Free Alpha Rogue 3 (BBW Paranormal Wolf Shifter Romance) by Terry Bolryder

going to outdo yourself.”
    “I know, right?” I shrug, and catch Rafe’s eyes boring into me, as if they’re saying  haha, very funny .
    Rafe was never a huge fan of sarcasm though.
    “So, what about Lindon?” I ask, changing the subject. “Now that two of us are happily mated, to alpha females nonetheless, there’s only one left in the family.”
    “I’m not sure. I think Rowan has something in mind.” He stacks the papers and hands them back to me, which I fold and stick into my coat pocket before Rose can see them. She watches me suspiciously, but doesn’t pry into it.
    A ringing sound starts, and Rafe pulls his cell phone from his suit pocket and looks at the screen.
    “Actually, that’s Rowan. I better take this, if you could excuse me,” he says, standing and walking to a corner of the cafe that’s still empty.
    “So, what kind of surprise would this be?” Rose asks, moving closer to me.
    “Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. Tra la la,” I say, trying to dodge, looking at the ceiling as she gets closer to me, hoping I’ll cave. I can hear Rafe talking animatedly in the background with Rowan. From the sound of it, someone they’ve been looking for has been found and they’re deciding what to do next. Maybe it has to do with the Lindon thing Rafe mentioned…
    “Well, just promise me it’s not another car,” she says.
    “It’s not, I promise,” I reply innocently. It’s a house.
    While Rafe paces in the background, a waiter comes and takes our order. While we wait, I find myself unable to resist the urge to stroke her soft blonde hair and kiss her, fawning over my wonderful mate that I’m so lucky to have.
    “I love you,” I say, rubbing her nose with mine. I can hear Lindon’s voice in the back of my head telling me to “get a room”.
    “I love you, too,” Rose replies, smiling. I swear I’ll never see enough of that smile for the rest of eternity.
    As the waiter comes with our order, my mind wanders to a song I used to listen to a lot when I did MMA. It proclaimed that, through sheer effort and willpower, the listener could be forever immortalized in the hall of fame. I realize now that this is a million times better. Having a woman who I love and that loves me back, and the sheer, immeasurable happiness it gives me. It could never be matched by fame or fortune or recognition or titles of any kind. The only adulation I need is that of my wife. The only titles I need are the ones I already have- husband, lover, companion. This is the legacy I hope to leave behind, a legacy of love, not of violence.
    I love you Rose. Let me always make you happy. This is only the beginning of forever with you.
    I’m enjoying every second of it.
