A good Alpha didn’t need an excuse for kindness. Mason didn’t say it aloud, but Owen heard the words. Dalton had shown Mason a courtesy that he could never imagine being repaid, one that earned him no special privileges and one, Owen would bet, he wasn’t calling in now.
No, the reason Mason considered this request was his relationship with the other Alpha.
“That said, I won’t force anyone, Emma. It has to be your choice. I won’t ask Gillian unless you think she’s ready.”
Owen’s relief at that statement was short-lived, because the healer said, “She is. She has been for months. Her title of journeyman is more a courtesy than anything else. I think this might be a good experience, but I worry about sending her into danger.”
“Agreed,” Mason said. “But Brett is aware, he won’t let Gillian out of his sight. If you have no objections, I’ll talk to her tomorrow.”
“The hell you will.” Owen’s words slammed into the silence with the ring of challenge and the tension in the room altered perceptibly. Mason swung round to face him, and Owen met his gaze and held it.
Over his dead body would he let Mason send Gillian from Willow Bend.
About the Author
National bestselling author, Heather Long, likes long walks in the park, science fiction, superheroes, Marines, and men who aren’t douche bags. Her books are filled with heroes and heroines tangled in romance as hot as Texas summertime. From paranormal historical westerns to contemporary military romance, Heather might switch genres, but one thing is true in all of her stories—her characters drive the books. When she’s not wrangling her menagerie of animals, she devotes her time to family and friends she considers family. She believes if you like your heroes so real you could lick the grit off their chest, and your heroines so likable, you’re sure you’ve been friends with women just like them, you’ll enjoy her worlds as much as she does.
