Alpha's Mate by Jana Leigh Read Free Book Online

problem with Quin. So far, he cannot find out who it is and why he has such a grudge for us. The one attacked today was a young female. They roughed her up pretty good outside her parent"s restaurant.” Grace said and pulled Cami out of the room towards the kitchen.
    “Restaurant, you mean Margie"s place?” Cami said and frowned. She remembered Quin telling her last night, the woman ran the place with her family.
    “Yes, her youngest. Ruby just turned eighteen last week, we had a party for her, and she was so happy and alive.” Grace replied and Cami saw tears form in the woman"s eyes.
    “Oh no, we were there last night.” Cami said and then thought for a few moments, how much had changed since she was in the restaurant eating with what she thought was her new landlord.
    “Yes, Ruby came in the morning to open like usual and there were five Rogues waiting in the alley for her. I don"t know the whole story, Quin would never tell me, but he was extremely upset when he left.” Grace commented, and pushed a plate of food in front of her.
    “Shouldn"t they call the authorities?” Cami said and picked at her plate.
    “We have to handle it in Pack. We have our own doctor and laws. Quin will take care of it.” Grace said confidently. “I suspect he and his Beta will be planning on what to do well into the night. Quin will never let this go unanswered.”
    “Do? What will he do?” Cami asked.
    “Hunt.” Grace said calmly, and Cami's eyes went wide.
    “Wait, I thought that you said that Quin was the leader, surely he would have others hunt.” Cami said feeling very protective all the sudden. “The leader should never go where he can be hurt.”
    “Dear, he is an Alpha Pack leader. He is the strongest of the group, and someone has challenged the fact that he takes care of the Pack. He will never send someone to do his dirty work. He will hunt with his Enforcers, and find the wolves that dare touch one of his. It is the way of the Pack.” Grace said gently.
    Cami did not want Quin to go anywhere near some rabid dog, she pushed her plate back, and stood up. “I need to go.” She said firmly.
    “Go? Home?” Grace said innocently.
    “No, I need to be with Quin, to help. I have no clue what the hell I will do, but for some reason it feels like that is where I need to be.” Cami said, and walked to the bedroom to change her clothes. She wore the same thing she had worn yesterday. Sometime during the day, a duffel bag of her clothes had been brought to the bedroom, and she needed to change into her jeans.
    Cami ignored the older woman who tried to get her to wait until she called down and found out where Quin was. Cami finally gave in and nodded, then waited in the hallway dressed in her comfortable jeans, a heavy sweater and hiking boots. She had the feeling she was going to need to be comfortable tonight. It could prove to be a long night.
    “He is next door, on the third floor, which is the doctor"s office. Margie and her daughter are there. They made Rodger leave because he was getting angry and upsetting the girl. Quin is there with his Beta, Devon. I let them know you were on the way. One of the Enforcers will be here soon to take you over.” Grace said.
    “Enforcer? Why do I need an escort? Surely I can walk across the street.” Cami said stubbornly.
    “With the way things have been going, Quin has left orders for all females to be escorted when on the street.” Grace said.
    “Oh, well then, I guess I can understand that.” She said grudgingly. She hated to feel like her independence was being taken away. She may be little but she could protect herself.
    Grace smiled a little when she lowered her head. Cami was going to make an excellent Alpha. Once she felt a little more comfortable in the Pack, Cami was going to be a spitfire.

    Quin stood in the doctor"s office waiting area, and waited with Devon while the doctor examined little Ruby. She had at least been beaten, and maybe more. The girl
