Once I ca drink Trout swa thery stare With a quick precise ht to free itself fro doith my paws outstretched, I bit a chuck out of the fish The breeze stirred, crickets chirped, and the sky was filled with twinkling diaht

As I was about to take another bite, a jet black wolf stepped through the trees Its eyes were the color of citrines and stood out against its ebony fur This wolf demanded my respect and servitude, andabout my dinner, I rolled onto ile parts on a wolf

The black wolf sauntered over to where I lay submissive and sniffed my belly My himpered The black wolf ular between its teeth, but the pressure I expected didn’t cous and licked the side of my jaw The action caused confusion and relief in my wolf--and a bit of excitement This was her alpha, my alpha, and he’d shown affection towards her, towardson the ways of the wolf It was against the pack rules to wander off by myself, but I did anyway Adaed the fish withto my alpha Adarabbed his own We ate side by side for the next ten minutes like equals

"Shift," his voice penetrated my mind It freaked h telepathy Only the alpha could speak to us that way though, so at least I didn’t have the entire pack inside my head

My skin itched and the hair on my back prickled and thinned as I obeyed his order When the sensation subsided, I lay on the dewy grass fully huain and naked I stashed my clothes at the entrance to the tree line and hadn’t expected to change forms until I returned home

Adam transformed as well and stood in front of me as nude as the day he was born Nudity was another insecurity the pack didn’t share with huh and through I hadn’t been a wolf long enough foraround in the flesh

I stared at the ground and waited for Adam toout of the house and running through the forest since I built up a tolerance to the pain My wolf yearned to feel the wind through her fur and taste the spoils of a fresh kill Adam never once met me in the woods or even mentioned he knew I did it

"Stand," Adam said He wasn’t much of a talker, at least not toto cover all of my bare bits with my arms and hands, I stood aardly I wrapped one arm around my breast and placed my other hand in front of h I didn’t feel completely exposed

Adam walked closer and my wolf panted in exciteht then and there I, on the other hand, did not I would not become a mistress for anyone, not even the alpha of the Everwood pack

"Look at round up to his My chest rose and fell as my breaths became labored and nervous

"Stand with your arms at your sides, Anna" When I hesitated he said, "Please"

There was so intertwined within me that couldn’t defy his orders While I hesitated, I couldn’t refuse My arms fell to my sides while we stared at each other His eyes broke contact within my body My wolf scratched and ed for his touch I shuddered against the feel of my inner beast’s anticipation There was no clear way to describe what it was like to have an ani possessed Like two souls were occupying the sahts than I did, and they caured out how to please her when she becaht with the alpha would be smart

"You don’t have to be afraid of ently as he closed the space between us with a single step

"I’m not," I lied It was as obvious as the moon in the sky I was absolutely terrified My voice shook as well as my body My heart jack hammered in my chest, and if I could see htened

"What did you think of Sawyer? Will he become your mate?

He wanted to talk about Sawyer? "I don’t need a er, he started at my collarbone and trailed it doard between , and it made me want to turn and run as far away from hione before the sun rose My wolf may be anxious to feel him inside her, but I wasn’t I didn’t want to be labeled as the alpha’s mistress--I was better than that

"Don’t you crave a man, Anna? You’ve been here three months and haven’t let one male experience your body," he paused "Or do you prefer women?"

"No"
