bumpkin was completely gone. Instead he had been replaced by an arrogant, hulk of a man. There was no shyness, no fear and no modesty behind his eyes. Everything he had done this morning had been an act; he was hiding who he really was.
    “I don’t know what you mean,” he said with a sly smile.
    “I mean you’re obviously not what you have portrayed yourself to be,” she said. “You acted shy this morning, now you’re about to blow my trailer up with confidence.”
    “I was unaware confidence could explode,” he said as he chuckled.
    “Dammit give me some answers!” Paige screamed.
    Travis glanced up at her, a look of amusement on his face. “Do you always yell when you don’t get your way? That’s not a good look.”
    Paige was seething now; no man had ever challenged her like this before. Why was he so cocky all of a sudden? She obviously wasn’t going to get anywhere with threats.
    “I am sorry for yelling,” she said. “I just want to know who you are and what your deal is. You aren’t this shy guy from Bowshot, you’re something different. You eat raw food, you’re the size of a tank, you growl when you’re angry and you apparently have mind control powers over dogs!”
    Travis laughed again, driving Paige even crazier. “I assure you I have no mind control powers. The dogs just recognized an alpha male and reacted to my lead. Canines are pack animals; no matter how much you try to domesticate them they will always seek that pack out. Oftentimes they will gravitate to the alpha male in the pack.”
    “Is this some kind of dating bullshit? You think you’re some kind of pickup artist that’s out to fetch his next conquest by being an alpha male?” Paige had heard of plenty of guys like that, she’d even caught Randy reading a website about being an alpha male once. They wanted guys to be overbearing douchebags, she was not impressed. Paige did love a man with confidence, but not one that was going to treat her like shit.
    “I have never been on a date in my life,” Travis said, still smiling. “I assure you of that fact.”
    He was obviously enjoying keeping this from her, seeing how far he could push her buttons. If she wasn’t so damn curious she would’ve enjoyed the challenge he presented. “Please just tell me who you are.”
    “My name is Travis Bowshot,” he said, standing up and growing very serious. “I’m a member of the Bowshot pack. We have lived in this land for over 30 years, peacefully. The land we live on is rich in oil and it was given to us by the Comanche that used to occupy the area. My former alpha male helped them defeat a nasty vampire that was trying to take the land for his own greedy purposes.”
    A vampire? Paige thought. Oh boy, he’s insane. She decided to let him finish-he might grow angry if she cut off his inane, rambling story.
    “Unfortunately it appears a vampire,” he started to say.
    “The vampire you defeated?” Paige asked, trying to play along.
    “No my alpha killed him,” Travis said. “It’s probably a member of his brood, or just another greedy vampire that learned about the oil on the land.”
    “So vampires are greedy?” Paige asked. She was kind of enjoying his story; it would make a good book or TV show.
    “Vampires are very greedy,” he said. “They control most of the world’s wealth.”
    “I see,” she said. “So they’re the racist stereotype of a Jewish man?”
    Travis stared at her blankly, not getting the joke.
    “Continue,” she said with a heavy sigh.
    “A vampire, along with a pack of wererats, attacked Bowshot while I was hunting the other night. I did not make it back in time, although I probably would have been slaughtered as well.”
    “Wererats?” she asked.
    “Yes nasty creatures. They like to pack up, turning their den to complete filth. They usually huddle together in one house. They’re easily bought and vampires like to use them to do their dirty work.”
    “Vampires are greedy and wererats
