Free Hagen, Lynn - Murphy's Madness [Brac Pack 15] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) by Lynn Hagen

halfway across the country, he wouldn’t have to worry about their asses anymore.
    Murphy opened the bedroom door and jogged down the stairs, heading straight for the front door. He’d walk back to town. Darkness didn’t scare him, just the people who lurked in it. How had Cindernightmare found him? That was the scariest thought in his mind when he considered walking home. As angry as he was, he’d drop her crazy ass in a ditch if she tried anything tonight. Just try him, just try him, damn it, and he would go buck wild on her psychotic ass.
    “Where are you going?”
    Murphy gulped. Maverick. The one person he never wanted to run into again. That voice took all the steam out of his mental tirade.
    “Home.” Murphy kept walking. He may not be brave enough to give the large man a piece of his mind, but no one was stopping him from leaving. Not even the man that looked like a biker from hell.
    “Let Ludo take you.”
    Murphy waved a finger as he kept going. “I don’t think so. He thinks I imagined her.”
    “Did you?” Maverick asked.
    Murphy could feel his temper rising. He should have kept his big mouth shut and never told Ludo about her. Look where the hell it got him. Murphy waved a dismissive hand at Maverick and opened the front door. He didn’t have to answer to anybody. He didn’t break any laws, so they couldn’t stop him. Murphy took a step outside and stopped in his tracks.
    Ludo was standing on the other side.
    “Crap, I really don’t need your shit right now, Ludo.” Murphy pushed past the man, wanting to curl into his arms instead of walking down the gravel drive and away from the one man that seemed to want to keep him. He brushed that thought aside and took the first step away from the wolf. He could do this, no problem whatsoever. Ludo didn’t have a hold on him.
    “I can give you a ride.”
    Murphy spun around and pointed an angry finger at the wolf. “Oh, you have done that already. I bet you want to stuff me in that truck of yours and give me a ride straight to the funny farm, not happening, buster.” Murphy turned back around and stormed off.
    Ludo jogged to his side, keeping up with him. “You can’t just walk home from here.”
    “You see these shoes?” Murphy pointed down to his sneakers. “They’re moving me further and further away from that loony bin you call a home. Watch my ass shake from side to side as it slowly disappears from your sight. You got some crazy booty. So go brag about it to your family and leave me the hell alone.” Murphy walked along, listening to the gravel crunch under his feet as he thought of the most erotic man to enter his life. To hell with him, Ludo wasn’t worth admitting he was crazy when he wasn’t.
    No dick was that good.
    “I’ll walk with you.” Ludo came up next to him, walking right beside him.
    “Look, it was fun, mind-blowing, and heart-stopping. The ride is over. I’ve put my pants on backwards and strolled out of your front door to meet my next adventure.” Murphy turned and sneered at Ludo as he jabbed his finger into that solid ass chest. “And you aren’t a part of it. Go seduce someone else and then rip their heart out. I’d rather have the homeless man.”
    “You think our mating wasn’t real?” Ludo pulled on Murphy’s forearm to stop him.
    Murphy yanked free. “About as real as you think Maribel is. I think you had a good time biting the shit out of me, now go.” Murphy’s heart was hurting, but he wouldn’t allow it to rule how he handled this situation. He was done being everyone’s victim. They could all kiss his pale ass.
    Murphy held his hand up in front of Ludo’s face, stopping him before anything else left his lips. “I’m done. It’s been fun. Now go the fuck away.” Murphy turned on his heels and walked quickly to the paved road.
    “I’m not letting you walk home, at least not alone.” Ludo stubbornly walked beside him.
    Murphy ignored him. If he looked over at his dark and lovely wolf, he
