Chapter 1
Lyanne felt at peace with the world.
The morning had dawned with the beautiful rays from the sun streaming in through the cabin’s windows. Darian was still asleep beside her and their little chipmunk friend was curled up fast asleep nestled into a warm blanket on the bottom of their bed. Lyanne propped herself up on her elbow and stared across at the sexy man sleeping quietly beside her, how could this perfect man really be a wolf?
She had so many questions firing around her head this morning. There was so much she wanted and needed to know about him.
Lyanne had some knowledge about how a wolf pack worked, she knew the alpha male and female basically ran the pack, their decisions, and especially the alpha male were always followed by the rest of the pack. She was surprised to hear that Lisa was the omega wolf, but then as she thought back to her behavior it all made sense now.
Lisa had shuffled into the cabin on their first encounter with her head bowed and had only glanced at Lyanne momentarily when she’d left with James and Daniel. No wonder Darian had been surprised by her attempt to attack Lyanne, because as the omega wolf her rank within their pack structure was the lowest.
Lisa was important as she helped to keep the whole pack together, but she would have been the last to feed and been the subject of bullying from the others, this was evident in her mannerisms. The way she cowered and always shuffled along. Lyanne found the whole concept very fascinating, slightly bewildering, but fascinating at the same time.
James and Daniel were beta wolves, and it seemed that James was more of a threat to Darian than Daniel was as he seemed to be the stronger wolf. Lyanne understood that the beta wolves could threaten the role of the alpha and even the omega could move up within the pack. They obviously viewed Lyanne as a threat, and that knowledge she didn’t like.
Darian was waking up. He rolled over and looked at Lyanne, rubbing his eyes as he did.
“Morning beautiful,” he whispered as he smiled at her with his hazel eyes filled with tenderness.
“Hey you, my wolf man,” she giggled at her words and he swiped her elbow so she fell on her side staring into his hazel eyes.
“Well, you’re still here so that’s a good sign. Revealing my inner wolf didn’t make you run a mile,” he said.
She could feel his eyes burning into her very soul, his voice was so compassionate and she could detect some relief in his words, as though he half expected her to leave during the night.
“Nope, I’m not leaving for anything. My place is here by your side. I’ve never felt this contented in my life Darian,” Lyanne meant every word of it as she gazed into his warm eyes. She loved him and she knew that now.
“So I tell you that I’m a wild animal and you’re contented with that?”
She giggled quietly and whispered, “Yes, yes I am because I also know the man that you are Darian. You helped me when I needed you and you help the creatures of the forest. I want to get to know your wolf as much as I want to get to know you as a man.”
He leant up on his elbow and gazed into her pretty dark green eyes, his handsome features took Lyanne’s breath away. His tousled brown hair looked so appealing to Lyanne and the hard, warm muscles of his chest looked so sexy, his skin tone seemed to be tanned and made Lyanne look lily white in comparison.
“I will tell you anything you want to know about the wolf inside me my sweet Lyanne, but first I want to kiss you,” he said as his soft mouth laid claim to her full and throbbing lips. His kiss was slow and sensual and Lyanne felt her pussy becoming aroused immediately. Darian’s tongue slipped between her parted lips, sweeping and swirling around her wet mouth, Lyanne’s tongue plunged into his mouth tasting his sweet flavor.
Lyanne heard the disgruntled chipmunk chirping loudly as it
