“You really don’t know the first thing about being a wolf, do you?” Earl snarled as he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the bar. “What the hell are you doing showing up here like this?” he said as he let go and pointed his finger right in my face.
“ What are you talking about?” I asked. I had only been in Moon Bay for a little under a week, and I was just doing my best to fit in with the pack. Earl was the alpha. He was a construction foreman and pretty much the big man on this side of town. As he walked me away from the bar, his anger subsided, and I could see the concern in his eyes.
“Christ, Les, you’re in heat. If you go back in there, they’re going to tear each other apart trying to get to you, and I don’t even want to imagine what would happen then. All it will take is one whiff of your scent. I know you’re new to all of this, but use your head. If Mac were here he’d kill me for even letting you near this place.”
“Well, he’s not,” I replied. Mac was my estranged dad who had died in an accident of some kind a few weeks back. The authorities said he had been hunting when it happened, and I didn’t ask for details. I had come to town to settle his estate and tie up loose ends. I hadn’t seen him since I was seven years old. I had only come up at my mother’s request.
“Your father was a good man, Lesley. He just didn’t, well, he didn’t want you getting caught up in all of this.”
The news that I was half wolf came as a bit of a surprise. Sure, I got a little crazy around the full moon, but who didn’t? And I liked my steak rare, but I never thought that was a sign of anything. It’s not like I had fur. It’s not like I howled at the moon or anything like that. I had heard stories about werewolves for years. I just never really believed they were true. One week in Moon Bay, Alaska sure took care of that for me.
I looked at Earl. “So what am I supposed to do?” I asked. I had worn my good jeans, the ones that hugged my hips just right and accentuated my assets, and I had even found a cute plaid lumberjack shirt at a shop in town. If I was going to be stuck here for a few more weeks sorting out the mess my father had left, I might as well get to have some fun on the weekends. At least that was the thought until Earl dragged me out of the bar.
“I’ll get Cooper. He’ll drive you back up to your dad’s place.
I looked at him. “Uh, I thought my scent was enough to drive any wolf wild right now.” All I wanted was a drink and some flirtation, and now I had to deal with this bullshit.
“Good thing Cooper can’t smell for shit.”
“What?”
“Accident a few years back caused him to lose any sense of smell. If he’s attracted to you, it won’t be because you’re in heat. I’m sure you’ll be able to deal with him.”
“And why should I trust him, Earl?”
“Because I do. And, you can bet your ass that he’ll listen to me.”
“Because you’re his alpha?”
“Because I’m his father. Now stay here.” Earl headed back into the bar to get Cooper.
“Great,” I muttered to myself. I couldn’t wait for Earl’s son to hit on me. He was probably barely old enough to drive.
A minute later Earl came back out of the bar, leading Cooper over to me. I held my breath as I watched him walking over. Cooper was no teenager. He looked to be in his late twenties and was at least six foot two, with broad shoulders that made him look even bigger. He had a baseball cap pulled down over his eyes.
Earl walked him over to me and introduced us. “Lesley, this is Cooper. Cooper, you get her back to her Mac’s place in one piece, ok?”
“Yessir,” Cooper replied as he walked over to my truck. “Keys,” he said, holding out his hand and staring at me under the brim of his hat.
“I can drive myself, you know.”
“Just give him the
