What if shifters don t fall in love like humans?
 After everything that s happened, Demitri said,
catching Kiernan s attention.  I wasn t sure you could fall in
love with me. I mean, I always hoped. He paused and
smiled tremulously.  But after seeing what happened with
my parents, I didn t 
 Hey, hey, Kiernan cut him off. Damn, my lover has more
doubts than I do! Setting down his cup, he crossed to Demitri

Freeing Demitri s Wolf
and cupped his face so he could stare into his shifter s pretty
green eyes.  Your parents are a horrible example. Yes, I love
you. I think you re kind and sweet. You have such a big
heart, and you re sexy. Even if we weren t mates, I d still
have been drooling over you. At each word, Demitri s eyes
seemed to widen more.  I m grateful to have found you. At
my age, I d kinda given up hope, he admitted.
Suddenly, Kiernan found himself with an armful of hot,
excited male. Demitri whined into his mouth as he clung to
him, kissing him frantically. Kiernan took everything his
lover gave him and returned it tenfold, delving his tongue
past Demitri s lips and tangling their tongues, tasting mint
from his toothpaste and underneath that, the unique
masculine flavor that was all Demitri.
 I love you, too, so much. I love you.
Demitri s words were hard to understand, but Kiernan s
heart still soared at his lover s admission. He started to steer
the younger man toward the stairs and their bed. Breakfast
could wait.
Glass shattering followed by a feminine screech yanked
Kiernan out of the plans he was forming to fuck Demitri
through the mattress. Kiernan lifted his head and spotted a
slender, toned blond woman wearing sweats and a sports
bra standing inside his dining room. The sliding glass door
behind her was shattered.
 Who the hell are you? Kiernan shouted.
 That s my mom, Rachel, Demitri whispered, clearly just
as shocked.
 You will cease this behavior at once, she snarled.  You
are not gay and you will take your father s place helping me
expose shifters for the vile creatures they are.
Demitri s jaw dropped.  But you re a shifter, too. Then
he glared and yelled back.  And I am gay. Kiernan is my
mate. I ve claimed him!

 I won t be a shifter much longer, Rachel snapped.  And
neither will you. My friends will exorcise these animal
demons that plague us!
Kiernan watched in stunned silence as Demitri yelled
back,  They re not demons. Our wolves are part of us!
 No! Rachel screamed. Something in her eyes didn t look
quite right to Kiernan. When she stripped and started
shifting, he knew he was right. Rachel had gone round the
bend.
 Shit, she s not all there, Kiernan warned.
 I know, Demitri replied as he kicked off his boxers.
Even though he d started shifting after Rachel, Demitri
reached his wolf form first. The crunch of glass tore
Kiernan s gaze away from where his lover charged his
mother. The man with glasses from the other night was
walking into his house, and he held a tranq gun.
Not again!
Turning, Kiernan grabbed the nearly empty bottle of
tequila, suddenly grateful he d never bothered to put it
away. He chucked it at the man. His aim was true. It hit the
guy in the head. The man roared in pain and stumbled back
a step, blood dripping down his temple.
Kiernan yanked open the drawer of his end table and
shoved aside a couple magazines. Underneath he found it,
the .357 Ruger his father had given him for protection when
he d come out to him at age twenty-five. He didn t use it
much anymore, although he always kept his concealed carry
permit current.
A glance up showed him the guy regaining his senses. To
Kiernan s relief, he spotted his lover easily holding his own
against his mother.
Popping the safety, he lifted the gun and pointed it at the
guy.  Freeze, he yelled, then mentally rolled his eyes.
Freeze, really?

Freeing Demitri s Wolf
The guy looked up at him and, for a second, he obeyed.
Then he spun on his heel and started running.  No fucking
way, Kiernan snarled. Lowering his aim, he squeezed the
trigger. The report echoed in his ears, making them ring. It
almost drowned out the guy s scream.
Swiftly, Kiernan ran after him. Blood oozed from the
wound on the man s leg, but still he was trying to get back to
his feet and out the broken sliding door. Switching his grip,
Kiernan slammed the butt of the weapon down on the guy s
head, knocking him out cold.
 Bloody scientist asshole, he growled. He just resisted
the urge to kick the unconscious man. Instead, he headed
back around the table and spotted the wolves. Shit, which one
is Demitri? Then he realized his lover was the one with
silver-blond accents in his light colored fur and wasn t that
an odd thing to think? His mother was much darker.
He decided that just in time to see Demitri grapple his
mother to the ground. With his jaws wrapped around her
throat, Demitri growled low in his throat. It took Kiernan a
second to realize he was asking for Rachel s submittal. At
first, she scrabbled underneath him, trying to get away, but
then she went limp.
Demitri growled in warning as he slowly released her
throat. As soon as the pressure was gone, she curled her legs
under her and leaped at Demitri. Evidently, he d expected
the deceit, for he immediately skittered sideways. Rachel s
momentum on the wood floor sent her sliding toward
Kiernan. Lifting his gun again, he slammed it down on the
wolf s head. She slid to a stop, unconscious.
Kiernan immediately moved to Demitri s side. He set the
gun on the floor, grabbed the wolf s ruff in one hand, and
cupped his muzzle in the other.  Are you okay?
Seconds later, his arms were full of naked male, hugging
him close.  I m okay. Are you okay?

 Fine, Kiernan replied. Looking at the downed pair, he
grimaced at the blood still oozing from the fallen scientist.
 Guess I need to bandage that for him, but then what do we
do with them?
 Take them to Declan s, Demitri replied immediately.
 Right. So much for breakfast, Kiernan grumbled, but he
wasn t too upset. Now that his lover s mother and the final
would-be kidnapper had appeared, things would settle
down& he hoped.
 I didn t know you had a gun, Demitri commented from
where he helped Kiernan tie up their attackers.
Kiernan shrugged.  My father gave it to me when I was
twenty-five. He told me to consider it a coming out present. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
