All Chapters of Shifters Temptation : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As I walk away, a tortured sound trips from king's office. An inhuman sound. Almost like a howl. ~•~•~•~•~ JACKSON POV:I pull my clothes off in the parking lot and throw them in my trunk. It's reckless There are still cars in the lot, and it's not even dark yet, but I have to run. The moon is waxing, which makes my wolf antsier than usual. That's the problem not that smart mouthed, intoxicating little human who calls everything the way she sees it.My chest shakes with a growl when I think about the danger kylie is in. My wolf wants to protect her from all threats. But of course the only threat to her is me. Garret warned me this could happen. The Tucson Alpha runs a tigh pack. His wolves are all healthy, well adjusted. He and I have a tenuous relationship I am alone wolf on the edge of his territory. Garrett keeps reaching out. Not just to assert his leadership although he wouldn't be much of an Alpha if he didn't try but to save

JACKSON POV:My Wolf whines a little as I walk away from my little superhero, but he behaves. He wanted me to close the door and mark her with my scent so the likes of Stu will stay away, but he's satisfied that we got to see her at all.I shouldn't risk getting near her, but I can't help it. At least I proved to myself I can be in the same room without jumping her. I love that she's not afraid to tease me. You're Clark Kent. If she only knew. I skip the Elevator, take the stairs two at a time. My secretary gives me a bewildered look as I pass. I realize the strange feeling on my face is a smile. "Mr. King?" I turn, and my secretary's perfume hits. The downside of having a sharp nose."Yes, Vanessa?" "You have a call from Garrett. No last name. I wouldn't bother you, but you said to put him through--""I'll take it." Ever since Kylie sparred with her, my secretary's been subdued. I still get rock hard when I think of the encounter. If Kylie was a shif

BUT I can't do it and stay. If I give in to these guys, I'll be their bitch forever. Next they'll ask me to hack into the credit card vault. Then somewhere else. I can't do that I have to disappear. Like I've done a million times before. I stomp to the bedroom, grab a suitcase from the closet, and fling it onto the bed. Without thought, my hands move packing the necessities. Black clothes, one pair of each thing. A simple bag of toiletries. Running again. It doesn't matter how hard I try to outrun Catgirl and my parent's legacy, the past always catches up with me.But what about Mémé? We've moved so many times, I don't want to drag her on the road again. This time, our lives aren't in danger. It's not fair to make her pick up and move. Can I leave her?She's the only family I have. Ditching her to keep her safe feels like what my father did to me, when he tried to stick me in boarding school after my mom died. I wouldn't let him, and I'll bet Mémé won't like being left behind either.

She licks her dry lips. "Mr. king, before I share this with you, I just want to tell you when I did, I was a cocky teenager trying to prove my worth to myself and the hacker world. I never took anyone's credit card numbers, and I neversold any Information. It was simply a-"The realization hits me like a fist in the gut."Catgirl." Of course she's fucking Catgirl. The only person who ever hacked my code.No wonder she was nervous about interviewing at SeCure. What in the hell kind of game was she playing, showing up at my headquarters, at my home, for fuck's sake? The one breach in security, that haunted mefor the past eight years just blew up in my face.Again. I snatch the manila folder from her hands and dump the contents onto the bathroom counter."I'm sorry." Her voice sounds small. Dammit.I hate hearing her diminished, even to me a natural Alpha who demands submissions fromeveryone. Even when I'm pissed off with her."What the fuck is this?"I flip the stack of

But no- Kylie is human. And my employee. Because I am keeping her on, where I can watch her.Keep your enemies closer.I've already gone way to far with her. Any further, and I'd mark her, and then I'd have a word of new trouble on my hands. Forcing restraint I pull a clean towel from the cabinet and toss it to her. "Get out in the shower and warm up. I'll find you some dry clothes."I turn her around and proper her toward the shower stall, delivering another smack to her heart shaped ass. She makes a low purring sound in her throat and looks over her shoulder with heat. I bite back a groan it takes all my willpower to turn around and walk out, shutting the door behind me. GINRUMMY:His cell phone beeps. it's eight p.m. and he's still at SeCure, but that isn't unusual. It isn't unusual for half the employees there. They work flex time, and a lot of programmers do their work at night.It's MR. X calling.Yea
