Free Werewolves in London by Karilyn Bentley Page A

live with us, Margie isn’t going to take you from me.
    “But you’re a wolf now.”
    I am, but Vonda is going to stay here and show us how to be wolves. Someone has to and I’d rather it be Vonda than Margie, wouldn’t you?
    Elizabeth looked at Vonda and then back and Tom. Vonda kept her mouth shut. She was staying, no way was she letting Tom go, but Tom needed to explain things to Elizabeth. If it wasn’t for Tom’s change, she’d have left the two of them alone to talk things out.
    “Yeah, I like Vonda. She can stay.”
    Vonda gave her a toothy grin. Score, she was in with the kid. For now.
    Tom, I’m going to run. You want to come with me? I promise I won’t eat your cattle.
    “She was eating on the herd?” Elizabeth’s brows shook hands with her hairline.
    They were tasty, but your dad made me promise not to eat his herd. One of these days you’ll understand the taste.
    “Eww. I don’t think so.”
    Honey, I’m going to go out with Vonda. You stay here. Keep the doors and windows shut and locked and we’ll be back by morning. We’ll be around the area if you need us. Okay?
    Elizabeth shrugged. “No one’s coming after me again, right?”
    Right, honey. Will you be okay?
    “Sure. Soon I can go out with you, too. Cool. I’m going to go read. Maybe I’ll stay up all night reading since you won’t be around to tell me otherwise.”
    Hey, now...
    Elizabeth jumped up, kissed Tom’s head and darted out the door.
    She doesn’t listen to me, Tom sighed.
    Yeah? Get used to it. They tend to do that.
    Are you happy with this? His paw gestured to her and back to him.
    This?
    Me. Like this. Or not like this. I mean, are you happy with this decision? It was forced on you and I appreciate you offering to stay with us so I could keep Elizabeth, but I want you to be happy with the decision.
    Rambling. He was rambling. Vonda smiled to herself. If a man rambles, well, that means he cares. And Tom caring enough about her to ramble made her heart sing.
    I’m very happy. Ever since I met you, since I shook your hand, I’ve wanted you. And not just the sex thing. It’s you. I’ve never felt about a man like I do you. I’m more than happy with this arrangement.
    He walked over to her and licked her face.
    It’s a little hard to do what I want in this body. But once the sun comes up, don’t run off. He waggled the hair sticking out above his eyes.
    She licked him back. Don’t worry, I won’t. Are you ready for the hunt?
    As long as you’re with me, I’m ready for anything.
    Anything? Her eyebrows waggled back at him.
    Anything with you. Forever and always.
    With Tom at her side and in her heart, the loneliness she experienced her entire life vanished, leaving only peace.
