“One of them was Brian’s enforcer. He got pretty chatty once they offered him a deal to release him from prison sometime in his late sixties. Guess he thought that sounded better than dying in a cage. They’ve already caught a couple of the fugitives thanks to his blabbing, and they’re hoping for even more.”
“And so, ends the saga of the Riverson pack,” Lucy said, lying down and putting her shades back in place.
“Not really,” Gavin said. “It’s really only half the battle. Unfortunately, a good number of otherwise normal wolves wound up members of the pack, too. Brian’s enforcer told Dane, the NRC Enforcer, they’d been running a sort of racket of false promises to grow the pack. Once they were in…”
“They couldn’t get out,” Ally finished for him, nodding sadly.
“Exactly,” Gavin said. “Now they don’t even have the promise of a pack.”
“I’ve already agreed to take on anyone who wants to join us,” Mason said.
“That’s what Roman said. He also said I was the perfect choice to process all those wolves and find alternate packs for those who don’t want to join us.”
“Why wouldn’t they want to join us?” Lucy asked. “We’re awesome!”
“Agreed,” Kade said.
Ally veered the conversation back on topic. “Where are they all now?”
“Tessa’s house in Pepper,” Lucy answered. “It’s not much, but it’s better than wandering around the woods, lost and afraid.”
Ally whistled, worry etching her brow. “Crap, even if the pack hasn’t grown since I escaped, that’s still a lot of people to be living in such a cramped space. They’re already under a ton of stress, I can’t imagine they’re going to have much fun packed in there like sardines.”
Gavin scrubbed a hand over his face. “Yeah, it’s going to be a big job.”
“Sounds like you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you, little brother,” Kade said.
Mason popped a beer and took a sip before letting out a refreshed sigh. “Well, what are you waiting for? Better get started.”
He jerked his head back toward the hotel. Gavin balked as he watched a beautiful young woman jog by in a bikini top and a thong.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! You ride my coattails to get a vacation and then you’re not even going to let me enjoy the beach bunnies for an afternoon?”
Mason smirked. “Them’s the breaks. Now get to work.”
