Quil stood next to Billy in his wheelchair in the living room. Billy had a mixture of pride and<br />

impatience in his eyes.<br />

“You got a present,” Billy said. “It’s in the kitchen.”<br />

Jacob had figured as much. He and Quil went to the table where the square, foot-tall mailing box sat.<br />

Before he opened it, Jacob checked the address. “No return address.”<br />

“Did you expect one?” Quil asked. There never had been a return address.<br />

Jacob huffed. “No, I guess not. Let’s get this over with.” He opened the flaps and looked inside for<br />

only a second before turning his head away with a disgusted grunt. He no longer felt queasy at the<br />

sight of blood or severed body parts, but this was a little extra gruesome.<br />

“Brain stew, anyone?” Quil asked.<br />

“Aw, Quil, that’s gross. Shut up.” Jacob closed the box and checked around inside the box. “No<br />

letter this time. I guess he thinks he’s finally got his point across.”<br />

Quil shook his head. “If he thought that, the demented fucker wouldn’t send anymore of this shit.”<br />

“You think. Jesus Christ, if I at least knew where the hell these were coming from . . .” Jacob trailed<br />

off, not even sure how to finish the sentence.<br />

“You’d sit back and feel sorry for the schmuck who had to play donor, but you wouldn’t do anything<br />

about it.”<br />

Jacob’s ebony eyes flashed to Quil’s ochre ones. “I would go after him and kill the fucker like I’ve<br />

sworn to do,” he growled.<br />

“You’ve sworn to protect La Push and its people, just like the rest of us.” Quil knew this was a<br />

sensitive subject, and he didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes—least of all his Alpha—but they all<br />

knew what would happen if one Shifter went alone. “Leaving it to go after one Bloodsucker is not<br />

doing it.”<br />

“So we just keep letting him get away with that?” Jacob pointed to the box.<br />

“What other choice do we have, Jacob?” Every few years, they received a gift. It was never at the<br />

same time, and it was never expected. But every time it happened, Quil and Jacob got into the same<br />

argument. “He knows that the Shifters won’t leave the area unprotected. He also knows that if he<br />

pisses you off to the point that you leave the pack by yourself, you’ll be almost as vulnerable as that<br />

guy.” Quil jerked his thumb toward the table. “Without an alpha, we would be, too.”<br />

“I’d make you Alpha before I left, Quil.”<br />

“Jacob, shut up. You’re not going anywhere.” Jacob and Quil turned to see Billy wheel into the room.<br />

“You got another one, huh? What is it this time?”<br />

“You don’t want to know,” the two Shifters said in unison.<br />
