Sassy Ever After: Bite My Sass (Kindle Worlds Novella) Read Online Free

few quick rounds of fun, and then when I get attached to the guy, a true mate would come along to steal him from me. I grit my teeth and speak through them. “Seriously?”
    The wolf backs away and growls at me. Alisha lets out a small squeak when his sharp teeth are revealed, but she doesn’t have a reason to be scared. He just let me know he’s interested and intends to act on it. I let out a huff of irritation, because that’s not happening. “Relax. I’m sure I smell good, but—” I stop speaking when the sound of twigs snapping and brush rustling from something moving quickly in the woods draws my attention. Out of nowhere, a wolf flies through the air toward me.
    Oh, crap! I don’t want to shift in front of Alisha, but for a split second I think I’ll have to until the dark wolf intervenes. He slams into the side of the one trying to attack me and quickly manages to tower over it and latch his jaw onto its neck in a show of power. I notice the wolf on the ground is female, and she’s stopped moving and submits. She glares at me as if somehow I’m her problem, and when the male wolf releases her, she runs away.
    The dark wolf lets out a low growl and swings his head toward me. I gaze at him as he crouches, and my chest is tight with a rush of desire for him. He protected me , and god help me, it was really hot. I say, “Thanks. We’re going to go now.”
    He tips his head at me, and while this event is just another day in the werewolf world, it’s different for Alisha, so I turn to deal with her. The flashlight Alisha dropped is hard in my fingers as I retrieve it to hand to her. I grip her arm lightly to tug her along as I begin to walk. I pretend what happened wasn’t a big deal. “How did you end up all the way out here?”
    She glances over her shoulder and back at me with her brow knit in confusion. “Um. You know me and directions.” She lets out a nervous laugh and moves quickly now that we’re out of sight of the wolf. She stumbles and catches herself before she says, “Perhaps I wasn’t the one that should have been searching for roasting sticks in the woods.”
    “You think?” I grab her hand and squeeze her fingers as I offer support. “Are you okay?”
    She looks back again as she hisses, “What the hell was that? You just told the wolf we were leaving, and he let us.”
    “Yeah, well, I don’t think we’re his type. Not enough fur.”
    Alisha hits my arm. “What is wrong with you? I almost get eaten by a wolf, another one tries to kill you, and you’re joking about it?”
    “He wasn’t going to eat us,” I say.
    “Oh my God, Juliet! He growled, and did you see the size of his teeth?”
    The last thing I need is for Alisha to get the idea she should report the wolf to the authorities. “How many beers did you have?”
    “Oh no, you don’t. I know what I saw. What about the other one that came at you?” She shudders. “If wolfie hadn’t been there, we’d both be dead.”
    I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve acted the way the female did. I think she was jealous. “It never would have happened if the other wolfie hadn’t been sniffing us.”
    “How do you know so much about wolves?”
    “They’re a recent hobby of mine.”
    She frowns at me but seems to accept my explanation. “Make light of this if you want, but the girls will think like I do.”
    I stop walking and grab her arm. “You can tell them a good story, but this stays between you and me. That wolf had no intention of hurting us, and if we tell Chelsea, she’ll want to report it. He was looking out for us, but nobody would believe that. If we start a wolf hunt, who knows what the authorities would do to him?”
    “Oh.” Alisha’s quiet for a moment as she considers my words. “I didn’t think about that.” She takes a deep breath, and I know I’ve got her. She’s the one in our group to usually come up with a good story to get us out of trouble. “Okay. I’ll give the ditzy-Alisha exaggerated
