“We wouldn’t want that.” I was trying desperately to get my boner to go down but my member wasn’t ready to cooperate. It was still too busy enjoying the thought of Jane’s nectar.
“I’ll see you tonight, then?”
“Tonight,” I promised, “and I’ll be sure to bring the goods.”
She rolled her eyes and walked away. There was a slight limp to her gait. Her leg was still bothering her. I made a mental note to check on its progress later that evening to make sure that nothing was getting infected and, if it was, I would drag her to the hospital whether she wanted to or not.
Oh, humans. So fragile.
Maybe that’s why the wolves took up the task of protecting them — of bringing them into the pack — because honestly, some of them would never survive without us.

I managed to find myself a thrift store with pretty decent deals. I liked second-hand shops because I could tell what kind of person had worn each article and that made things easier. If a leather jacket smelled like asshole, I’d avoid it. But if something smelled trustworthy, it was thrown into my pile. I considered this little skill of mine a sixth sense. Landon considered it an act of insanity.
Hey, if he didn
’t like it, then he could buy his own damned clothes but despite all his complaining, I was still the one always on shopping duty.
“Have a great day, sir!” said the clerk, expecting me to leave.
“Actually, would you mind if I changed into some of this right now? As you can tell the clothes I have on right now have seen better days.”
“Uh… sure. You’ve already paid for them so I don’t see why not.”
“Thanks. I’ll only be a minute.” With that, I strolled into the dressing room and donned the dark-colored skinny jeans I had found at the bottom of a crusty box. Luckily for me, the pants themselves had avoided the crust. Next came a plain black v-neck tee. It was a little on the tighter side but I didn’t think that Jane would care all that much. I had seen the hunger painted all over her face whenever she considered our bodies. Even if she wanted to, she could not deny that she found us attractive.
Finally, I shrugged on a leather jacket. It was real leather too and just the perfect amount of worn, so that it looked nice and rugged. Looking myself in the mirror, I grinned, because I knew that Jane would never be able to resist me. Hell, maybe if I played my cards right, Landon and I could get lucky as early as tonight.
The thought brought my cock back to life and, as a result, it struggled against the fabric of my jeans. I shifted my nuts and walked out of the store feeling like a brand new man.
I was about to head back to the hotel, when a certain scent slammed into me like a wrecking ball. I froze. The hair on the back of my neck stood on edge and I could tell by the adrenaline pumping through my veins that my eyes were turning golden — the first sign of a shift.
On the opposite side of the street, two men entered an alley.
Could it be them? Members of the pack that had murdered mine?
Gunning on my instinct, I followed them at a distance but only after dousing myself with the cologne I had purchased at the thrift store. Hopefully, it would be enough to mask my wolf smell and make them think I was some clueless human trying to impress a lady.
They turned the corner and I lost sight of them. I jogged forward and peeked beyond the wall to see them entering the back of a building. It looked industrial. A warehouse maybe?
Knowing better than to follow them inside and get myself killed, I circled around hoping to gather up some intel. If this was truly the wolf pack we had been looking for all this time, then we had a serious threat on our hands. Just estimating here but there were over fifty different wolf scents littering the area. For us to take them down, it would take nothing short of a miracle but in order to avenge our people, it was just something that we needed to do. Otherwise, the need for revenge would only fester inside of us and force us to the brink of insanity.
Eventually, I came upon the main entrance. The sign read ‘Alpha Wolf Night Club.’
I scoffed.
Alpha wolf?
The lot of them were nothing more than cowards.
Also, could they get any less original?
I edged closer in order to read a flyer posted on the door.
‘Grand opening this Friday!’
“This Friday,” I repeated to myself. “We have got to be here.” And with that thought, I turned on my heels and got the hell out of there. The last thing I needed was to be found lurking around this place and get myself torn limb from limb. Ideally, I’d like to keep all my limbs for a very long time.
