Tyler’s POVYou know, growing up in the south you hear a lot of crazy shit, but this takes the cake. I stared at Connelly’s giant canine teeth and cringed, “You are joking, right?” They all three exchanged glances and Dalton cleared his throat, “No, we aren’t jokin’, unfortunately. I am the wolf you saw in the woods. You are on my pack territory.” He leaned back in his seat and pressed his palms to his knees. He was nervous, I could feel it. He thought I was going to run away. I should be running away like my damn hair was on fire, but I couldn’t. I kept feeling myself being called to him. I don’t know what this all meant, but I was going to continue to ask questions. I was nosey by nature which is probably one of the main reasons I pursued this career field. Look where it landed me, in a straight up shit show. I shook my head at the thought and I started giggling out loud. The three men looked at me like I was growing a second head because I was obviously losing my sanity over this w
Alpha Dalton’s POVI watched her walk away and I felt like I had been stabbed right in the chest. What if she runs from this town? What if she doesn’t want this life? I don’t know if she is my mate, but I do know I felt a connection with her that I have never felt with anyone before. She was absolutely amazing in every single way. She had a smart mouth, a body that looks like she could take on a tank, and a mind that I wanted to explore. “She’ll be back, brother. She can’t stay out there knowing what she knows now.” Nicklaus clapped his hand on my shoulder and turned to walk away but before he did I let out a shaky sigh, “What if she runs and never looks back? I should have never told her what I was. Not until I knew she was mine.” He turned back around and smiled, “She won’t run, Dalton. Give it some time. She is probably all sorts of fucked up after what she saw and what she sat there and listened to.” He turned on his heel and walked up the stairs and disappeared into the hallway.
Alpha Dalton’s POVHoly shit. She text me. I sat straight up and stared at the text message until my eyes started to water from not blinking. I have to play this cool but not too cool. I don’t want her to think I’m a dick, but I also don’t want her to think I’m a creep. I quickly typed and read what I wanted to send. I immediately back spaced. I sounded like a stage five clinger. I typed again and as I read out loud what I said I realized something that had completely went over my head. I didn’t have her gun. When I picked her up off the ground I didn’t hear anything fall out and I remember her being frantic about where her gun was. I wonder if she dropped it when she was at the scene. She had to have because I definitely don’t have it. I mind-linked both Connelly and Nick, “Did you guys happen to pick up Tyler’s gun or anything?” I waited about two minutes before I closed the link. I assume both of them are passed out right about now. I should be sleeping too, but now my mind was sear
Tyler’s POV It was going into the night and I still hadn’t heard a word back from Dalton about my gun. He had to have found it by now if it was there. I’m not going to worry about it too much, but I just think it’s odd that it would go missing when I fell asleep in some creepy ass woods. My mind is still completely blown from what I was told. Werewolves and Vampires exist. What else is out there? Fucking unicorns? I would have to ask Dalton about that because if unicorns are real then at this point I’m just living in a fucked up reality. I decided earlier that I would google some stuff about werewolves and how they came to be, but all I came across was a bunch of fanfic stuff and no real answers. My mind kept flitting back to Dalton and all I could think about was how I felt like I had known him forever. I felt like my soul knew his and that really had me reeling. He made me feel things that I have never felt before just by looking at him and that, in itself, was weir
Tyler’s POV“Wait! Y’all need to stop. Emery put down the damn gun!” I am standing between Emery and Dalton with each of my arms extended out towards them like they wouldn’t go through me to get to each other. It’s dumb, but if it keeps them from killing each other then I am willing to sacrifice myself. “Emery? This is the name you kept saying the other night when I-,” Dalton stopped and looked down at me, “is he your boyfriend?” I put my hands down and stepped back from him, “Hell no!” Emery and I said in unison. Dalton straightened up and looked at Emery with his eyebrow arched, “Then why is he here?” Emery chuckled and lifted his shirt to holster his gun, “She is my partner at work and we are also like brother and sister. That is disgusting for you to even ask.” Emery faked gagged and looked at me. Of course he would be doing that in a completely serious moment. I sighed and scrubbed my hand over my face and looked at Dalton, “Dalton, He’s my best friend. My brother. Not
Alpha Dalton’s POVThe sensations I was feeling and the feel of my hand on her soft warm cheek was enough to drive my wolf to the front of my mind. Knox was all over the place and begging me to take her in that moment. I could smell her arousal and it did not help the fact that I couldn’t make love to her until the full moon. I had to make sure she was my True Mate. But even if she wasn’t, I needed to have her any way I could get her. I leaned my lips close to her ear, “Say you want me, Tyler.” Her large emerald eyes searched mine and I could sense the restraint coming off of her. She licked her bottom lip and her chest was rising and falling so fast that I was worried she might start hyperventilating, “We have known each other for a day, Dalton. But my soul knows you. I can’t doubt that I feel something that is beyond what I have felt for anyone else, but I don’t know who you are or if I should trust you.” She continued to breath heavily and place her hand on my chest trying to put di
Tyler’s POVI stood in silence staring at my front door in nothing but my shirt. I know he had to go and it was urgent, but why did he have to go when we were about to have a true conversation. Why did I have to be falling for a man I didn’t even know? It hadn’t even been 24 hours since I met him. I went over and grabbed my sweatpants and panties off the ground beside the couch and slipped them on. I sat down and started chewing my thumb nail because my nerves were so far gone I couldn’t handle it. I picked up my phone and checked the time. 11:00 P.M. on the dot. He had left five minutes ago and it felt like an eternity since he had been here. I’m being super dramatic, but he should have let me come with him. I wanted to know about the body and who it was and I also wanted to know about the first body. I wanted to know if someone from his pack did it or if someone I knew did it. He said when I first met him that people that I possibly knew were trying to go after him and hi
Tyler’s POVI was getting my uniform on and staring at myself in the mirror. I noticed the dark circles that had formed and realized I had not slept at all since I met Dalton. That phone call I received was heavy on my mind. They wanted me to cut all ties with him or they would go after my family. Emery, my parents, and my siblings. I knew what I had to do. I had to let him go but fuck, I didn’t want to. If it put my family in harms way though, I had to cut all contact with him. I couldn’t have my family being threatened or killed because I had strong feelings for a man I just met. Well, not necessarily a man, but you catch my drift. I also felt sick to my stomach every time I thought about telling Dalton that we couldn’t see each other again. It should be simple to tell a guy you hardly know that it’s over. Right? Wrong. To me it felt like when my dog little-man died my 7th grade year. Like a kick to the fucking gut. Why would someone want me away from him? I started
