Free Accidentally Yours (Coyote Bluff Series Book 1) by Lea Barrymire Page A

she wasn’t their mate. Yet. There wasn’t anything he could do about it right at the moment. He was stuck in wolf form for another few hours and , until he could shift and take control of his wolf again, they’d have to agree to disagree.
    He wandered down the stairs, unsure he could handle seeing her naked again without acting very badly for a wolf. He took the opportunity to sniff around her other rooms. He wasn’t searching for the scent of her boyfriend, nope, wasn’t doing that at all. What surprised him was the total lack of any other scents. The vet’s smell was in the kitchen and the laundry room from the night before, but the rest of the house was clean. She either didn’t invite people into her home, or she didn’t have anyone to invite. He listened to her move around above him. He envisioned her dressing, covering that beautiful body with clothes. It didn’t take long for her to come clomping down the stairs. She looked around until she found him, then she smiled. God, he wanted that smile gracing her lips when he was in human form.
    “I’m glad you made it down the stairs okay. Want to go out for a minute? Hmm? Then I’ll make breakfast.” She turned to wander toward the front door. She stopped and waited, grinning while he followed her. “You’re moving much better this morning. I’m really glad you’re okay. I was worried.
    He waited for her to open the door and then rushed out, muzzle in the air, sniffing for danger. He couldn’t have her outside if there was something wrong. When there wasn’t a single smell out of place it eased his mind. He kept waiting for the coyotes to track him to her house, but perhaps they would stay away because she was human. Although if they weren’t drunk maybe they would see the stupidity in attacking him.
    As quickly as he could , he headed into the woods behind her house. He needed to relieve himself and get his head in the game. As he wandered silently through the trees he thought about how stupid he’d been. He’d paid for his mistake by being kicked out of his pack. The price for a single night of sex with the wrong female had been steep, but he’d known the consequences if someone found out. Of course, he hadn’t thought about her using him against the Alpha.
    The Alpha’s mate had seduced him, plied him with beer and naked breasts. Yes, he’d given in and fucked her. It hadn’t been nice, soft or romantic. They’d tripped over each other, pawing at clothes and stripping off only the important clothing for a quick coupling. He’d taken her in the bar’s bathroom, against the wall. When they were done she’d pulled her pants back on, patted him on the cheek and strutted out the door.
    It had only taken two days for the Alpha’s visit. Two days of waiting, knowing that he had made one of the worst mistakes of his life. Being banished was supposed to be the end of the punishment. He should have known that pack members would follow his progress across the country and share his little misdeed with any shifters within driving distance of his new home. He’d felt like the harassment was acceptable, even if it was over the top. But to attempt to kill him was beyond the law. Yes, he’d fucked the pack’s Alpha-mate. It was the first time he’d ever lain with a mated female though, and he definitely wouldn’t be doing it again.
    His thoughts came full circle and he worried once again about Cammie and her involvement with him. If he was targeted by the regional pack she was in danger. Perhaps it was time he stepped up and met with the Alpha of the area. He’d thought to avoid that meeting for a while, but it seemed fate was pushing his actions again. The Alpha could very well tell him he had to leave. Ian had hoped to have a decent business going by the time he needed to meet the coyote that ran the pack.
    There wasn’t anything he could do about it now. He needed to heal, shift and get back to his own home before he could make any type of
