Excerpt
Growling playfully, I dived underwater and tugged her into my arms. She met my playful passion with matching intensity, yet when we surfaced, uncertainty shone in her eyes.
“Mette worries me,” she confided.
“He’s strong, but I’m stronger. He lost a challenge to me once, and he won’t be stupid enough to try a second time.”
“That’s exactly what scares me. Mette isn’t stupid, and you shouldn’t have spared his life.” Tia slipped from my arms and waded toward shore. She stood, her sleek body glistening wetly in the moonlight.
Raising an eyebrow, I strode out of the lake to join her. “What about compassion?”
She glanced sharply at me over her shoulder. “At the very least, you shouldn’t have let him rejoin the pack after he challenged you.”
“Tia, you’ve spent more time among humans than I have. We both know their savagery knows no bounds, but they also understand mercy.”
