Free Alpha Bloodlines by Kirsty Moseley

his hands, his face less than an inch from mine,
    "You have nothing to be scared of shortie, I'll never let anything hurt you I swear" he said tenderly. I could hear the truth in his voice and thinking about his eyes earlier I knew he was scary himself.
    "There's animals in there, Mel told me when I was a kid" I said frowning looking into the tree's scanning for some type of killer animal.
    He chuckled "Brook, it's fine I promise, you trust me?" he asked raising his eyebrows at me, I nodded, I did trust him, he was crazy and possessive but I trusted him, definitely, even though I had nothing to base that trust on at all. He smiled and stepped towards the tree's again giving me a little tug, I took a deep breath and stepped into the tree's with him. He smiled happily as he led us forwards going deeper and deeper into the woods, it was so dark, how the hell could he see where he was going?
    "Jayden, that's enough please" I begged looking back the way we had come longingly.
    He stopped and pulled me over to a tree that had fallen over, he brushed the moss off of it and motioned for me to sit down. He crouched down in front of me, "Do you have any idea what I am?" he asked curiously, what he is? What does that mean?
    "Sagittarius?" I offered shrugging making him laugh, he shook his head.
    "Ok you have no idea, this is fucking crazy, I don't know how this happened, it shouldn't have happened" he said frowning confused.
    When he didn't continue I cupped his cheek, "Jayden, please tell me what the hell this is about, it's cold" I said hugging myself against the cold night, he stood and immediately pulled off his t-shirt standing there with a bare chest making me so hot I could catch fire, well that definitely warmed me up!
    He bent down wrapping the shirt around my shoulders. "Sorry that's all I've got, I could give you my jeans too but I've not got any boxers on" he said looking at me playfully. I laughed and shook my head pulling his t-shirt around my shoulders tighter, he knelt down in front of me rubbing his hands up my arms trying to warm me.
    "So, I'm not like you, please don't freak out, ok?" he asked making me instantly weary, when people say 'don't freak out' that usually pretty much guarantee's a freak out. I nodded biting my tongue trying to keep myself focused. "I'm a shifter, the animals Mel warned you about in the woods when you were a kid, that's me" he said cocking his head to the side watching me intently. I smiled, ok great, possessive, crazy and now delusional, just great and I'm in the middle of the dark woods with him and actually have no idea which direction we even came in from!
    He smiled "You ok with that?" he asked curiously.
    I nodded playing along "Sure, what kind of animal are you?" I asked trying to hide my amusement, he seemed to relax and breathed a sigh of relief.
    "I'm a wolf, my father's Alpha of the pack, I'll be Alpha one day" he said still trying to warm me up.
    I nodded "Ok great, now I know, can we go back to the house? Son of Alpha, it's cold" I said trying not to show my sarcasm too much.
    He laughed "You don't believe me, ok I thought that was too easy" he said standing up and unbuttoning his jeans. My smile faded as I watched him pull them off standing there naked in front of me making my body yearn for his. "Don't run Brook, my instincts are to chase you" he said warningly, chase me? I gulped and he suddenly exploded into a huge brown wolf.
    I screamed and jumped up clamping my hand over my mouth to stifle the piercing scream that was coming out of me. I felt sick, my whole body was shaking with fear, I closed my eyes and prayed for this to be over quickly. Oh shit please don't maul me, kill me before you eat me, please! I was jostled and I screamed again struggling against something hard. I opened my eyes to see Jayden there with his arms tight around me, "Shh, it's ok, I won't hurt you I swear, it's ok shortie, shh" he cooed stroking my hair.
    Holy fuck did he really just turn into a
