Larissa Nash (Link’s daughter) went in search of one of her best friends. Arriving on Zeke’s doorstep ‘Her Wolf’, she never expected to find herself in a town of shifters, until Kace Lowell, the Alpha claimed her and took her away to his man-cave to have his wicked way with her.
Allegra landed the Sheriff, Larissa got the Mayor.
Allegra was misguided if she thought the holidays would help her family accept Zeke more easily.
I snorted, “Good luck with her mom.”
A wide grin split Zeke’s face as he looked over my shoulder. “Good luck with my alpha.”
His alpha? What the heck did he mean by that?
“Huh?” My brow wrinkled in confusion, but I didn’t get the chance to ask what Zeke was talking about before strong arms grabbed me from behind. I was tossed over a broad shoulder, and some random guy carried me away while I pounded on his back with my fists. Allegra just whispered, “Oh, boy.”
Being kidnapped while my best friend did nothing to help me was beyond wrong. Especially when she was the reason I was there in the first place.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“You do realize how ridiculous that sounds, right? You can’t just go around kidnapping people and then act all surprised when they’re afraid.”
“It worked for Zeke,” I grumbled, wondering how my beta had gotten Allegra to accept him so damn quickly.
“I’m still unclear on exactly what happened between my best friend and Zeke last night, but I’m pretty sure you can’t compare him rescuing her from a car accident to you carting me off in the middle of a conversation you weren’t even a part of.”
Overwhelmed by lust, she quickly forgives his caveman instincts.
EPILOGUE
KACE
“Baby, we need to have a talk with our daughter.”
“A talk?”
“She’s decided that she doesn’t want to wait until she grows up to find her mate.”
“This isn’t funny, Zeke just called to tell me that Jake caught Kyla walking Brea and Alena all over the neighborhood, knocking on everyone’s door to see if their fated mate lives there.”
Alena was Calliope and Tane’s oldest, she was two years older than Brea and Kyla, but they were joined at the hip.
Now, Larissa doubled over with laughter, and I scowled. “She’s five, Larissa. She shouldn’t be thinking about mating until I’m dead.”
Just then, our seven-year-old, Talon, came strutting into the kitchen with his little chest puffed up. “Don’t worry, Dad. Jake and I threatened all the boys at school. They won’t go near our sisters,” he stated proudly.
“Seriously?”
I grinned shamelessly and gave Talon a high five. Larissa smacked my arm.
“There are human boys in their school,” I growled.
Larissa rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted when our two-year-old, Izac, came toddling into the room.
“Dwink, Mommy?”
“Of course, baby,” she said, then threw me a warning glare as she walked over to get a sippy cup from a cabinet.
She pulled it down and started to fill it when Izac piped up. “No, Mommy. Bowl.”
“What?” she asked as we both watched him curiously.
“Bowl. Izac be doggy. Bowl.” Then he got down on his hands and knees and imitated lapping up water from a bowl on the floor. “Be doggy, dwink bowl.”
“Talon giggled, “why does your brother want to drink from a bowl on the floor?” Larissa asked Talon suspiciously.
“Talon,” I growled.
He giggled again. “We might have told him if he wanted to shift, he had to eat and drink like a dog.”
“Good grief,” Larissa muttered. She put the sippy cup together and leaned down to pick up Izac, propping him on her hip. “Izac, baby. You can drink from your cup. You’ll be a wolf someday.”
“No, dwink bowl.”
Larissa raised her brow and gave me a “it’s yours turn” look.
I scooped him up and looked him in the eye with a serious expression. “You’ll be a wolf soon, buddy”.
