SCOTT POV
Lisa is wearing her typical work clothes as usual, and I want to pull my hair out. I am dressed in a pair of nice jeans and a black polo. I did put my steel toe boots on, but we are supposed to be looking professional. We need this job. And my sister/business partner is dressed like she just climbed out of the workshop.EMMETT POVI wake up and stretch. Last night we had a few rogues on thesouthern border. The chase and capture took three hours of my precious sleep.I get dressed in a black shirt and dark wash jeans. Clint and Michael are waiting for me downstairs. We have to interrogate the wolves today and dispose of them before the contractors get here.Moira already has breakfast on the table by the time I come downstairs. Pancakes, bacon, sausage, and fresh orange juice."Moira teach Abbs how to cook, please," Michael says while inhaling a sausage.I stiffen at the mention of Abigail. She is Michael's older sister and my father's old Deltas daughter. My wolf has been pacing this morning and the mention of the she-wolf that touched us last night has him growling. I hate dealing with him on days where we have to handle rogues. Having an Alpha wolf in your head is hard."Clint, Michael, let's go. Praise Moira on her cooking later," I orde
LISA POVAfter Scott dropped me off at the house, I changed quickly. I couldn't wait to let my pent-up anger out. Who does that Alpha think he is. He acted like I wasn't capable and then followed my every movement.I grab my phone, keys and head out the door. I jump into our old Honda Civic and head to Max's gym. I am so ready to exhaust my body and mind.Being physical is something that comes naturally to me. As kids Scott and I were competitive. But as we aged, Scott's drive for the competitions vanished.As he changed, I stayed the same. I never stepped out of my comfort zones. I am a little jealous of Scott and his successful advances. Jealous but also incredibly proud. Unfortunately, right now, he blames himself for our money problems. He thinks because he chose a bad year to take a loan out, it is somehow wholly his fault. He is shrinking into his office, and I don't know how to pull him out. The business is essential to both of us, b
LISA POVMate. A word that tore my family apart. A word that left my father a single dad. I will never know if my mother was kept fromvisiting us or chose to stay away herself. It hurts to think it might have been her decision.I don't want to be a mate. I don't want any relationship, period. I want my family business to succeed and to feel accomplished in the ring. I don't want to feel an unexplainable bond with a stranger. I don't even know if I would like a romantic relationship with a person who isn't a stranger. I need to focus on helping my brother, keeping our company in the black, and enjoying my free time. From my experience, love hurts. My father was broken when his wife chose a bond over him.I stand up and look at Mr. Wolf Man. He is handsome. Dark brown, almost black hair, Chocolate rich eyes that warm your soul, a short beard that pulls attention to his jawline, and a sexy HUGE body. Truly a man that could star in every girl's f
LISA POVI double-check the supply truck. Most of all, the lumber has arrived, and I have enough hands to get this job underway. Alpha Emmett has faxed Scott three layouts for the small family homes. He wants 20 homes built, and we are to rotatethe designs between the three blueprints.All three designs have a front porch and an open concept living room and kitchen. This tells me the members here value family time.I know the families are itching to have their own space. So my men and I have our work cut out for us.I drive the flatbed semi loaded with lumber to the front gates of Riverstone. I made sure before leaving that every truck that arrived today has our company logo.Until the wolves learn our scents, we need to make sure our vehicles stand out. I don't want any of my men being mistaken for trespassers.I want to have three homes framed out this week at least. I made two groups of five and then a g
Mature chapter. My first ever mature scene. Bare with me.EMMETT POVLisa and her workers did not eat lunch in the packhouse today. I was extremelydisappointed, but I understand. She feels like sheneeds to protect her crew. I still can't believe Alpha reacted that way yesterday.Time is passing by so slowly. The paperwork is a jumbled mess in my mind, and nothing has been done for hours. All I can do is sit in my office and wait until 5 pm. I have waited five years for my mate, and now that I know her, I don't want to waste another second. Her honeysuckle wood scent is all over the territory now. And Alpha is in scent heaven.Finally, it is 4:45, and I can head to the job site. I make a stop in the restroom to check my appearance. Last night I had decided to shave off my well-maintained beard. I wanted to see if she reacted to my change.Seeing my current state in the mirror is disappointing. I have faint blue ba
R RATED CHAPTERLISA POVOne minute he is just a customer with a sexy body who has a thing for me. The next, my body is exploding with fire and desire. The minute I touched him, tingles had flared through me, and I was shocked at the mate bond.Is this what he has felt towards me since we met? Is this what my mother felt and the reason she chose to walk away from us?Every time he pressed his body on mine, my heart rate would increase. My body had craved his.When the haze of lust cleared and I realized what I had just done with our biggest customer ever, I panicked. I have never been intimate with a man of any species.I compete against males in every area of my life. I have never wanted a romantic relationship, and I never had the desire for sexual activities. But Emmett has just awoken something primal.I don't know how I made it home, but I did. Currently, I'm hiding in my room. Scott is still at Max's, probably enjoyi
EMMETT POVLisa's scent isn't with her crew this morning. I wonder if she will show up today, considering what happened last night. I can't believe we went that far. I shouldn't havepushed her. I know the bond is now stronger between us, which I'm thankful for, but I don't want to push my human mate.When the Goddess gave me the information about my mate, I chose to learn more about humans. I know humans aren't as sexually driven as we are, and I also know humans like relationships to build. Wolves move fast once we find our mates. I promised to move at a slow pace for my human. To woo her and build love up with the bond.Flashback Emmett 10 yrs oldEmmett- Where am I?Voice- You are in my realm, child.I look everywhere for the voice. And spot a beautiful woman standing in the grass. I instantly know it is my Goddess.Emmett- Hi goddess. Am I in trouble?The Goddess laughs at meGoddess- No child
LISA POVEmmett's office is nice and completely organized except for the hole in the wall where a window was. I can't believe rogues attacked his land while my crew was here. Ididn't even think about that danger when we took this job.I had told my crew to head to their safe room, but I couldn't go. My entire body was calling for Emmett's. I was sick to my stomach, thinking that he might be hurt. I've known this man for two and a half weeks, but it feels like years. The pull I've felt since last night is impossible to wrap my head around.When a big wolf tried to drag me to the safe room, I snapped. I immediately hit him with two jabs to the nose. Blood had splattered, and the wolf had let go. Mike had burst out laughing at the other wolf. I would not leave to some safe room like some scared little girl when he was out protecting all of us.Finally, the office door opens, and Emmett walks to his desk. He pauses for a moment at the hole
