yours.”
    Reece held his breath while he waited for Keeley to open his eyes so he could see their beautiful green color.
    “Reece,” Keeley whispered again. “Need Nate. Get Nate.”
    “Nate? Your friend Nate? The one that’s mated to a werewolf?”
    “Ye—es, need Nate. Can help.”
    “Okay, Keeley, I’ll get Nate,” Reece said softly as he brushed the soft, honey blond curls back from Keeley’s face. “Do you know who did this, Keeley? Did you see anyone?”
    “Bit—chh. Adr—”
    “Adrianna? Adrianna did this to you?” Reece asked in shock.
    Keeley slowly nodded his head. Reece saw him wince. He knew his baby was hurting and would be for a while. Humans didn’t heal as fast as shape shifters. Reece, seeing Keeley’s pain, quickly lifted his mate’s hand and held it against his cheek. “What, baby, what do you need to tell me?”
    “Love you, Qui—Quilliam. Won’t leave you,” Keeley whispered softly. “Just—just need to rest.”
    Reece could feel the tears in his eyes fall down his cheeks at Keeley’s softly spoken declaration. He turned his hand over to kiss the back then held it against his cheek again. “I know you do, baby. I love you, too. Close your eyes now and get some rest. You need to get your energy back. I want to play with that red feather boa again.”
    “‘Kay,” Keeley said, his eyes closing almost immediately.
    Reece watched him for a few more moments before laying his hand down gently on his chest. He pulled the blankets tighter around him, tucking him in before turning to look at Devlin, who was still on the phone.
    “Tell Chase and Donovan to find a man named Nate. They’ll know who he is. I want them to bring him with them when they come home.

isn’t that far away. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours for them to get here.”
    “And in the meantime?” Devlin asked.
    “In the meantime, I want the entire house locked down. And Douglas stays here. I don’t care if you have to tie him up and throw him in a broom closet. He’s part of this, and he is not leaving,” Reece growled.
    “What about Keeley? Shouldn’t we clean him up a bit and see if he has any other injuries or something?” Devlin asked in concern, looking over at the blood still covering Keeley.
    “We’re vulnerable right now, and will be until Chase and Donovan get here. After everything is all locked up and Douglas is taken care of I’ll take care of Keeley. No one, and I mean no one, is to get into this room without my say-so.”
    Reece left Devlin to finish his phone call to Chase while he went and locked up the house. He was just coming out of the kitchen when Douglas opened the door to the study and looked out.
    “Alpha Reece? Is everything okay?”
    “Yes, I was just going to finish cleaning up in the kitchen since Keeley fell asleep on the job. I’ll be just another moment and then Devlin and I will be in to join you. I think he stopped off to use the bathroom.”
    “Oh, okay,” Douglas said as he started to turn back towards the study. He paused, looking back over his shoulder. “You know, if Adrianna were here, you wouldn’t have to be doing woman’s work.”
    It was all Reece could do not to leap across the room and rip Douglas’s throat out at his comment, but he knew that right now, he needed to control his temper. It was more important to get information out of Douglas than to take his anger out on him.
    “I’m sure you’re right, Douglas, and maybe we can talk about that. Now, why don’t you go back into the study and have another drink while I finish up? Devlin should be down in just a moment to keep you company.”
    Reece clenched his teeth together as he watched Douglas nod his head and walk back into the study, shutting the door behind him. Oh, he so wanted to tear a piece out of that man. He knew his temper was holding on by just a thread.
    As a consolation, he promised himself a piece when this was all over. Until then, he was going to have
