mood changing. It took me a minute to figure out what he was feeling with all the sensations I was experiencing. He was pissed.
Why the hell was he pissed?
“Is this what you wanted?” he taunted, picking up the pace.
“Yes,” I moaned, meeting him thrust for thrust.
“Hope it’s what you really wanted because there’s no going back now.”
I didn’t put together what that meant, enjoying the sex too much to think. He bit me roughly on my shoulder and I screamed out his name as I shot my load all over his bedspread. Then he came as well, filling me with his seed. When we were spent he turned us in time so he didn’t collapse on me, removing his teeth from my skin. But he didn’t lick the wound. I thought that was odd.
“You tricked me,” he panted as he pulled out of me and pushed me away.
“What?” I gasped, turning so I could see him. “How did I do that exactly?”
“The trial period’s over now. You seduced me to get what you want and now I’ve got to go tell Bay and Harkin that we have to keep you.” He rolled out of bed and cleaned himself up with his shirt. “That was wrong and you know it, Wes.”
“I seduced one of the inner circle who signed my contract,” I growled, getting up as well and finding my clothes. “I did nothing wrong, Levey. But thanks for ruining our first time together.”
“Why, Wes? Why would you trick me like this?” I glanced at him in shock, feeling the hurt that was coming off of him.
“Oh fuck you. You’re a grown man who knew exactly what he was doing. You wanted me.” I saw my words weren’t having any effect on him and threw my arms in the air. “You’re fucking kidding me. Great, this is just fucking great.”
I stormed out of his room, ignoring when he called me to come back. I headed towards the back of the house. That way no one could see me since the front faced the lake and cabins, even if a big portion of it was blocked by the barn. The moment the back door was open I shifted and took off. I was probably going to get in more trouble for this but I could give a shit about that right then.
They could all kiss my ass. One minute they were so excited to have me because I helped their beloved lake, but then we had sex and I was the bad guy? And what was so damn wrong with ending the trial period? It was put into place to protect me ! I knew what I wanted and they had agreed to wanting me the moment they signed that contract.
Fuck. Them. That’s all I kept thinking as I ran.
But about ten minutes into my run something else distracted me. I smelled real wolves. I headed in that direction, curious, and caught a few other scents. One of which was death and then I heard crying. I picked up the pace, scared that humans had stumbled across natural, wild wolves and had gotten hurt.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I checked out the scene from the tree line, ready to bolt if it was dangerous for me. I saw there was a small service road and the crying was coming from right next to it. Creeping closer, I wanted to sob at what I found. Two wolf pups were whimpering and crying as they pushed against their mother… Who was clearly dead.
It looked as if she’d been hit by a vehicle and either the pups had been with her or found her afterwards. But one look at her and I knew there was no way that she was alive. I also couldn’t hear her heartbeat and she reeked of death. I wasn’t sure what to do but I couldn’t just leave the pups there!
I glanced around and made sure we were alone before trotting over there. They turned and gave me growls that told me they were more scared than anything. I got down low and crept forward, letting them see that I meant them no harm. It wasn’t any use. They could smell I wasn’t a wolf like them, probably still smelling human to them as well. They pushed against their mother even more, yelping as if they knew I was going to eat them.
There was nothing I could do for the mother and the pups were too young to be
