or announced to every Alpha in the meeting that they were breeds with a human mother. I had kept that information quiet for a reason. It’s called security,” he said in a deadly quiet voice, his eyes glowed like chips of emeralds .
    Jasmine flinched as the heat of his anger filled the room. That’s when she recognized his clenched jaw and balled fists. One moment her sons stood on each side of her, the next they were thrown back, slammed against the wall and then pinned on the floor, struggling to move.
    “Stop.” She turned to go to them.
    “Every step you take in their direction, it’ll be worse for them. They are men, Jasmine, not boys, and they will take their punishment. Stop babying them,” Silas snapped.
    “I’m not…” She froze.
    A scream of pain ripped from Tyrone as his wolf lay panting on the floor. Tyrese grunted as he flashed through the change.
    Stunned, she stared at the creatures who were her sons. In this form they looked identical, except for their eyes. Tyrese’s eyes were an eerie light brown and Tyrone’s were a deep dark brown, almost black. As the silence wore on, each met her eyes with something akin to shame.
    “Rone?” The large dark brown wolf blinked as he stared at her. “You’re beautiful. I love you no matter what, remember that.”
    She gazed at Tyrese. From this position, he looked larger than Rone and his breathing appeared labored. “Rese, you are beautiful and I love you no matter what form you’re in. I’m proud of you both.”
    Howls rose in the room from her sons and then stopped abruptly.
    “What do you plan to do?” Her breath caught. Her legs were frozen in place as she searched his face. She took a step toward Silas, her hand outstretched. Right now she’d get down on one knee and beg if that would keep her sons from feeling more pain.
    Silas glanced at her. “No abortion.”
    She nodded. “Okay, you have my word. No abortion. Release them. Please, they’re in pain.”
    “You pack and move to my compound in West Virginia by the end of the week. I don’t want to argue with you anymore about this. I want you and the pups…babies safe. I don’t need to be distracted with you trying to out-maneuver me.”
    She glanced over her shoulder at the two large wolves panting on the floor and nodded.
    “No, Jasmine. Say the words. Give me your word that you will move into my compound and stay until the children no longer need you.”
    “What? When did you add that part about not needing me? That could be when they’re grown. I’m not staying with you until then.”
    “How long then?” He crossed his arms and looked over her head toward the twins.
    “I don’t know. I can’t think about that right now.”
    “Five years? Ten years? Fifteen? I need a point of reference,” he said as though she hadn’t spoken.
    “What? Five. No that’s before elementary school. Ten. No. That’s right before junior high.” She sighed. “I don’t know, Silas. I’ll stay with them until they finish high school.”
    She met his stare until he nodded. “Release them. I gave you what you wanted, now release them.”
    “Do you understand what just happened?”
    Jasmine shook her head, certain she’d missed something. “What are you talking about?”
    “A few minutes ago, do you realize what happened?” he asked again.
    Her brow furrowed as she tried to understand. “We came to an agreement about the babies?” She rubbed her flat stomach as she glanced over her shoulder to the twins. They were still panting, but she couldn’t be sure they weren’t in pain. Hang on boys, I’ll get you out of this .
    Silas released a long sigh that grabbed her attention. “You just made a deal to protect your children. For you, a human, they’re your pack.”
    She stiffened at the implication and not liking the direction of the conversation. “Not pack, family.”
    “Same difference.” He shrugged. “The point is, we make sacrifices for the betterment of the pack. You don’t
