He couldn’t beat two wolves.

And he knew it.

The black wolf sprinted for the river and was soon gone from sight.

Up here,I called when Greyson paused beneath me.

His lip curled, exposing his fangs.I thought you were in trouble.

My wolf snapped,We were followed through the river. Our attacker lost his scent.

Greyson sat back on his haunches.

Schooled.I congratulated her.

We leaped down, shaking off excess water so it flew over the massive wolf.

Who was it?he asked in a politer tone.

Black male wolf,we answered together.

Greyson lay down.That narrows things. There are around eighty black males in my pack.

Eighty! I groaned.You can’t smell him here at all?

I can only smell you and my pack. Lake Thana is a favourite running spot. I cannot hear him either, but he could easily hide with the noise of the river.

The world hated me.You have no idea who it is?

I will find out, mate.

We lay next to him and ignored his licking ministrations over our coat.

My wolf growled,How are we meant to run and shift if you can’t keep your pack in line?

Eek.

Greyson stiffened.I am both fearsome and fair. My pack are loyal, and my leadership is respected. Do not judge me by one male. Know that if you join me, your place as my queen will be secure. Our young will be safe. I will protect you, and my mother is ready to give over the rule of our she-wolves into your care without issue. You will want for nothing, female.

Greyson’s fervent words would make me explode into laughter if he wasn’t so deadly earnest.

My wolf licked his snout, working up to his ear.

Uhm,I murmured to her,are we okay with ear licking?

I grimaced as she worked down his neck.Please, stop.

She sat back and studiously ignored Greyson.

Licking and then a cold shoulder. Is this a treat him mean, keep him keen thing?I asked.

Yes.To Greyson, she said,I must leave now.

I will run with you, she-wolf.

From the way she displayed our butthole as we loped back to the river, I’d wager that he’d responded correctly.

Nothing like showing a man your butthole as a reward.
