Enjoy the following excerpt for Claiming the She-Wolf:
A growl from low in his throat
threatened to escape. The rumble started in his chest, and he fought to keep it
down.
She turned, looking down at him.
“Did you say something?”
“Umm, no. Just clearing my throat.”
He needed to get his base instincts
under control. Recent research showed that wolves in the wild killed in order
to protect their domains and to get more space. He didn’t want to be ruled by
his wolf. He’d grown up in the city, with humans, not out in the forest. His
mom had tried to talk to him about shifting, but as a woman, she didn’t have
the same experience.
He couldn’t go to a shifters
anonymous group for help with his sexual urges. Maybe he needed to start his
own support group. He snorted at the idea. At the top of the landing, Tala
turned to the right, and he followed.
They entered what had to be the
master bedroom suite. It was painted a vibrant lavender color, and the bed had
a green floral comforter with an abundance of fluffy throw pillows. White
dollies rested on the two nightstands, and a vase of wildflowers called for
attention. The feminine room seemed in sharp contrast to his host. She didn’t
look frilly.
“This will be your quarters.” Her
lips pursed, and she blinked a few times.
The idea shocked him. “What? I’m
sorry, but it looks like your room.”
“Well, it has been. But it’s the
nicest room in the house, and as a guest, figure you should have it to be
comfortable. I’ll move my things into another one.”
He waved his hands in front of him,
as if shooing away something physically bad. “No way. No can do. Give me the
second best, then. My first job can be fixing it up.”
She smiled. “Well, second best
would be my brother’s room, and even though he’s on a trip right now, I don’t
feel comfortable moving his stuff. So third best, and we work today to make it
more, um, livable?”
Her choice of words made him pause.
“Deal.”
