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.”
