hurried back into the restaurant. Why did she get the feeling
that she was being watched?

CHAPTER
FIFTEEN

    Rose was wiping down the
counter when Nan walked out of the kitchen and stretched.
    “All done,” Nan
announced. “Dinner's ready. Where's Jack?”
    “He went to get the
wine.”
    “Oh, I thought he'd be
back by now. Ah, I think I'll go wait for him out front. I've been
in the kitchen the whole day. Some fresh air will do me good.”
    “I'll come with you,”
Rose said, unconsciously reaching for her shotgun.
    “I may be old, but I'm
not infirm,” Nan chided. “I'll just take a stroll in
front of the restaurant and stretch my legs.”
    With that, Nan yanked the
door open and sauntered out.
    The musical tinkle of the
door chime echoed round the empty restaurant. Rose threw down the
rag and picked up the gun.
    She just had a niggling
feeling that danger was lurking somewhere around the shadows outside.
The hairs on her neck were standing on end and she felt increasingly
uneasy and anxious.
    Rose scrambled out the door
and skidded to a stop at the front step.
    “Nan!”
    She raised her gun and
pointed it at the man who was holding Nan by the throat.
    “Let her go!”
Rose yelled. “You, it's you again!”
    It was the same yellow-eyed
wolf who had harassed her in the restaurant the day before.
    “Let my Nan go,”
Rose said, taking a step forward.
    The wolf shifter ignored Rose
and whistled over his shoulder. Rose's heart hammered wildly as she
watched the shadows move behind him.
    Three men stepped forward and
came towards Rose.
    “It's her, Lucien,”
the wolf said, nodding at the tallest of the three men.
    Lucien smiled. “Well
done, Trenton. You did good.”
    “I smelled your blood
in her, Lucien,” Trenton replied with a smirk. “Her
scent was unmistakable.”
    Rose gripped her gun tighter
as Lucien kept walking towards her. “Step back!” she
yelled.
    Lucien stopped and arched a
thick brow. He was taller and leaner than the other three wolves.
Rose knew that all the four men in front of her were wolf shifters.
Their glowing yellow eyes were locked on her, and Rose ground her
teeth in defiance.
    They might think they had
their prey cornered, but she was nobody's prey.
    Lucien sniffed the air
repeatedly and smiled at Rose. “You do indeed have my blood in
you. I don't know which bitch gave birth to you. I fucked so many
of them. But—the cunt was human.” Lucien's face twisted
in disgust. “You're only half wolf. What's your name, girl?”
    “None of your fucking
business,” Rose spat.
    “Her name is Rose,”
Trenton offered helpfully. He swore viciously when Nan kicked him in
the nuts. Trenton gripped Nan tighter around the neck and shook her.
    “Let her go! Don't
touch her,” Rose screamed at Trenton. “I will kill you!”
    Lucien looked amused and
impressed at Rose's outburst. “Wow. My girl has fight,”
he laughed.
    “I am not your girl!”
    “But you are,”
Lucien said. The smile was still on his face but Rose saw how cruel
and cunning his eyes were. She shuddered and backed away.
    No.
    No. He couldn't be.
    “No, you're not,”
Rose said in a strangled voice. She shook her head. “You're
not...”
    Lucien spread his arms wide.
“I am your father, Rose.” He moved his eyes down her
body, and rubbed his chin slowly. “I think I know who your
mother is. A delicious, horny human with flaming red hair and the
juiciest, most succulent tits and ass. Her pussy...” He
shrugged. “I can't remember what her pussy was like. Pussies
all taste the same.”
    “Shut up! Don't talk
about my mother like that!” Rose shrieked. “You just
shut your filthy mouth!”
    Lucien's smile vanished. He
jerked his head and his minions stepped forward.
    “You'll come with me
now,” he said to Rose in a hard voice.
    “I'm not going anywhere
with you!”
    Lucien grabbed the barrel of
her gun and tried to pull her forward, but Rose resisted. “I
am the Alpha of the Westclaw Wolves. You are the
