Her Lone Wolves Read Online Free Page A

when they ran with the wolves.
    One day, Everett knew, Caleb would finally make the Challenge to become the Clan's leader, and when that day came Everett would have to kill him. The thought brought both bitter anger and sadness to his heart because then there’d be only him and Avery, and he doubted Avery would stay if Everett wound up killing his twin.
    Pulling himself out of his dark thoughts, he looked over at Jane. She was staring at him. And, although he was sure he’d only imagined it, he thought he saw pity in her eyes.
    “You hungry?”
    Before she could answer, her stomach growled. Loudly. She gave him a shy smile, which was as sweet as it was unexpected. He almost returned her smile, but got hold of himself before he did.
    “We eat in an hour.” His voice was rougher than he’d intended, but she’d caught him off guard with that smile. “Get dressed.”
    Her smile disappeared. “Is that an order?”
    “Yes, it’s an order. Because while you're here, you'll do as I say. Everyone who lives under this roof does as I say. Understood?”
    She lifted a slender eyebrow but said nothing. He left the room, closing the door behind him. Then he leaned against it, releasing a long, slow breath as he pushed the intoxicating scent of her cunt out of his lungs. He groaned.
    God, it had been so long since he'd been with a woman.
    Even now his cock was rigid with his need. He gritted his teeth. It was taking all his willpower not to go back inside that room, throw himself onto her naked body, thrust his dick in her hot, sweet pussy and fuck her to one shattering climax after another.
    But he wouldn't. He couldn’t. That was the danger. Avery was right. It was near to the full moon. The urge to Change would soon be upon him and the twins. They’d have no choice but to shift, but the days before the moon was full, and it grew bigger and bigger in the sky, the need to mate was strongest, and now with a young, desirable and, based on her scent, fertile female in the house, he and the twins would be hard-pressed to resist her.
    But resist her they must. Because if she were to find out what he, Avery and Caleb really were, the last remaining members of the werewolf Clan that had once thrived in these mountains, Everett would have no choice but to kill her.
    Caleb might want to keep her, but Everett wasn’t going to let that happen. She wasn’t Clan. Even a female who was Clan was trouble enough, as had been the case with Naomi. A human female would be trouble on a scale Everett was not prepared to deal with.
    He pushed away from the door and headed down the hall to prepare one of the guestrooms. The sooner Jane Rivers was gone, the better.
    For him and for her.
     

Chapter Four
     
    Jane checked herself out in the full-length mirror. Jeans, shirt, socks, and boots. Nothing fancy but, for now, they were all the clothes she had. She'd been wearing them when she'd gone up into the mountains. The rest of her clothes were in her room at the hotel in town. She wondered if anyone had noticed she hadn't returned. If so, had they notified the authorities? Were people even now searching for her?
    She nervously ran her hands down the front of her jeans. Her clothes had been washed, dried and neatly ironed.
    Even her underwear.
    She couldn't imagine Everett McKinnon doing such a thing. It had to have been one of the other two men he said lived here with him.
    The wind howled outside the window of the guest bedroom. Jane went over and looked out. It was dark now. And it was still snowing, the wind whipping the thick flakes sideways. She sighed. She doubted any search parties would be out looking for her while the storm was still raging. They'd most certainly wait until it had stopped. Until then, she was trapped in this house with three men she knew absolutely nothing about.
    After she’d put on her clothes, Everett McKinnon showed her to the guestroom that was down the hall from his room. She hadn’t got much of an impression of the
