Natasha.” Robert Gustafan appeared alongside Devon, making his presence known.
His thick frame forced him to stand sideways as he pressed as close to the
entrance of Raul’s home as he dared. No male entered another male’s home
without consent, unless he wished to die. “Come here, Angela. Now. I’ll talk to
you outside.”
    It was almost impossible to ignore Robert’s command, having
grown up knowing him as one of the head counsel leaders and dominating alpha
males of Colony. She hesitated though, their smells reeking so furiously with
outrage her instincts wouldn’t allow her to move. She opened her mouth, ready
to tell him there was no way she would go anywhere with him until he changed
his attitude.
    Raul spoke before she could. “She’s not going anywhere,” he
growled. “What the hell is this all about? You come to my den, stinking up my
air with preposterous accusations. What do you want with Angela?”
    “We’re checking all the dens.” Devon straightened, obviously
feeling the importance of his call. “It’s imperative all litters cooperate with
Colony right now or severe measures will be taken. There aren’t many jaguars in
Colony with computer skills sharp enough to break into a password-protected
website. But if they already had the password—a password that didn’t belong to
them—that is a crime comparable to theft.”
    “Cooperate with what?” Raul asked, obviously ignoring the
rest of Devon’s accusations.
    “There will be no challengers right now.” Robert puffed his
chest out, reeking of his own self-importance. “Colony is at a shifting point
and any rebels will be silenced.”
    “Silenced?” Raul stepped forward, growling and suddenly
looking larger than he did a moment ago.
    “Get out of the way, Raul,” Devon growled, his incisors
pressing against his human lips and making them twist in an odd shape when he
sneered. “We’re going to talk to Angela, and you’re not going to stop us.”
    “Like hell!” Raul leapt so quickly he became a blur.
    “Raul!” Angela screamed, and darted toward the doorway,
feeling her bones bulge against her human muscles.
    She jumped to the side when Rafe flew out the door, jumping
onto the mound of male flesh and muscle while screams and fierce howls suddenly
violated the night.
    Raul showed amazing strength, considering he attacked two males,
both of whom were older and stockier than he was. His favor was youth, pure
aggressive power. And it wasn’t one on two for very long. Rafe jumped in to
assist his older littermate. She barely made it out the door when Ran was right
behind her, practically pushing her to the side. He dove into the air, ripping
his shirt off and tossing it to the side as the howl that escaped his mouth
wasn’t quite human.
    Angela’s insides burned. The words exchanged were
terrifying, revealing the truth surrounding Colony as being so much worse than
she guessed at first. And it was almost impossible to stomach it could be
worse.
    “Your litter will die tonight,” Devon howled as he managed
to jump to his feet and square his shoulders. His hands were fisted and his
face not quite human. Cheek bones curved differently now, pressing his nose out
a bit farther. Outrage filled the air and made it nearly impossible to keep his
less-aggressive form.
    “Do you think you can decide the future of Colony and the
rest of us will belly-up to your sick ideas?” Raul sounded so calm that it made
him appear more terrifying. “You don’t speak for all of us, Devon. And you sure
as hell don’t speak for my litter.”
    “Anyone not in agreement with Colony prospering will die.”
Robert looked from Raul to her, and then at Ran and Rafe. He glanced up and
down the street and spotted others hedging closer, sniffing out the trouble and
deciding if they should interfere. He raised his voice, speaking louder. “No
more will jaguars slink through the mountains. Never again will we run from
