“He means nothing because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“I need to know if this is going to be a problem for you?” Alpha asked.
“So, I think she’s sexy? Yes, I want to fuck her. What’s the big deal? I want to fuck most women. This woman won’t be a problem.”
“You will not fuck her,” Alpha said.
“Out there, you tell the pack what to do. Not me and not here.”
He wasn’t going to be told who he could stick his dick in.
“Leave us,” Alpha said.
One by one, the men left. Amelia followed behind her husband, and within seconds, he was alone with Alpha.
“This woman could be dangerous to the pack, Boyan.”
“I understand that, but you’re making a judgment call right now, without meeting her.”
“She’s human.”
“And so humans are all bad?”
“We’ve never met a good one, and right now, I don’t believe it’s safe for her. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t escaped your mind that all the people currently infected are in some way making their way here.”
It hadn’t escaped his notice.
The people they had found were close to the town line, most of them collapsing in the forest.
“She is a human female, and this means her life could be at risk.”
“Dr. Milton is dead.”
“And we don’t know how many people he infected or who they’re infecting, if they can even infect other people.”
“I’m aware of this, which is why now is a good time to keep her around,” Boyan said. “We don’t know what is out there, but to leave her to fend for herself, to leave town completely unprotected is not something we should be considering either. I know having a human female in town is not ideal, but we’re going to have to deal with it.”
“What about Draco?” Alpha asked.
Boyan knew he’d bring up the club brother. Draco had been the only one of them to be mated. This was many moons ago. His mate had been killed by a human hunter, and Draco hadn’t been the same since. Losing the only love he’d ever have had killed a part of his soul. There were moments Draco was more animal than human. If it hadn’t been for the club, he’d have gladly given in to the beast.
“Then he’s on guard duty,” Boyan said. “I know none of this is ideal, but it is what it is. We can’t put her life at risk, and we can’t expose her to Draco or any of the infected. We just can’t.” He ran fingers through his hair then pulled it all back, tying it in a bun at the base of his neck.
He needed to get the length cut, but he kind of had a thing with the salon owner, Macy, and they liked to fuck around the full moon. The only problem was Macy got a little too attached, and well, he got a little bored. It was why he’d not gotten his hair cut in a long time.
Not that he feared Macy. The club would be pissed if anything happened to him, and she would have to answer to any crimes she committed. She didn’t like to take no for an answer. Macy had started to talk about mating, the future, kids, all of it. Boyan knew she’d enjoyed many men of the pack, not that he minded that, but she wasn’t the woman he wished to settle down with.
“Fine. I’ll deal with Draco,” Alpha said.
Alpha was always able to bring Draco back from the edge. So far, Draco had seemed fine. The last few weeks, he’d been focused on keeping this human alive.
It was strange, ever since his mate died, he’d been happy to hunt and kill humans. The infected humans seemed to garner his sympathy, and he attempted to help them all through the transition. They hadn’t made it.
The current infected seemed to be lasting the longest. Boyan knew they should contact Shirley, the pack healer, but if they did that, it would alert the pack to the problem. The pack could be giant pains in the ass, but they also feared the unknown. There was a chance they would attempt to hunt and kill all those infected, even though it wasn’t their fault.
There was a lot of shit going on. He knew deep down they didn’t have time for a strange-smelling female, but what more could they do? He also didn’t want her to leave. There was something about her that had his wolf intrigued. He’d not told Enzo about that.
He’d not let anyone know that the moment he was close to Agatha Preston, his wolf woke up, and the urge to mate was exceedingly strong.
Chapter Three
This was insane.
Agatha had never known a job interview to go by so fast. Amelia had picked her up from her apartment, and they’d walked to the bar.
Val was a nice man, a little rough around the edges, and his gaze had seemed almost penetrative. Like he was trying to see all the way through her, which was fine, a little off-putting, but it was something she could handle.
