She saw two of Bubba’s men back up in fear at the big , ominous wolf.
“What the fuck ? T here are no wolves in Louisiana,” Bubba’s best friend Joe said and there was a tremor in his voice.
“Who said he’s a wolf?” Dominic came down the steps and stood next to the wolf. “He’s really well trained and friendly until someone comes on our property acting like an ass. So I’d turn around and leave . Now.”
“Fuck you . Y ou can ’t make me do n o thin ' ,” Bubba shouted.
That’s my cue , Tempest thought as she stepped out and the sound of her cocking the shotgun filled the night. “But I can shoot your leg off and we’d be within our rights. I think Lor na- Sue can do way better than you , especially if I shoot high enough to clip the twig between your legs.” Tempest made sure she aimed her gun lower so he knew exactly what she meant.
“Oh , you won’t have to do that , honey . H e’ll be on the ground and unconscious long before that,” Dominic said cheerfully. “ I can see that you’re not going to leave , so how about you just come at me and let ’ s get this over with ? ” He sighed and called them forward curtly. “Come on, come on, we don’t have all night . K ick my ass or whatever it is you think you can do .”
Bubba cussed and dropped the beer he was holding to rush Dominic. Alex snarled and jumped at the close s t man. When hi s teeth sunk into the man’s arm, he screamed and tried to shake Alex off. There was no way that was going to happen. Alex was a massive muscled specimen of a wolf. One of the others tried to pull a gun from the waist of his pants and it went off. Tempest wanted to laugh as he fell , grabbing at his leg, knowing the idiot ha d shot himself. Dominic w as holding his own against Bubba who wasn’t the best at finessing a fight , even when he wasn’ t drunk. He though t his weight would be an asset , but Domin ic used it against him. One good punch into his midsection had the big goo f ret ching and Dominic gave him a knee to the face knocking him back.
“ That took care of my anger towards you ,” said Dominic. “ Now this is for Tempest and all you ’ve put her through.” He hauled Bubba up by the shirt and Tempest could almost see the delight in Dominic as he punched Bubba repeatedly.
“Dominic, no more . H e’s down . T hey all are,” T empest said. “ Alex , I said stop . T he cops will be here soon . Ge t in here!”
Bright golden eyes gazed at her before t he black wolf stepp ed back with a disgusted noise a nd moved back into the darkness. She saw the flashing lights of police cruisers coming up the g ravel road just as Alex joined her on the patio , now back in his jeans . Dominic was busy lining up their assailants against the truck when the cruisers came to a stop. In the end , Bubba and his buddies were arrested. The one with the dog bite and the one who had shot himself were taken by ambulance to the hospital in the neighboring town. Cormina boasted a doctor’s office , but serious injuries had to go elsewhere.
“Where’s the big dog that guy’s screaming about ? ” Sheriff Dillard asked Dominic.
“Max is around somewhere . H e’s very friendly , but these guys came on the property , and he will protect what’s his,” Dominic replied.
“ Well , keep him out here . I f we see him in town, he gets shot,” t he sheriff said.
“I’m sure that won’t be an issue, ” Dominic said coldly. “I would look at the idiots you have lurking on your streets , like those who try to hurt a defenseless woman before you go about shooting animals. I will be very upset if anything happens to anyone in my family.”
The sheriff looked at Dominic and then turned to Tempest. “So you’re living with these two now , Tempest ? Y our parents raised you better than that . ”
“How can you speak for my parents? Y ou people did nothing but look down on us and called my m om ma
