and
everyone’s invited. Maybe that will make up for it, although the strippers are
probably not invited.”
    “You
do know that you’ll have to find a babysitter when you go out on the town now,”
Bear reminded him.
    “Holy
shit, we will,” said Aiden. “Charlotte’s father said he could always look after
the baby once Charlotte goes back to work so maybe that will extend to evening
sitting too.”
    “Does
he know about…?”
    “Us,
sure he does. Charlotte broke the news to him after she found out she was
pregnant. He’s such an easy going sort of guy I don’t think he would have cared
if his daughter had married a guy with two heads just as long as that man loves
her and always makes her happy.”
    They
turned the corner and the parking lot came back into view. They’d run hard and
finished the complete lap of the lake in record time. Since
they’d been running someone else had pulled into the parking lot. It was
Liam Ahern. He’d seen him last month at the star gazing get together. Bear had
heard through the grapevine that the guy could be trouble when he wanted to be.
Rumor was he had issues with Aiden and hoped for everyone’s sake he wasn’t here
to cause any trouble. As they headed across the lot, Liam leaned against the
hood of his car with his arms crossed.
    “I
was wondering when he was going to show up. Nick warned me he was gunning for
me. I don’t think I can tolerate him this early in the morning,” Aiden
whispered. “Morning, Liam. You going running?”
    “No,
I’m here to see you.”
    “Have
you met Dr. Bear McWilliams?” asked Aiden.
    “I’ve
seen him around, but we haven’t met formally,” said Liam. He put his hand out
to Bear who shook it. The guy had an iron like grip. When
Bear pulled away he hoped Liam didn’t see him pulling a face where his fingers
felt like they’d been put through a mangle. That was one strong bear, even for
a Grizzly.
    “So
what did you need to see me about,” Aiden asked him.
    “You’ve
been ignoring my phone calls and I need to know when we’re going to call a meeting
to discuss elections to appoint the new leader of our group.”
    Bear
sensed tension brewing. He thought about leaving but somehow knew Aiden would
need an ally here because things could turn ugly fast.
    “As
far as I’m aware we’re not taking a vote. I think most people are happy with
the way things are being run.”
    Liam
took one step closer to Aiden. “Happy, do you think people are happy with that
woman who was sniffing around and asking questions?”
    Bear
knew he was referring to Ava and that Liam probably hadn’t heard the news that
she’d married Nick in Vegas.
    “That
was a close call and that trouble started with you.”
    “With me? How many times
have I warned others to be careful, to think before they speak?” asked Aiden.
    “It
has everything to do with it. It all started with you and that doctor woman.”
    It
was Aiden’s turn to take a step closer to Liam.
    “Her
name is Charlotte not that doctor woman.”
    “You
married her and now as the leader, your brother and the others think it’s okay to date and marry humans. You are a bad example
for the group, Aiden Renner,” said Liam.
    “Am
I really?”
    “And
that baby your wife’s carrying, the baby that Dane’s wife’s got in her belly,
well someone’s going to catch on because those babies are going to be freaks.
We’re all at risk because you couldn’t resist fucking a human.”
    Bear
could see that Liam had worked himself up into such a frenzy his eyes were
changing color and he was on the verge of shifting. If he or Aiden didn’t calm
him down and soon, things were going to get out of hand and right here in
public.
    “Not
here okay,” said Bear pushing him backwards.
    “And why ever not? Come on. The three
of us will shift and let the best bear win,” said Liam.
    “Are
you fucking crazy or what? There are humans around and that’s the reason me and
Aiden didn’t shift for our run.
