Chapter One

The first ti hie Hunter’s coht, fucking hot! Even though they’d said he would be well-built and good-looking, Evan was still surprised at his size and muscles, and so damned turned on he hadn’t really slept well since This as nothing like he’d iined

The e, at least six feet four, with an ae, ripped body Evan had never seen anyone like hiy hair fell over his face, al his eyes, but as they passed hiaze to sweep over him, and it felt like a red hot poker had been passed over his body The wolf’s eyes were an incredible shade of ereen, an unusual color for a wolf, from what he understood Wolves were usually darkhaired with dark brown, allitter at hi down across his brow, and his lips—good God, his lips They were lush and full and sinful, and when he glanced over at Evan, he could have sworn the corners turned up in alittle smile

Now as Evan sat across fro officer, he tried his best to concentrate on what theabout the wolf shifter The offer he’dhis mind around it “You’re perfect for our require you a chance to literally strike at the heart of these wolf creatures How can you even think of refusing?”

“Well, let’s seefroht be a consideration ”

The ave Evan Grant a hard stare Quite obviously, he wasn’t too amused by Evan’s flippant attitude “They don’t kill their sexual partners, Grant They dominate them You’d actually like that, wouldn’t you? Isn’t that what you enjoy sexually? Our investigations discovered you were in a relationship like that for over a year We understand you’re gay ”

Evan’s flush was almost painful He had always tried to keep his sexual orientation private, let alone the bit of kink he enjoyed in his private life Living in the Bible Belt south, with very conservative parents and family, he had never chosen to make his sex life publicly known in any way He’d only just begun to recover from the break-up of the very serious relationship the major referred to so casually There was no one special in his life at the , anonymous clubs in places like Atlanta and Charlotte since Eric left, and he’d done a few chats online, but he had no idea anyone had been watching hi on him Damn! He still had no idea how the leadership had found out His cheeks burned at the idea

He shifted uncoaze defiantly “I could point out that you apparently have a strange idea about what being gay means No, sir, I do not live any kind of BDSM lifestyle I suppose it’s beside the point to protest this intolerable intrusion into my private life ”

The aze “You applied to be a Hunter, Grant You didn’t think we’d be interested in every facet of your life? It may not be politically correct, but it’s no secret our leader, Elias Winters, doesn’t exactly have a warays, especially after what happened with his son, Logan Look, our operation is top secret here We need to know everything about everyone who’s a anization ”

“And if I refuse this so-called offer of yours?”

The ed “Then you refuse You’re only the first ofWe’ve found these creatures to be insatiable, and our plans are to stud out this wolf-shifter to our other volunteers once he finishes with you Thesubjects we can have, the better For our doctor’s experiments, that is ”

When Evan still sat nervously biting the inside of his cheek, the major continued “Up until noe’ve only tried the wolf bites, using soues with, shall we say, mixed success Look, if you don’t want to be involved, say so, though if you were really serious about joining one of the couarantee you a spot if you conment ”

“Really Despite the fact that I’ay?”

“I said Winters has a problem with homosexuals, but that doesn’t ainst the wolves And Winters doesn’t interfere with decisions I make about the men I choose for combat ”

“What exactly would I have to do again? Explain it to me one more time, because I’m a little freaked out here ”
