She took paper towels and carefully wiped the damaged area. So intent on what she was doing, it took her several minutes to realize that a woman stood behind herand stared.
Watching her reflection in the mirror, Miki marveled at how much the woman seriously resembled Conall. Funny, he never mentioned a sister. But she kept staring and smirking without saying anything. And Miki was in a considerably foul mood.
What? Miki snapped.
Just trying to figure out what my cousins doing with a little midget like you.
Maybe you should ask him that. And calling someone a little midget is redundant. Midget implies little. The woman stared at her and Miki couldnt resist. Im sorry, should I speak slower? Perhaps sound words out for you?
The woman growled as Miki slipped her jacket back on. And, being Miki, she simply couldnt leave it alone. You know theres no shame in having special needs. She leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, The short bus can be fun.
With that last shot, she walked out the door, but the woman clamped her hand around her already wounded arm. Miki let out a pained bark, but it only lasted a second. Because suddenly Conall was there, lifting the woman up and slamming her against the far wall.
I should tear your throat out.
You dont have the guts, cousin.
Conall growled, his canines extending to deadly points.
Then he heard a snarl and felt hands slide under his arms and loop around the back of his neck. Let her go or Ill snap your neck.
Einarr. But Conall was too pissed to let his cousin go. Shed hurt Miki. That was all the wolf in him knew. That was all he needed to know.
Fuck you.
Einarrs grip tightened as Conall distantly heard glass breaking. Then he felt Einarr stiffen.
Let him go or I cut em off.
The three Vga-Feilans looked down. Miki crouched low behind Einarr, a broken bottle shoved between his legs and up against his groin.
What the fuck? Einarr wasnt used to women facing off against him. He was big and imposing and used that to his advantage. Clearly, however, Miki didnt care.
Let him go.
Get the fuck away from mehey! Cut that shit out! Conall would have laughed at his cousins obvious discomfort if the man hadnt tightened his grip on his throat.
Miki. Go, Conall ordered.
No way. She looked around Einarrs legs at Conall. Im having way too much fun. She glanced up at Einarr. You ever seen a horse castrated? I have.
He could smell Einarrs fear and panic. And he loved it. But he wanted Miki safe.
Hey, Conall.Whats going on? His Alphas. He loved how Sara always seemed so calm. So in control. Seconds before she started to really hurt someone.
Just a little disagreement.
Really? Sara crouched down next to Miki. Whatcha doin?
Playing lets turn the stallion into a gelding. Of course, in his case I guess its really turning a dog into a bitch. Conall heard Einarr grunt and knew Miki was having way too much fun with that broken bottle.
You know, Mik. We can take it from here.
Hes not your Pack, right?
Nope.
Then as a Texan I have no choice but to help out in thanks for your kind hospitality. So until he gets his hands off Conallhis balls are mine.
Sara stood up. You heard her. She leaned in. And if I were you, Id do it. She helped on a ranch for two years when she was twelve. The girl is not afraid to get bloody.
Einarrs hands released Conall.
Good boy. He could hear the condescension in Mikis voice. Now sit pretty!
Sara slapped her hand over Mikis mouth and shoved her back with the rest of the Pack. It amazed him Miki had lived this long.
Saras hand rested on his shoulder. Heard her cool, calm voice in his ear. Whos this?
He tried to rein in the beast. If he let it loose now, hed kill the bitch in front of him. Sara probably smelled that. She knew her Pack well.
This is my cousin. He released her. Gudrun Vga-Feilan. That was all he could manage at the moment. Not a problem, though. Sara pushed him back and the two females squared off while he and Einarr continued to glower at each other.
Sara took a protective stance in front of Conall. Kind of funny, since he towered over her. But hed seen this woman in action. Gudrun, however, had not.
Pretty scar, his cousin sneered.
He would have launched himself at her again, but Zach grabbed his arm and held him back. He realized Zach didnt want him involved. Not because it was two females fighting, but because the man loved watching Sara do damage. It made him hard.
Wow. That was witty. Ive never heard that one before.
Gudruns eyes narrowed. Conall could smell his cousins annoyance that her insults werent bothering Sara. And they really werent. The girl had lived with worse for years. Hell, shed lived with her grandmother for years. That alone made her tough.
So, seeing that Sara wasnt an easy target, Gudrun looked back at him. That little midget. She glanced in Mikis direction. So weak. So vulnerable.
