you couldn t make
it for the hunt. It s been heartbreaking enough dealing with the tragic loss of the others. Losing
my best friend on top of it&  Silas shook his head.
 Speaking of tragic loss, I ve heard&  Eli narrowed his gaze as if he were choosing his
words carefully,  rumors that what happened up there may not have been an accident. People
have been speculating especially with the death threats you received prior to your trip.
 Well, this time, the rumors and speculations are correct. Silas studied the binding of the
book he d chosen from his collection but had yet to turn a page.  Though one would think
Durran would have been here first to ask these questions.
 Dear God, the other male breathed, his tone one of disbelief.  That s terrifying. And
yeah, that is odd he hasn t requested a conference with you yet. But I have to ask, how did you
survive?
 I guess fate was feeling a tad generous on my behalf that day. Theo s face appeared in
his mind. The shifter s blond hair shimmered in the bright sunlight like the day Silas had
awakened for the first time and found the male standing by his bed.
Silas blinked, washing away the image, then turned his head, giving Eli his attention.  A
rural doctor found me and took me in until my memory returned, and I was well enough to return
home.
 What? You had amnesia?
 Yes. He nodded.  Sure did. And it was a bitch. The only way I even knew my own
name was the driver s license in my wallet. It returned just two days ago. Then Theo took me to
the closest village, and I hopped the next plane home.
 Amazing. Eli smiled.  You have the damnedest luck.
 You have no idea. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
