The sky was cloudy today I rested one hand on the steering wheel while I cruised down the winding roceries, and I needed ti was vast, which ot to any seh; the drive helped haroundto tune out the sound of nature was theMost of the ti the radio in er It didn’t take ates to open and ht she was superior to huot hts out--and with th that could be deadly
I pulled the truck into a parking spot at Asher’s butcher shop Asher was a es stocked with meat We had ten freezers in the baseroup who could eat their weight in food
I strode through the door, slapped our order on the counter, and smiled at Asher He was one of the older wolves, but I’d never say that to hith and ability to keep up with the youngsters His shaggy brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail The wrinkles around his hazel, flecked with yellow eyes deepened when he returnedto do?" he asked as he scanned the list
"Yeah, I’roceries," I told him as I slapped a wad of bills on the counter Adae of the rest of the pack’s inco twenty-five wolves
"Okay, I’ll have this ready within the hour" Asher handed the list to one of his eh the door, I hopped in the cab of my truck and made my way across the street I was about to park when a car cut in front of roithinwheel, and I flexed theer that emanated inside ed froht to break free A car behinda place a few spots back, I shut off my truck and took a moment to rein inmy face to make sure my eyes weren’t yellow When hed in relief My inner as difficult to control if she got too pissed off Luckily, the douche bag hadn’t ruffled her enough for rip
Aftertwo trips to fill two carts of food, I went back to Asher’s When I stepped inside, however, I came face to face with Adam It took lanced away I suspected he’d been ignoring me because I turned him down As much as I told myself I didn’t care for his attention, when I saw hireeted me
"Adam," I responded with a nod
Three men with dollies stacked with boxes made their way out froainst the hile I waited for the food to be loaded, I crossed e of Adaainst mine stirred in my mind, and I closed my eyes as my wolf purred in remembrance I linted as he urged otten lost in thedirectly in front ofand cursed as heat wargling to forht lips
"Uh, yeah" I followed him outside where alked down the short sidewalk and around the side of the building When Adam stopped, his face took on an entirely different look Gone was the stony alpha façade and in its place was a man who craved a woman His eyes penetrated every inch of me as they roamed up and down my body--I could alht as ainst the brick wall to put space between us
Ada his hand on the wall to pin me in my place His blond hair fell forward as he looked down at aze up and met his stare We watched each other for a fewto Weston’s tonight I’d like you to cole?"
"Did you attack anyone today while shopping?" His voice was a Horn Mountains, I’d never been allowed to leave The fact that I left today, without his consent, was dangerous
"No I was going to ask, but I couldn’t find you and we needed groceries I didn’t--"
Adaer onfor his permission, and he knew it
"Then I suppose you’re ready You deserve a fun night, and I know all the men wanna see your moves," he quirked an eyebrow as his hand settled on ers into the brick behindout
"Okay" I breathed, my voice uneven
"Sir," a voice interrupted and Adauise was back in place Adam ith Asher, and I took a ht he could toy with nore me as if our interaction never happened
I smacked the irritation away and focused on the fact that I was going to Weston’s with the rest of the group instead of staying ho laundry If the irl was happy to oblige
