Man to Man [Wolf Creek Pack 3] (Siren Publishing Classic ManLove) by Stormy Glenn Page A

asked.
    Donovan knew that Chase had met his mates when he helped rescue the men the Teacher was holding prisoner, and he was having a hard time dealing with it. As he looked at he brother, he noticed that Chase seemed a little paler than usual.
    And he was really somber. His shoulders were slightly slumped, and he had his hands shoved into his pockets. Chase was always joking around and laughing. Being somber wasn’t normal for him.
    “I’m sure.” Chase gave Donovan a weak smile. “My mind wouldn’t be in it anyway. I’d just be a danger to you all.”
    “If you’re sure.”
    “I am.”
    “Okay, but if you need something, even if it’s just to talk, call me. I’ll keep my cell phone on me.” Donovan really didn’t like leaving his brother when he was obviously going through something, but his other brother was in trouble as well, and Devlin’s trouble seemed more urgent.
    “Donny, I’m fine.” Chase stepped over and patted Donovan on the back. “Just go and save our brother’s butt. I’ll be here when you get back.”
    Just as Donovan opened his mouth to ask his brother if he was sure, yet again, Joe and Nate came down the stairs with an overnight bag in each of their hands. Jeez, they sounded like a herd of buffalo.
    “Okay,” Nate said as he came to a stop in front of Donovan, “we’re ready.”
    Donovan cast one more look at Chase and then turned toward the door. “If we leave now, we can be there by dark.”
    “Nate and I are going to follow you in my truck,” Joe said. “We might need more than one vehicle.”
    That was a good plan, and Donovan told Joe as much as they all headed out the door toward the vehicles. They parted company in the driveway, Joe and Nate in one truck and Donovan and Jim in the other.
    It took three tries for Donovan to get the keys in the ignition. He realized that his hands were trembling. He growled as he jammed the keys in and turned the engine over.
    “Donovan.”
    Donovan glanced up when Jim’s hand landed on his thigh.
    “Do you need me to drive?”
    Donovan smirked despite the severity of the situation. “You don’t know where you’re going.” He put the truck in gear and then pulled out of the driveway. He could see Joe and Nate right behind him. “I’ll be fine, Jim. I’m just worried.”
    “I know.” Jim squeezed Donovan’s thigh. “You know I’m here for you, right?”
    “Yeah, babe.” Donovan smiled over at Jim. “I do know that.”
    Jim waved his hands toward the front windshield. “So, let’s go already. Time’s a-wastin’.”

    Donovan was relieved when he finally pulled up in front of the large lodge that was home to his alpha. It had only been a few weeks since he had been here, but he did miss the place, or maybe it was the people inside the lodge he missed.
    “Donovan, are you ready to go in?”
    “Huh?” Donovan glanced away from the front of the lodge to look at his mate. He could see Joe and Nate standing just beyond Jim’s passenger-side window, waiting. “Yeah, I’m ready.”
    Donovan climbed out of the truck and walked around the front to join Jim and his friends. He grabbed Jim’s hand for support and walked up to the house. The door started to open before they even reached it.
    “Reece,” Donovan said when he saw his alpha pull the door open the rest of the way. He had been friends with Reece long before the man became his alpha, and he respected him a lot. Knowing that Reece was in trouble enough to call him home didn’t sit well with him.
    He held out his hand when Reece did, shaking the other man’s.
    “Sorry I had to call you home, man.”
    “It’s not a problem, Reece. You’re my alpha. I expect you to call me home if you need me.”
    “I still appreciate it.” Reece grimaced and glanced toward the study. “We’re in a shit storm of trouble, Donovan. And to be truthful, I’m not quite sure how we’re going to get out of it.”
    “Anything you need me to do, just ask,”
