The Real Italian Alphas by Bonnie Burrows Read Free Book Online

the worst she’d ever spent, fearful that at any moment one of those werewolves out there would forget that she was off limits and come crashing through the window to devour her. Her fingers clenched tighter around the trigger of the gun, just thinking about it.
    She must have drifted off, because the next thing she knew she felt the bed dip beside her. Thinking it was Gabriel, she smiled as her eyes began to open. She was alarmed when she realized she had a werewolf sitting there gazing down at her instead. But which werewolf? Was it Gabriel, or some hungry fiend ready to devour her?
    Her thumb slid toward the safety button on the pistol, flipping it off as she took careful aim. Her hand began to tremble as her finger hovered over the trigger, but stopped when the beast bared its teeth in a big grin. “How’s this for a smile, Betsy?”
    “Gabriel, you jerk, you scared the hell out of me.” she grumbled. “I could have killed you. Why are you in here like— that —anyway? I thought you didn’t want me to see you like this.”
    “I’m sorry,” he said in a growling voice. “I know that you’re still mad at me, Betsy, but I just couldn’t stay away. Not when I don’t even know if you want me anymore. You feel things so much more strongly in this form, ma bella . The thought of losing your love is tearing at my soul.”
    “I don’t even know if you have a soul anymore, Gabriel.” she said, and he pulled her into his arms and laid her on his hairy, barrel-shaped chest. She buried her face against the fur and began to cry again.
    “I’m still—me,” he tried to explain. “I haven’t lost any of myself, just gained a few powers. I’m still a man, and I still have feelings. I can still love.”
    “But can you still—“she began, about to ask about his ability to procreate but becoming embarrassed. They hadn’t ever discussed having children. Then again, they had never discussed preventing them, either. Was the lack of concern due to knowing they would not conceive, or simply that he didn’t mind if they did? Either way, that decision should have been mutual, and Betsy was stupid for never having thought on it before this.
    “Can I still—what?” Gabriel chuckled, knowing fully well what she was thinking about.
    “I’ve always wanted to have kids someday.” she whispered. She glanced up and saw that he’d transformed back to his human form, and saw the sun beginning to rise outside the window.
    “We can have them.” he told her softly. “And they won’t be deformed or hideous or anything. They might gain some of my powers, but those traits would not appear until they were mature. So, are you telling me that’s what you want, Betsy?”
    “I—“ she began, blushing again. “I don’t know. I just want to know if it’s possible.”
    “Anything is possible, mi amore ,” he told her then. “We could marry, have a family, live our whole life together, all of it.”
    “And then what?” she wanted to know. “I would have to die, or let you bite me too, so we could be together forever. How very romantic, except that I hate rare meat.”
    Gabriel chuckled, and pinned her underneath him as he explored her mouth with his. “You get used to it.” he said with a grin.
    “So if you get me pregnant, I won’t have a litter of puppies?” she clarified as she wrapped her legs around his, having come to the realization that he must have been unclothed while he was out running with the wolves.
    “I’m not sure,” he told her with a grin. “You seem to make me horny an awful lot. You might very well get them two or three at a time if you don’t stop enticing me so much.”
    “Oh, ha ha,” Betsy grumbled as she smacked him on the ass. “Is that supposed to be an invitation to have your children, or were you actually planning on the rest of what you said along with it?”
    Gabriel chuckled. “Are you proposing a merger?” he asked, thrusting his now rock-hard cock against her for added
