The Alpha's Mate: by E A Price Read Free Book Online Page A

gripped himself tightly and with a hollow groan his seed spilled out into the shower, washed down by the swirling water. 
    He leaned his forehead against the cold tiles and shut the water off.  His wolf howled in his mind and paced restlessly.
    He worried about her.   He didn’t like her staying here, it wasn’t safe.  He should have slung her over his shoulder and dragged her back to his house.  Caveman style.  He wondered if she would have enjoyed that.  He felt his arousal start to twitch and tried to get the image out of his mind.
    Adam smiled remembering her witty nature, despite trying, he hadn’t been able to restrain himself from teasing her.  She really did bring out his wicked side.
    His wolf was prowling his mind, snarling at him to go and claim his mate.  Take her, force her to be submissive... if only it was that easy.
    He’d never imagined that finding his mate would fill him with su ch anguish.  He’d assumed that if he ever found her the two of them would just fall into bed... for a few weeks.  Of course he had always assumed that his mate would be a she-wolf, who would understand the significance of finding your true mate.  Not a human who just wanted to bust his balls.
    He grinned just thinking about the look on Rosalee’s face when he had dropped his towel and given her an eyeful.  She had practically licked her lips.
    The images flooded through his mind again and his half mast became rock hard.  He sighed and switched the shower back on.  It was going to be a long night...

Chapter Six
    28 th September
    Ros alee awoke to the sounds of banging.  God didn’t anyone in this town just want to have a lie in?
    She curled into a ball and pulled the covers over her head.  Five more minutes...
    Loud voices outside intermingled with the banging.  What were they doing?   One of the loud voices was a little too familiar...
    Reluctantly she hauled herself out of bed, throwing on a robe she trudged downstairs to see what the fuss was about.  She found Adam and an older man in his forties fixing a new door to her house.
    They were laughing but stopped abruptly when they saw her.  Adam smiled at her, his cheeks dimpling.  “Morning Rose, this is Jase, we’re fixing up your door.”
    “Yes I gathered that much...”
    “And we’ve put some better locks on your windows and changed the lock on the back door.”
    The other shifter gave her a crooked and curious smile.  “Nice to meet you Rose.”
    He was a good six inches shorter than Adam and a hell of a lot skinnier, but didn’t seem to have any trouble holding the massive wooden door while Adam guided it into place.
    “You too, thanks for this.”
    “Don’t thank me, Adam here is paying for it.”
    “Well he is the one who destroyed the door...”
    Adam took a deep breath and stopped himself from retorting.  He had resolved that the best way to woo his mate might be to hold his tongue whenever she tried to goad him.  “Which is why I‘m only too happy to replace it.”
    She harrumphed and folded her arms, making her breasts lift and jut out.  She was wearing a shorts and vest pajama set, she had a robe on but she had not bothered to tie it so he could see everything.  He almost started drooling as he saw her nipples harden underneath the thin fabric.
    Thank g od he had insisted Jase himself come out to help.  Jase had been happily mated to a human for twenty years and had four children, all coyotes like himself.  Jase had wanted to send one of his apprentices but he was glad he didn’t, he might not have been able to cope with an unmated male looking at her.
    Adam had offered to pay Jase double to get out here and get everything done that morning.  Jase was curious as to why Adam was willing to do that but certainly hadn’t the nerve to ask him.
    He forced himself to look away and concentrate on the door.  “Liv’s in the kitchen.”
    “Umm thanks, either of you guys want a drink or something?
    Jase politely declined
