Wade and the bartender laughed "She’ll have a shot of your fauy so over here," Wade said, nodding his head to the right He walked over to a table that sat further away from the others, and I took the seat across from him He threw back the shot, and I did the sastuff," I said around a cough "So, what’s this all about? You want to liquor me up and see if I’ll confess to the murders?" I leaned back in uy, but he was also a leader He may have seeuard down

"You’ve already been sentenced, ould I need a confession?" Wade asked, pushing the shot glass back and forth between his hands "I just thought you could use so to be strong, yet breaking inside"

What the hell was I supposed to say to that? "You can?" I asked with skepticism

"You don’t hide it as well as you think It’s written all over your face"

I looked away, annoyed that he was right I’d always been a horrible liar "Thanks, Dr Phil I’ll work on it"

Wade released a heavy breath, raising his arnal the bartender

"What is the Idaho pack like?" I asked nervously It’d been a constant question in my brain since I heard I’d be shipped off My punish as a servant for the rest ofmyself into a new pack hat really scared mental, and mean towards wolves they didn’t know It all boiled down to packs being a tight knit group who stuck together There were so many different packs we sorta had to be that way towards others If we shoeakness, the surrounding packs would take that as a cue to a their packs larger Not all large packs happen this way, but it’s not unheard of when dealing with the ruthless, power hungry alphas

"It’s a well-functioning pack of around eighty The alpha’s naest alphas, and the fiercest He runs his pack like a well-oiled ed his position Then again, so has your mate" Wade winked

Mate--that word didn’t apply to what Adah to describe ere to each other Surprise filledthat Adaht about souess I was still na&iuo against Ada for his position

"I thought it was pretty cool how you handed Nicholas his ass last night," Wade said, interruptinga red corset, black shorts and black hose with a lace pattern walked up to our table She set doo chubby glasses filled with amber liquid and smiled at me

"You here to interview, honey? You’re hired," She winked "With a face and body like that, you’ll be booked for the next year" The woman, whose hair was obviously dyed blonde, s a chipped front tooth

"I…uh…no," I ht to form a coherent sentence

"She’s a friend of mine, Ruth Just here to keepmoney across the table Ruth picked the bills up and tucked thee yourher business card down in front of me Who knew prostitutes had business cards?

I nodded, at a loss for words It wasn’t every day I got propositioned to becoht When Ruth sauntered away, I started laughing

"What was that?" I said through a giggle "Are seedy underbelly places your norrosseda place like this would be to a male olf--well any male for that matter Werewolf men just happened to be a little friskier than the humans

"It’s part of my job to know the seedy underbelly side of our kind" Wade smirked

I wondered just hoell he knew Ruth and her kind I shuddered thinking about it Wade was a good-looking guy; surely he didn’t need to depend on paid pleasure to satisfy hi forward and propping his elbows on the table "If you’re innocent, then why are you not fighting us on your punishment? You do believe you’re innocent, don’t you?"

"Does it uys already have yourto affect your judg if ical person would accept being shipped off to a strange new pack without so hts of running away so they weren’t treated like a prisoner for the rest of their lives Did uiltier?
