“How can you help?”
“We’ll start with night runs through the forest,” he said.“We’ll gradually bring other wolves to run with us to show he isn’t alone.Teach him about pack life.”
Tavish digested everything he said, and somewhere deep in his soul, he recognized this was the right path.Even his wolf agreed.
“All right.”
“Good,” Jericho said.“We’ll start tonight.I’ll meet you at the pack lodge about nine.”
Chapter Six
Frustration naggedat Tavish as he paced back and forth in the pack house.His thoughts were filled with everything that had been said between him and Mairi.This trip to America wasn’t going as planned, and he was so fucking confused.Maybe Mairi was right.Maybe he should just reject her and walk away.It would save himself a lot of headaches.
Then he remembered she said he was selfish, and those thoughts just proved how right she was.A rejection would sever the ties all right, but he would also doom himself to a life of loneliness.Sure, he could find some woman to marry, maybe a female who lost her mate, and he might even grow feelings for her, but it wouldn’t be the same.Now that he’d met Mairi, he knew instinctively that no one would compare to her.His wolf would reject any other woman, and truthfully, now he couldn’t picture himself with anyone but her.Sure, it might just be biological shifter hormones, or whatever the hell she had called it, but it opened his eyes.His wolf’s emergence changed everything, and if he was truly honest with himself, he was afraid of his wolf disappearing again.Yes, he felt betrayed by his beast, but that didn’t mean he wanted it to fall silent once more.He’d felt hollow before, and he knew that’s what he would be if his wolf vanished.
He never wanted to feel that way ever again.
Mairi was right.Hewasa selfish asshole.
“Ready?”
The voice made him jump and he spun around to see Alpha Jericho, and the man standing slightly behind him had to be his beta, Ledger Klayman.Pushing all thoughts of Mairi and their situation aside, he nodded.
“Aye,” he said.
“Are you all right?”Jericho asked.
Tavish nodded.“I just ...well, I saw Mairi having supper with a man, and I didn’t like it.”
Jericho and Ledger shared a quick look.
“It was probably Rhodes Madigan,” the beta said softly and Jericho nodded.
“What is he to her?”Tavish demanded.His wolf prowled through his mind, wanting to go find the man who dared spend time withtheirmate.
“They’re friends,” Jericho replied firmly.
