nodded at his groin.
    “Sorry, I was just thinking about the meeting this morning.” Anger reared again, and he
    fought off the urge to pound his fist on the truck’s hood. “Those men have no sense of honor.”
    “Honor no, but they do have support on their side.” Her expression saddened. “There are
    a lot of ranchers around here who have lost some of their livestock to coyotes, whether we want
    to acknowledge it or not. And they stand up for each other. For now, I have the legal means to
    keep them stuck on the sidelines, but if I can’t find any evidence soon as to who or what’s really
    behind this, my hands will be tied.”
    “So you believed us when we said it wasn’t our coyotes,” said Talon.
    “I believed you when you said it wasn’t a coyote kill, let alone one of yours.” She leaned
    back against the truck, gazing at the animals playing beyond the fence. “There’s a lot about
    Mayor Carson and his son that rubs me the wrong way, and to be honest, that little display of
    theirs looked staged. But I don’t have any reason to doubt his accusations, or any proof. It’s more
    of a gut feeling.”
    “And you’re telling us this because…” said Caden.
    “Because it’s your land he’s after.” She angled her head slightly and looked at them. “I
    don’t suppose you know why he’s so determined to close you down…besides the obvious hatred
    for your guests?”
    “We’ve been trying to figure that out since he started ranting about the refuge two years
    ago. If it hadn’t been for your father standing up for us…”
    Caden let his voice fade when he realized he’d brought up the one subject he knew she
    didn’t like to talk about. Talon cast him a nasty look as Rebecca’s body stiffened and the color
    drained from her cheeks. She’d had the same reaction at Carson’s ranch when the man had dared
    to toss her dad’s death in her face, and he couldn’t believe he’d be so thoughtless as to bring it up
    again.
    He clenched his jaw and reached for her arm, hoping she wouldn’t yank it away. “I’m
    sorry, Rebecca. I know you’d rather not talk about your dad.”
    “It’s okay. And it’s not like I can avoid his death forever.” She gave him a tight smile.
    “But I’ll try.”
    She stepped forward and headed back to the fence. The large male had rejoined the
    others, but the pack hadn’t ventured far from the driveway. Caden inhaled as she eased by him,
    drinking in the sweet fragrance of lightly scented soap and clean cotton. But what held his focus
    was the subtler essence nearly hidden by the crisp smell of winter and the heady bouquet of trees.
    This aroma was earthy and warm, like sun-ripened berries in the early morning dew. He forced
    down a swallow, cursing under his breath when Talon let out the moan he’d only just crushed.
    Rebecca glanced at them over her shoulder, but didn’t acknowledge the edge of lust he
    knew glimmered in their eyes. Talon was right. The hunger moon was nearly at its peak, and all
    the animals felt its pull. The need to find their mate was always the strongest during those few
    winter days, and he knew they’d never make it through another year without the woman they’d
    secretly loved by their side.
    He cocked his head toward their prey, wondering why Talon hadn’t ventured over to her,
    when his brother sneered at him and shifted his feet. Caden didn’t hide the smile that broke free
    when he realized Talon’s cock was obviously getting the better of him.
    Caden took a deep breath, and made his way across the short distance. “You seem quite
    taken by them. I didn’t realize you liked coyotes so much.”
    The smile she flashed him nearly had him doubled over in pain as his shaft thickened and
    pulsed, pushing against the zipper until he didn’t know how the small metal teeth managed to
    stay together. It didn’t help when her gaze swept down the length of his body, lingering on his
    crotch before slowly creeping back up.
    “I
