Chapter 1

Griffith

I opened my eyes blearily.

What was that sound?

Sitting up, I tried to shake the sleep off. I'd been up late trying to work out the bugs in a new program I'd been writing and had only gone to sleep...I checked the clock.

Half past four in the morning.

A couple hours ago.

Man, no wonder I felt like shit.

The sharp knocking started up again.

Fuck. Who was up at this hour? And why the fuck did they decide to inflict the same pain on me?

I fell back onto the bed.

Maybe they'd go away.

A pause.

And then the knocking started up again.

With a sigh, I grabbed my sweatpants and pulled them on. It would serve whoever it was at the door right if I just showed up in the buff, but I didn't really wanted my boys hanging out there all vulnerable.

The cobwebs cleared as I walked down the hall to the front door, not bothering to turn on any of the lights.

I could see clearly in a lot less light than this. One of the advantages of being a wolf.

I opened the door mid-knock.

And almost physically staggered back as the past collided with the present.

He'd filled out since I'd seen him last, but then so had I. His jeans and long sleeved t-shirt showcased a honed, strong body. He was still about an inch shorter than me, his hazel eyes striking against the warm brown of his skin. His dark hair was longer, pulled back in a stubby ponytail.

He was even more beautiful now.

I felt the pang in my heart, still there even after this many years.

But there had to be a reason he came looking for me.

Keller? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?

Yes. It's Sofia.

Sofia? Kel's little sister must be...fuck, in her twenties now.

What happened?

Now that I'd gotten over the shock, I could see the lines of stress and worry on his face.

Can I come in?

Yeah, of course.

I moved back and he stepped past me. His scent followed, the same slightly minty evergreen smell that had driven me wild.

And, unfortunately, apparently still did.

I closed the door and gestured for him to take a seat on the couch as I sat in one of the armchairs across from it.

What happened? I repeated.

He scrubbed at his face wearily, his stubble scraping against his palms as his t-shirt clung to his biceps.

I pulled my eyes away from his arms and to his face.

Alright, I needed to focus here.

Dad sealed a political alliance with Manny. She was part of the deal. You know how they are about all that bloodline bullshit. And he made sure to wait until I was out of town to pull this shit.

I leaned back in the chair, trying to process this.

Political alliances sealed with what amounted to arranged marriages weren't unheard of, but they were increasingly rare.

And it was beyond surprising that Mariana would let John do that to her daughter.

How could Mariana let that happen?

Keller looked at me with faded pain in his eyes.

Mom's dead. She died three years ago. Car accident.

That hit me in the gut. Mariana had been one of the sweetest, most nurturing people I'd ever met. I could never understand how she and John had gotten together in the first place.

I'm so sorry. And didn't that just sound completely inadequate. But there weren't any words to cover the grief I felt at the news, or how much the loss must have hurt Keller.

Thank you. He looked away and I gave him a little time to gather himself again.

Taking a deep breath he turned back to me.

"I came to ask for help. I can't leave Sofia with Manny. She should be in school,
