kissed Billie's forehead. "I promise I'll explain everything to you. You can tell your father I'll pay for the damages as well. I'll see you in a bit."
Billie watched Royce walk out of the room. She would give him an hour. If she didn't hear from him then, she would go find him. As Hayes knew from first hand experience, there was no hiding from her.
Chapter Ten
"So what exactly are you going to do about the Gren problem?" Royce asked Roxie.
They were sitting in the living room of her parents' house. Belinda, Roxie's mother, sat with them. He had called Roxie after he had left Billie at the gym and asked her to meet him here.
Roxie shook her head. "I don't really know. If we had some kind of werewolf jail or something, I'd be all for locking Gren up and throwing away the key, but we don't."
Before Royce could say anything more, Belinda spoke up. "Roxie, I know you don't want to be the one to make the hard decisions, but you have to. You rule over the packs. That means you are the one responsible for keeping them in line. Maybe it's time to do something to stop Gren, permanently."
"You aren't suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" Roxie asked. "I never knew you were so bloodthirsty, Mom."
Her mother, who was sitting next to her on the couch, patted her hand. "Well I was raised by a werewolf, my dear." Belinda looked over at Royce and smiled before she turned back to her daughter. "Dad may have been a lone wolf, but over the years he made sure he kept tabs on what was happening in werewolf society. When I was growing up I wasn't sheltered from it as you were."
"I'm seeing a whole different side to you." Roxie looked over at Royce. "I guess I have you to thank for raising my mother to be so tough. Way to go, Grandpa."
Royce scowled at Roxie. "I've told you a thousand times not to call me that."
"You are my grandfather, aren't you? And you let my mother call you dad."
"That's different. I raised your mother as my daughter. I'm the only father she's known. You on the other hand only call me that to try and get a rise out of me."
"Whatever." Roxie grew serious. "Leave the Gren problem with me for now. I'll have a talk with Beowulf about it and see what he thinks. All I can say is try to be more careful. Now what was the other thing you wanted to discuss?"
Royce took a deep breath before he answered. "It's actually a favor I want to ask of you and your mother. It has to do with Billie."
"You haven't told her about you being a werewolf, have you?"
"No. I thought maybe you and your mother could help explain it to her. She may accept it more if you both were here when I told her."
"Unbelievable," Roxie said. "First Beowulf, then Wade, and now you. What is with you idiot male werewolves claiming mortal women as mates without letting them know what exactly they are getting themselves into?"
"It just happened. You know how strong the mating urge is, Roxie. I admit, I should have said something to Billie before, but it isn't something you can just lay onto a mortal and expect them to believe. Look what you did to Beowulf when he went wolf on you. You used your magic to keep him in wolf form for twenty-four hours. I don't call that taking it well."
Roxie flicked his comment away with her hand. "I wasn't exactly thinking straight that night. Sorry if seeing you and Gren go at each other at Wulf's Den upset me. Fine, I'll talk to Billie with Mom. When are you going to bring her around?"
"I was thinking today. Say in the next hour or so."
Roxie narrowed her eyes at him. "Why the big rush all of a sudden?" She then swore under her breath. "Billie was there when Gren gave his ultimatum to you. She was a witness to it all. Nice one."
Before Royce could try and stand up for himself, the doorbell rang. Belinda got up to answer it. He heard her greet the person who stood at the door. Much to his shock, it was Billie's voice he heard answering back. He had no idea how she knew where to find him. He hadn't had a chance to call her.
Belinda returned to the room with Billie in tow. Billie
