Wolf Creek Ghosts (Texas Pack 3) (Wolf Creek Werewolf Shifters) by Jo Ellen Page A

have available to track Willie down. Baby,” Melanie reached for Ian’s hand, “we’ve already had this argument. You know Olivia needs help with the portal.”
    They still argued back and forth, until finally, Rafe gave a sharp whistle, gaining their attention.
    “Lisa and Melanie will go to the bar, but won’t be going through the portal, like we said.” The ladies nodded in agreement. “Melanie, I’d like for you to open the doorway. You’ll help from this side, same for you Lisa. You can link with Olivia before she goes in. Me, Ian and Devlin will go through with Olivia.” Rafe stared at Lisa. “I’ll inform you via our mental link if we have a problem.” He moved on to Melanie. “Close the door after we pass through, you’ll keep in touch via your link with Ian. He’ll tell you when to open the door for us to come back through. You two ladies will stay in the bar area with Niall and maintain your links.”
    “Niall, I need you to watch over Lisa and Melanie. If Willie shows up in our realm, get them out,” Rafe said, knowing they could be stuck in the death realm until Melanie could open another doorway.

    Arriving at Charlie’s, they stood back to watch Olivia as she scanned the room.
    “Olivia!”
her ghostly cowboys shouted.
    Olivia saw them huddled at one end of the bar and nodded. She noticed people seemed to move around the spirits unconsciously, somehow knowing someone was there.
    With Jack following and Devlin by her side, she made her way up the stairs to her unused room where the door stood slightly ajar.
    Devlin reached over and pushed the door open, cringing when it squeaked like an old haunted house.
    Rafe and Ian arrived after settling the girls with Niall in a booth. Once they made sure Willie was not around, they would wait until after midnight to convene in the bar and open the doorway since Olivia informed them spirits were more active after midnight.
    “I can sense him, he’s been here,” Olivia said. “But he’s not here now, the feeling is too weak.”
    They prowled around the room, sniffing.
    “Unless he suddenly crosses over to this side, I cannot do anything. We’ll have to go after him in his world,” Olivia said.
    Olivia still wasn’t sure exactly what she needed to do to get rid of him, but felt sure she had it within her. A sense of power grew in her head, and she pushed it back down, knowing the time was not right.
    “I say we go have a drink. It’s too early for the witching hour, and he’s not here anyway. I won’t let him run us off our property,” Rafe growled.
    When they got back downstairs, they saw Lisa and Melanie sitting stiffly in the booth. The stiffness left them when they saw their men.
    Niall slid out of the circle booth to allow the brothers to sit with their mates and pulled up an extra chair for himself, leaving himself open to the single women staring at him hungrily.
    “Okay everybody, relax. He’s not here right now, so we’ll have a drink and wait. Hank will close the bar around one, and then we’ll get to work. There’s nothing we can do right now with so many people here,” Rafe said.
    “Aren’t they your wolves? Can’t you make them leave?” Olivia asked.
    “I could, but why? You said the later it is, the better.” Rafe shrugged, unconcerned.
    Olivia chewed her bottom lip. “Sorry Rafe, I’m a little nervous.”
    “Come on, we’ll play some pool.” Devlin pulled her up.
    She found herself relaxing after shooting a few rounds, and needing a bathroom. “No, you are not following me to the bathroom,” she told Devlin. “I’ll take Lisa with me. You know we travel in packs to the restroom, pun intended.” She winked.
    Finished with their business, Lisa tucked her arm through Olivia’s after washing their hands. “How’re you holding up?”
    Olivia was assuring her she was fine as they made their way back to the men, when she saw a tiny young woman clutching Devlin’s shirt and rubbing up against him.
