Avery and Heartless Gideon: A Werewolf Romance

Why is this so hard? She’s not my mate! I growled in my throat and felt my hips twitch forward, seeking to claim, to let her feel every inch of me as I slid inside of her. Her lips had parted slightly, her breath coming in short pants as she breathed in my own scent,…

I fixed Gideon with a quelling stare that had no effect, “He’s already gone through enough. Please don’t punish him.” He raised an eyebrow at me, and I could see the hint of jealousy he was pushing to the side. “He needs to stop monopolizing your time regardless. I intend to tell him so.” “I…

Then froze as five razor sharp claws grabbed my throat. “If you just listen, you will live.” A low voice growled. I snarled and threw myself away, feeling the razor sharp scrape from that hand dig into my neck drawing blood. “Who the fuck are you?” I should have howled for backup, but my brain…

Madelyn and I had gotten more friendly over the week we’d worked together. She would catch me up on the gossip and I mostly just listened. I didn’t have any information to give in trade. I didn’t really socialize with anyone. We were working on starting flats of cucumbers and beans that would go in…

“I miss you.” He said plaintively. “Our last chat was, uh, interrupted.” Yeah.

I admit, I was morbidly curious what he had gotten up to after we’d parted in the woods, but I highly dou he’d tell me. So we rode in silence. “Avery.” His voice rumbled over the sound of the tires on the road. I glanced up at him. “Come here.” He patted the seat next…

“The future is just a….very long time.” I said after a minute. “If you’ve already got someone, then I want to find my someone as well. That’s all.” “No.” His flat response struck like a whipcrack. “…No?” “No.” He nodded curtly, “You are not leaving. You are marrying me as Luna. There is no other…

I wouldn’t allow myself to become his captive breeder! I pulled out a sheet of letter paper and began drafting a letter to my mother, “Mom, I’ve been thinking about what you said. Tradition alone is not a good enough reason for me to marry the Nightwolf Alpha. I want to find a mate who…

“Avery and I are half-siblings.” I pointed out, “We share the same blood.” “My bride must be capable of running the pack in the event of my absence.” I just tapped his chair, waiting for a real challenge. Who did he think had been running Silvermoon while Ryan had spent his time nursing six-packs of…
