Free Riding the Entire Pack (BBW Werewolf Shifter Steamy Menage Romance) by Willow Wilde Page A

I noticed that there was a wolf walking along with me. It padded along at approximately my speed, peering at me through the trees. As I sped up, it did so as well; as I slowed down, so did it. I knew it was a wolf because of the general shape of it in the darkness, and its piercing green eyes – but it was much too big to be a regular wolf, and so I understood that it was another demon of these horrendous woods.
     
    To mock me, as we walked along a particularly dense thicket, it passed out of view as the brush came between us – and what walked out was not a wolf but a man. This man was the most handsome man I had ever seen, incredible rugged with thick muscles, broad shoulders, and a chiseled chin. This wolf-now-man was so incredibly handsome that he made my loins practically wetten at the very sight of him alone.
     
    “You’re a wolf,” I told him as we walked.
     
    “Yes,” he agreed, licking his lips and gazing at me hungrily.
     
    “Why are you a man now?”
     
    “Because I cannot fuck you as a wolf.”
     
    I ignored him for a while after that, and eventually came to a stop to sit and eat some of my food. To my dismay, it was the remainder of my looting, and I had nothing else to eat afterwards. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw that the wolf-now-man had similarly stopped, and was gazing upon me. His piercing green eyes traced my body, and I could tell that he was hungrily, lustfully observing me.
     
    “What is your name?” I asked him, uncertain of his tricks.
     
    “I am Garreck of Thickbane, the wolf shifter,” he told me in his rugged, musky voice. “Who is the little girl who walks through my woods?”
     
    “My name is Holly,” I told him truthfully. I knew to never lie to the mystical creatures that inhabited forests like this. “And I’m not a little girl. I’m a woman.”
     
    “My mistake,” he grinned evilly. “Holly, you aren’t going to leave these woods alive.”
     
    “Is that because you’re going to kill me?”
     
    “Of course not. It’s because you’re walking the wrong way.”
     
    I gazed at him dumbfounded. “No, we came in the other way, and we were over halfway in. My uncle told us we wouldn’t be in these woods for long…”
     
    Garreck chuckled, licking his lips again. “Then your uncle is a liar or a terrible navigator. You are descending deeper into the forest. At your current rate, it’ll be a week before you’re out the other side.”
     
    “Oh gods,” I murmured in defeat as I hunched against the tree. If what he’s saying is true…then he’s right. I really WILL die in this forest. Why did I come on this stupid trip in the first place?
     
    Garreck howled softly in remorse, and I dried my eyes and turned to him. He was still a handsome, rugged man, and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the strong muscles that filled his chest and his arms. My odd companion was dressed in leather leggings that showed off the lean build of his legs, while the filtering sunlight cast flattering angles along his upper body. Although I knew it was likely a trick of the woods, I felt enamored by this incredibly attractive creature, and I wondered if he meant what he said earlier.
     
    I thought I’d ask.
     
    “Did you mean what you said earlier?”
     
    “About what?”
     
    “That you wanted to fuck me.”
     
    “Of course. It’s the only way you’ll survive, after all, and I’d hate to see such a beautiful young woman die out here.”
     
    That caught me off-guard. “What do you mean, the ‘only way I’ll survive?’”
     
    Garreck’s aloof gaze hardened as he focused on me. For the first time, I felt that he was taking things seriously, and I trembled under his firm glare. “I lead a pack of wolf shifters as their alpha male…and we are but one force in this defiant place. Without our protection, you are going to be killed by whatever took the rest of your people. The only reason you have been safe so far is that I have been watching you,
