the female werewolf the eye. He frowned to himself, not liking the situation very much. Someone special to him, huh?

    He felt the moment when Liam intended to say something, but all of a sudden, the bitch shot forward and lunged at Liam, hugging him tight. When Liam hugged her back, a little switch snapped inside Shiloh, and he jumped on the two wolves, forcibly breaking them apart.
    “Hey, hands off,” he snarled at the she-wolf. “Get your own mate.”
    He didn’t know what he’d expected from her, but it certainly wasn’t what happened. She started to laugh, and a mix of fury and humiliation coursed through Shiloh.
    Before he could scratch her eyes out, Liam held him back and said, “Shiloh, this is my sister, Carlie. Carlie, this is my mate, Shiloh.”
    Shiloh’s face heated at the realization of what he’d done. “I’m going to kill you, Liam. Why didn’t you tell me you had a sister?”
    “I was going to. I just didn’t realize Soren would bring her along.”
    Shiloh couldn’t find an adequate reply and focused on fixing the poor impression he’d made on the werewolves. “I’m terribly sorry,”
    he said. “I didn’t know Liam had a sister.”
    He tried to hide his embarrassment and convey his utmost regret.
    Thankfully, Carlie just laughed. “That’s fine. Anyone who protects my brother like that is okay in my book. I think you and I are going to get along great.”
    She sounded so convinced of the fact that Shiloh found himself smiling. “I think you might be right.”
    Carlie took position next to him, and they looked toward the elder and Soren. “Well, you’re certainly not what I expected, Shiloh, I’ll give you that. I don’t have anything against you mating Liam.
    However, I’ll ask you exactly what I asked your lamb friend a while back. Do you have what it takes to give Liam a replacement for his pack? It won’t be easy, and even with my support, you and he will not be able to live with Soren.”

    Shiloh felt Brody tense up as the elder mentioned Carson. Shiloh spoke before the wolf could do something they would all regret. “I think we can build our pack in time, step by step. The most important thing is that we care about each other. As long as no one stands in our way, we’ll build our own path.”
    “From my part, you don’t have to worry,” the elder said.
    Strikingly, Shiloh realized the man was being honest. He and Liam might actually have a chance. “But what about your kin, Shiloh?
    Won’t they be angry at you mating a wolf?”
    Shiloh sighed. Truth be told, he’d tried not to think about that too much since deciding to attempt a relationship with Liam. His mother would most likely be hurt, his father shocked, and everyone else outraged. “They won’t be happy about it,” he answered, “but I’ve long ago severed ties with my roots. I don’t depend on them. They can’t do anything to stop us.”
    Or so he hoped, at least. Swans might be territorial, but they were unlikely to come after him and Liam for something like this. “Fair enough. Should you require assistance, you can always contact Soren.
    Liam, I still consider you one of us, even if circumstances force us to part ways.”
    “Thank you, Elder Wade,” Liam answered. “I appreciate all your help.”
    “No thanks are needed, my boy,” the elder answered. He then turned toward his son. “Now, Brody, could I have a word with you in private?”
    Brody seemed to struggle between agreeing with his father and denying the man’s request. “Very well,” he said at last. “I’ll be right back,” he told Liam and Shiloh.
    As Shiloh watched the wolf head to talk to his family, he couldn’t help an overwhelming feeling of relief. “We really can do this, can’t we?”
    Liam nodded and grinned at him. “Yeah, Shiloh. We can and we will.”
