Free Conquering Theana by LeTeisha Newton, Lillian MacKenzie Rhine

about that right now. Many of these things will be planned out later. I’m
sure she will want to design things on her own. Right now, I want you to
contact Camden for an update. I’m sure he will appreciate the call."
    Rafael
grinned at the irritation oozing from Gregori.
    "I’m
going to take a walk around the lake to clear my mind," Rafael said.
    "You
want me to come?" Gregori asked.
    "No,
you check in with Camden and have the guys start on
the transition with your wing. I just need some fresh air to think. Shifting
earlier made me want to get out."
    Gregori
nodded, then left the room.
    Rafael
was having a hard time being in his bedroom without her being there. Naked and waiting. Not taking time to change out of the
remainder of his suit, Rafael walked out of the French doors to his deck. He
removed his tie and draped it over the banister of the wooden planked deck.
After he descended the stairs, he took off at full speed. His paws hit the
fresh dirt, amber fur fluttering in the wind, tail waving through the air
elongated and tall. He took the long way to the lake by going around the
athletic complex. Rafael wanted to avoid the Dolphus house at all costs. Being in wolf form, he wouldn’t be able to resist storming
into the home and taking her where she stood. With the strength of his legs and
his larger than average size, he made it to Lake Eros within seconds.
    The
coolness of the lake bled into the climate of the surrounding brush and trees.
 He panted as the breeze touched his elongated tongue. The taste of the
night air was the best. After stretching his hind legs, he caught a distinct
scent in the air. Something sweet to his senses. Rafael trotted around the perimeter of the lake when he caught sight of her
scrambling to escape from her midnight dip in Eros. She was breathtaking, her
jet black fur glistening in the moonlight. The most exquisite wolf he had ever
seen. Theana was definitely larger than most females,
but nothing in comparison to his size. He could cloak her body with his. The
thought of her lying under him made him whimper for her.
    He
watched her jump to the muddy bank, shaking the droplets of cool water from her
pelt. Rafael approached her, coming muzzle to muzzle.  His nostrils flared
as he inhaled more of her intoxicating aroma fresh from the lake. Caught in the
moment, Rafael didn’t notice that her relaxed tail had become erect and her
shining canines confronted his face. Her growl would be fierce to any other,
but to him, it was turning him on. It was building the fire in his internal
pit. Growl at me , he whispered to her wolf.
    Her
nostrils flared, and the skin around her teeth wrinkled as clear saliva dripped
from her mouth. Theana's anger was to be expected,
but soon he tired of the display. Hunching his shoulders up, he exposed his
teeth to her, giving a loud growl that made her step back a foot or two. She
would submit to him. Her growl lessened, but her tail remained vexed, ready to
attack even if she lost. Rafael admired her fight. She was strong, and only his
mate would be able to challenge him and not die under his bite. He pushed
closer, rumbling a growl from the bottom of his core.
    Theana dropped her tail and ran off into the wooded area near the lake,
whimpering. He wasn’t worried. She wouldn’t go too far. Her mate was there, and
her wolf wouldn’t be able to resist him. He did sympathize with her confusion,
so he didn’t want to force too much of himself on her. He found her behind a
thicket of trees, panting and whimpering. Her glowing eyes showed her fright.
He didn’t want to scare her, but he had to show her that he wasn’t to be
disrespected.
    Rafael
lifted his paw to her and huffed. He closed the gap between the two. He shot a
breath of hot air from his nostrils, then lowered his
head so she could see the warmth behind his eyes. He was going to touch her,
and he didn’t want her to flee. Slowly he approached. Her eyes were like
beacons in the night.
    He
began to
