Free All Kitten Aside: BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 11) by Milly Taiden

a man that will do all that for you and make you his priority.”
    Fuck! It would be nice to have a support system instead of feeling like she had to handle everything on her own. Still, she had been trained from birth to lead. This was how things worked. Besides, a wolf would never get how her pride worked.
    “Gerri, I just don’t think—”
    “Look,” Gerri interrupted. “I respect your opinion and your argument, but you asked me to do a job and I’m doing it. I want you to do one thing for me. Give Kasen a chance.” Gerri raised her brows and shook her head. “Stop making faces. I am asking you to do this for a reason. Wolf or not, I think you need to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
    She had a hard time controlling her lioness as it was around him. With her heat at full force, she’d probably claim him and then all hell would break loose.
    “Maybe after my heat.”
    “Now.” Gerri’s no-nonsense look made her rethink things. “This is the time more of your males will try to push their weight around and test their limits. Now that you need a man. Now that you’re in heat, it’s going to bring out the crazies from the woodwork.”
    She didn’t know how right she was. Josh and his friends had reminded her how much the lions were in control of these human bodies.
    “I’ll think about it and get back to you.” She so didn’t want to have to call Kasen the Orgasminator and tell him she wanted more time with him. He’d probably assume she wanted more sex. He’d be right, too. She totally did.

    Kasen should have followed his common sense. The woman wanted nothing to do with him, but his wolf wouldn’t have it. She was meant to be his.
    “You sure about this, bro?” Spike asked from the passenger side of his truck.
    “Not at all.” His best reply yet. Andi had been honest with her response to him. She’d told him clearly they weren’t going anywhere. He hadn’t appreciated hearing it, but after speaking to Gerri and knowing how hard it was being a female alpha in a world of men, he understood somewhat.
    “I love how we are pulling this whole visit out of our asses,” Spike laughed. “I don’t think it will endear you to her anymore.”
    “She told me I wasn’t right for her.” Why did that bother him so much any fucking way? She’s your mate . His goddamned animal needed to be taken down a few notches. This whole shit with wanting her ASAP was driving him up a fucking wall.
    “And so now we’re just going to show up and you’re going to…what? Debate that you are?” Spike’s tone was full of sarcasm. “I just think we’re going about this the wrong way.”
    “I didn’t ask you to come,” he growled.
    Spike laughed. The sound only annoyed Kasen more. He knew Kasen wasn’t one to back down…from anything. “No, you didn’t. But what kind of fucking beta would I be if I let my alpha go into enemy territory alone.”
    He flashed Spike a cold look. “She’s mine.”
    Spike cleared his throat. “Maybe, but her people sure aren’t. I highly doubt they’ll take your visit to court their alpha as anything to celebrate.”
    He thought about what Spike said. Kasen didn’t need this kind of shit. What happened to wanting a chase? He didn’t expect to be rejected in the process. Not after sex so hot, it fucked with his ability to stay emotionally neutral. He acted like a moron after and got demanding. No wonder she didn’t want anything to do with him.
    Women flocked to him. He was the alpha of the Steel Claw Pack. Fucking hell! Women all over the north wanted him, and she, the one he wanted, had looked him straight in the eyes and said she didn’t have time to teach him how to be the kind of mate she wanted. Like he was some new pup that needed training. He growled at the memory.
    He slowed the truck as they neared her house. The bumpy country road didn’t bother him. This pride kept to a solo area and humans rarely came around there. There was a Jeep in
