He lifted a hand and palmed my cheek. “I’d never
hurt you, but I’m not letting you go,” he solemnly swore.
    I found myself leaning into his touch; my
wolf whimpered, closing his eyes, longing to be one with his mate.
Why now? I was past the typical mating age. I was a world away from
ready to submit to an unruly alpha, yet my heart, my body, my wolf
and my soul declared otherwise. It was my brain that wouldn’t shut
the hell up and give in. My sensible mind thrashed me with warning
bells; my head had sirens blaring as the past six months living in
hell sped through my mind.
    Drew moved his other hand, both hands now
cupping my face. “Who hurt you?” The vein in his neck swelled
beneath his flesh. His nostrils flared as he clamped his jaw.
    I averted my gaze. Now wasn’t the time. The
wounds were too fresh. My emotions, mainly my embarrassment and
anger, were still raw.
    He sighed. “Let me grab what I came for,
then we’re going back to my quarters.” There was no arguing. His
tone rang with finality. He really didn’t plan on letting me go.
Damn my weak heart for gushing over his insistence; and damn my
sensitive body for illuminating with a novel desire under his
dominance.
    I shook my head, rolling my shoulders,
struggling to work out the tension flowing through me and pitting
in my groin. I turned and headed towards the register, this time
not stopping until I got there. No sooner had I set my bottle of
water on the counter than Drew stepped behind me, placed a box of
pills on the counter next to it and slapped down a twenty, in case
I’d thought I was still independent enough to pay for my own
drink.
    “ Thanks,” I muttered,
grabbing the cold drink and moving past him.
    The moment I walked outside, he yanked me
around to face him before backing me against the truck parked
closest to the establishment’s door. His arms fell on either side
of me as his eyes darkened, honing in on me. “You’re mine. Maybe
you’re not ready to accept that yet, but I’ll be damned if you walk
away.” His Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. “Once I give this to
my beta and send him on his way, I’ll drive you to my place, in
your car. If you run, don’t think I won’t hunt you down, strip you
bare wherever I happen to catch you, and fuck you right then and
there, with no lube to soften the blow.” His voice was low and
tight near the end, driving home his threat. I couldn’t hold back
the shiver that chased down my spine and pooled low in my stomach.
He smirked knowingly as he pushed off the vehicle and headed
towards the passenger side.

Chapter Six
    DREW
    Fuck. Even speaking the warning had me yearning to fuck the sexy pup
right here and now. My cock had swelled past the point of comfort,
my balls so tight you could bounce a quarter off of them. I tugged
at my pants, seeking some alleviation, but got none.
    I stalked around the truck to the passenger
door. My beta was eyeing me and Barrett with curiosity. He’d been
wise not to intervene, although he probably noticed that I had it
under control.
    I pulled open the door and Jonah slid out to
meet me. “What’s going on?” His gaze flew between me and Barrett;
he was at attention, his reflexes sharp, ready for me to issue an
order.
    I chuckled. “You can relax.”
    His brows drew together. “What am I missing?
You looked ready to take a bite out of him a minute ago.”
    Jonah knew that I was gay. We’d both agreed
to practice openness and acceptance within our pack. No one ought
to be shunned over something they couldn’t control. We were trying
to start a progressive movement within the world of weres, which
was easier said than done when elders, with strict, traditional
beliefs, remained as counselors in packs decades beyond their
serving years.
    “ Barrett.” Speaking his
name sparked a fire within me; saying it felt right.
    The reluctant male faced me; his features
were tight. I could tell he was still trying to work through
everything; he
