When Silva waited on a table near the Silver brothers’, the three iven theain, but it was a busy afternoon as the wolves in the area enjoyed a reprieve from the last snowstorm before the next hit

Tom turned back to the table, confident Sam could handle the situation but still wary about the wolf strangers, especially considering the topic at hand "Since we’ve never s around the farot to be soreed "Yeah, I’m inclined to think they could be frouise their scent Otherwise, ouldn’t knoho they were anyway"

"Possibly Or they just don’t want us trailing thes us to which ones they are and why they’re doing this," Darien said

"Or they could just be trouble wolves or wolves for hire Or some other wolves that have a beef with us," Jake said

"You mean like the wolves from the red pack who caused us trouble before?" Tom asked

"Hey, lady!" one of the other outsider wolves said "Are you working only that side of the tavern?"

When she reached them, the blond man scratched his beard, his cold, dark eyes focused on her "Hell, woot a spit of whiskey in this place"

"Silva," she said in a sugary way She could be a real tigress when she was provoked, but she also kne to play people "I thought you had a beer"

Toot physical with her "I’ll take the redhead on the left," he said to his brothers

Jake suy of the bunch Okay, I’ll take the scraggly black-haired guy to the right"

"You need glasses," Toht is the smallest one of the three"

Elizabeth chuckled Tom smiled

When the dark-haired man reached for Silva’s arm, virtually every male in the tavern shoved his chair aside and headed for the newcomers’ table Sam was there, too, a full bottle of whiskey in his clenched hand He looked like he was itching to use it
