Master of Wolves by Angela Knight Read Free Book Online

you right now, it was something he couldn’t help.”
    â€œYou know what, London? I don’t care. It doesn’t matter why he infected the rogue—your job is to fix it. Find out who the bastard is and kill him. His little vampire bitch, too. Preferably before they start infecting cops with the Curse and we get a real mess on our hands.”
    â€œCharlie, believe me—the minute I spot him, he’s a dead man. He helped that bitch cut out Tony’s heart while he was still alive. They’re going to pay.”
    â€œGood.” A deadly little silence fell before the chieftain spoke again. “What are you going to do about Weston? If you have to Turn to Dire Wolf to jump him, she’s going to see too much. You’ll have to take her out, too.”
    Jim stiffened as his every instinct howled in rejection. “No.”
    â€œLondon…”
    â€œIf I have to, I’ll Turn her.”
    â€œThe idea is to keep the bad guys from creating a bunch of werewolf cops, not to start Turning them ourselves.”
    â€œShe won’t be a rogue. I’ll be her Wolfmaster.”
    Charlie snorted, the sound cynical. “I’m sure your dick’ll love that.”
    Jim forced himself to bite back several of the choicer replies he had in mind. “My sex life is none of your business, Charlie.”
    â€œLook, I don’t care who you ball. The only thing I give a rat’s ass about is protecting our secret so we don’t get King fucking Arthur down on our collective heads. All I’m saying is, don’t get so wrapped up in this chick that you forget to keep an eye on business.”
    He tightened his slipping grip on his temper. Charlie was an asshole, but he could also pull Jim off this mission if he wasn’t handled carefully. And God knew what would happen to Faith then. “If you’re that worried about Arthur, let me call in Diana. Her husband could work a spell to locate the vamp and that rogue, and I could finish them both off without anybody knowing anything. Including Arthur and Faith.”
    â€œForget it.”
    â€œChief…”
    â€œYour sister had no business marrying that fairy, London,” Charlie said hotly. “She didn’t even ask permission from the Council of Clans. Arthur is in and out of Llyr’s palace all the time. You think he’s not going to notice that the queen of the fucking Sidhe is a werewolf?”
    Two months ago, Diana London met and fell in love with Llyr Galatyn during a hunt for one of the rogue vampires. Neither of them expected the relationship to go anywhere. After all, she was a mortal werewolf, while he was the immortal king of the Sidhe.
    Yet love won out, thanks to the intervention of Cachamwri, the Dragon God—Jim was still a little fuzzy on the details of how that had come about. At any rate, Cachamwri had made Diana both immortal and cross fertile with her lover, though she still remained a werewolf.
    The problem was that Llyr’s closest ally was Arthur Pendragon and his Magekind, who didn’t know werewolves existed.
    What’s more, they couldn’t be allowed to find out. Merlin himself had made that very clear sixteen hundred years ago when he’d created the Direkind werewolves to keep an eye on his magical champions. If Arthur and his warriors ever overstepped their bounds, the Direkind were supposed to step in and deal with them.
    But that would only be possible if the Magekind never discovered the existence of the werewolves, whom they might otherwise destroy. The Direkind had kept themselves hidden for sixteen hundred years.
    Now, however, a werewolf was living in the court of Arthur’s closest ally. Keeping her true nature secret was going to be tricky, and they all knew it. Fortunately, Diana and Llyr had come up with a cover story.
    Jim took a deep breath and explained one more time. “Diana and Llyr told Arthur she’s from the court of
