Shaken more than he wanted to admit by Jacques words, Silas took a step back. “Stand up.”
Angus stood and met his gaze.
“You knew all along?”
“Yes, I have always known.”
“Where the hell have you been? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“For some it makes no difference. I have come many times and saw you from a distance. A few times I thought you saw me.”
“I did. At least I always thought I saw a black wolf, but I was never sure. You say you have come to see me before?”
“Two male pups.”
Silas met Angus’ gaze and realized his wolf had accepted Angus from the beginning. Not once had his wolf gone berserk and tried to kill the man. They fought hard, but it was never with the intensity that Silas would have for an enemy. Unable to fully process what it meant to have his litter mate serve him, he patted Angus on the shoulder and spoke. “Welcome Angus, I am proud to have you with me. We will talk further, later.”
Angus smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
Silas shook his head and returned to his chair. “Now let’s get this meeting started.”
“Thank you, Sir. I am excited to get started,” Dr. Passen said as he picked up his pad and headed toward the door.
Silas nodded, having received the same report. He eyed Hank. “How long did it take to scrub that gym?”
Hank laughed. “It took four full bloods all night, Sir.”
“Okay, I want security on rotation to watch them around the clock as they clean the gym. They do not deserve the hospitality of a cell.” Silas turned to Davian. “Are you sure you want the responsibility of Tomas? I can send him to an Alpha.”
Davian and Matt had formally petitioned for guardianship of Tomas during the meeting. Silas had been surprised, but as Matt discussed the abuse the young pup experienced at the hands of his mother, he knew Jasmine would agree with his decision to allow the pup to return after his punishment.
“Yes, Sir. I believe we can help him. He’s not a bad kid, just confused. In time he will be alright,” Davian said.
Silas nodded. “Okay, as long as you understand that I hold you and Matt responsible for him and his actions from here out.”
Davian nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
Silas clapped him on the shoulder. “Okay, work with Hank on that security detail. I will have Rose contact you next week when I release him.”
“Thank you, Sir.” He followed Hank out the room.
Angus took his hand and smiled. “I am sure you are right.”
Silas looked over his shoulder and called out. “Angus, Rone and Rese, let’s go. Your mom has Thorne.”
“Oh, oh,” Tyrese said moving briskly.
“That’s why Rose is upset,” Tyrone said, coming up behind them.
“Who is Thorne?” Angus asked.
“I’ll explain the family dynamics later,” Silas said punching the floor into the elevator keypad.
“Like Davian? Your mate’s former husband and these are his sons?” Angus looked at the twins and then met Silas’ gaze.
“Yes, like that. For now just observe, hold your questions,” Silas said as the elevator opened.
“Yes, Sir,” Angus said with a grin as he followed them out the elevator. The rebels were arguing with the guards, refusing to obey the task set aside for them. One second they were speaking English, the next they were whispering in that awful scratchy voice Silas detested.
“First off, you never raise your voices at me, ever…” Jasmine said. “Second, if I tell you to scrub this gym with a toothbrush you will do it and be glad to do it.” The next moment he heard yelps of surprise. Curious, he stepped into the gym and looked up. Jasmine had pinned every one of the rebels to the second floor railing, their feet dangled in the air. Asia stood next to her smiling. The two women were enjoying themselves.
He looked around. The twins stared up in amazement. Hank and Davian stood to the side laughing. Angus stared at Jasmine as if she were the virgin mother.
“Hello, Sweet Bitch. You brought home a little extra from your shopping trip I see.” He stepped close to her and tipped up her chin for a kiss.
“You taste good. What did you have for lunch?”
“I had a strawberry daiquiri and a margarita,” she said, her eyes gleaming with merriment.
“Hello Asia. Is your Mistress drunk?”
Asia giggled.
He blinked, surprised at the change in the young bitch. Her face softened when she gazed at Jasmine. She looked…happy.
“I don’t know, Sir. We all had a few of those fruit drinks,” she said grinning.
Tyrone and Tyrese stepped closer. “Mom? What do you plan to do with them?” Tyrone waved toward the young pups hanging above them.
“They are going to scrub the gym.” She dipped them a bit. They screamed and begged her to allow them to clean the floors.
Silas laughed and wrapped his arm around her waist. “You were right. They are going to clean the floors.”
Jasmine lowered the young pups to the floor. As soon as their feet hit the ground they fell to their knees and grabbed the buckets. Silas waved at Hank to take over as he guided Jasmine out of the gym.
“Hello,” Jasmine said, smiling at Angus.
“Hello Mistress,” Angus said bowing.
“Have you met Asia?” Jasmine asked, looking over her shoulder.
“Yes, I met her on the plane. She is a delightful woman.”
“Awww, you have manners. I like that. Welcome to our home. Has Silas released you from the dungeon yet?” she asked in a giddy tone.
“Yes, I believe he has.” Angus laughed as he walked alongside them.
“Tyrese, walk Asia to her room. The plane leaves in six hours, that should be enough time for everyone to dry out,” Silas said walking his unsteady mate toward the elevators.
Tyrone joined them in the elevator, turning his back on his brother-in-law, Thorne. “Rose is finishing our packing. I am looking forward to the beach.”
“Good.” Jasmine cupped his cheek. “She is sad and worried about her brother. I could not promise her he would be spared this time. This time he went too far.”
Tyrone nodded as he released a sigh. “I know, mom. We can only do so much; he will learn or pay the penalty. His choices are his own.”
The elevator stopped. Tyrone brushed a kiss across Jasmine’s cheek and nodded to Silas and Angus as he exited. Moments later they exited on their wing.
Jasmine’s brow rose when Angus stepped out behind them. Silas had been thinking how to broach the subject of his litter mate when she stopped and looked at him. Her gaze swept to Angus and then back at him again.
“Do you have something to tell me, Silas?” She crossed her arms and met his gaze.
He cleared his throat. “Yes…Angus is my litter mate.”
She frowned for a moment and then smiled widely. “Angus? You are a Knight? You’re his brother?”
“Well, er…no, I am not a Knight…I am Black Wolf. That is my surname to be correct.”
She waved him down. “That is a description, not a name.” Turning, she grinned at Silas. “So you have a brother…how does it feel to have more family?”
He shook his head at her teasing and looked at Angus. “My mate makes fun at my inability to understand the human relationship structure. She forgets that I have claimed her as my mate and wife. Her mother and sister are my relatives. Her sons are my sons. And we have …children.” He turned toward Jasmine, seeing her glassy eyed stare touched his heart. “She has changed me… brother…” He glanced at Angus seeing his surprise. “I am now a family man and would not have it any other way.”
Jasmine smiled and took his hand, warming him. She took Angus’ hand and walked between the two men. Silas was unsure how he felt about his brother holding his mate’s hand but since his wolf did not respond neither did he.
“Are you mated, Angus?” Jasmine asked.
Silas groaned and looked straight ahead. His mate was on a mission to see Asia mated with a litter of pups.
“No, Mistress. I have not been blessed as my…uh, brother to find my completeness. Some never do.”
Hearing the yearning in Angus’ voice, Silas glanced at him in surprise.
“You are searching for your mate?” Jasmine asked a bit too excited. Silas thought to warn Angus but let it slide. When it came to family, Jasmine would do as she pleased regardless of his opinion.
“No, not really, if I run across her that would be great, but I serve my people and now La Patron in the meantime,” he said with some hesitation as if he sensed where the conversation was headed.
Angus stood and met his gaze.
“Are we litter mates
?” Silas asked.
“You knew all along?”
“Yes, I have always known.”
“Where the hell have you been? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“For some it makes no difference. I have come many times and saw you from a distance. A few times I thought you saw me.”
“I did. At least I always thought I saw a black wolf, but I was never sure. You say you have come to see me before?”
“Yes. At least once every five years. I stayed and watched
.”
Silas could not wrap his mind around that. “
Why not say something
?”
Angus shrugged. “
Like what? You left a long time ago and never returned. I heard about a black wolf in this country and came to see for myself. You were busy training Alphas that first visit. You seemed okay. And things were changing for our clan. We moved to the continent and staked our land.”
“Two male pups.”
Silas met Angus’ gaze and realized his wolf had accepted Angus from the beginning. Not once had his wolf gone berserk and tried to kill the man. They fought hard, but it was never with the intensity that Silas would have for an enemy. Unable to fully process what it meant to have his litter mate serve him, he patted Angus on the shoulder and spoke. “Welcome Angus, I am proud to have you with me. We will talk further, later.”
Angus smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
Silas shook his head and returned to his chair. “Now let’s get this meeting started.”
Chapter 21
They had been meeting for three hours when a call from the gate came. “
Sir, the Mistress has returned and she has some breeds walking behind her car. She wants me to process them and place them in the cells below. We don’t have enough cells, she told me to ask you where to put them
.”
“Thank you, Sir. I am excited to get started,” Dr. Passen said as he picked up his pad and headed toward the door.
Matt stopped by Davian for a brief hug and then moved quickly to the door behind Dr. Passen murmuring, “Goddess bless the Mistress.”
Silas nodded, having received the same report. He eyed Hank. “How long did it take to scrub that gym?”
Hank laughed. “It took four full bloods all night, Sir.”
“Okay, I want security on rotation to watch them around the clock as they clean the gym. They do not deserve the hospitality of a cell.” Silas turned to Davian. “Are you sure you want the responsibility of Tomas? I can send him to an Alpha.”
Davian and Matt had formally petitioned for guardianship of Tomas during the meeting. Silas had been surprised, but as Matt discussed the abuse the young pup experienced at the hands of his mother, he knew Jasmine would agree with his decision to allow the pup to return after his punishment.

Davian nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
Silas clapped him on the shoulder. “Okay, work with Hank on that security detail. I will have Rose contact you next week when I release him.”
“Thank you, Sir.” He followed Hank out the room.
“Silas
?” Jasmine called.
“In the office, I have Thorne
.”
Silas frowned as he headed toward the door. “
Take him to the gym with the others, he gets no special treatment.”
Angus took his hand and smiled. “I am sure you are right.”
Silas looked over his shoulder and called out. “Angus, Rone and Rese, let’s go. Your mom has Thorne.”
“Oh, oh,” Tyrese said moving briskly.
“That’s why Rose is upset,” Tyrone said, coming up behind them.
