A Mate for the Beta: Read Online Free

easygoing power that washed over people, Alec’s was a barely restrained ‘hit you over the head to make you comply’ type of deal. 
    But oh his eyes!   She never would have thought so before, but his eyes were his best feature, which was saying something when you considered all his other features. They exuded a fierce intelligence as well a primal hunger. God how she wanted him to see her, how she wanted to be captivated by those eyes.
    She wondered where he was right now...  Probably in Bar Luna getting dry humped by some random woman .
    She suddenly felt very cold and alone.  She pulled the pink covers around her more tightly.  Well it was her own fault if she was alone wasn’t it?  She wasn’t perfect but she was pretty enough to be noticed.  If she wanted to be with a man why didn’t she just put on something tight and revealing and flaunt herself at Bar Luna like all the other girls did.  She winced at the thought of her aunt Emerald’s reaction to that. 
    She had been on dates before, well two.  One with a teacher ’s aide from the local school who she had met through her friend Terri, he had spent the night hinting that perhaps she ought to order a salad and no dessert, that was when he wasn’t ogling the tall, trim black haired waitress.  Terri had been almost spitting when she found out.  The other was with Devon, a red wolf shifter who was part of the pack her friend Ed belonged to.  They were twenty minutes into the date when they both realised that neither was attracted to the other.  They both relaxed and then actually started to enjoy each other’s company. 
    Of course both of those had happened before she spotted him .  Alec Hart.  Sheriff Alec Hart. 
    It was almost a year ago now; she’d been at the library.  She was sitting in the second floor window seat reading a murder mystery.  It was a dull book and she almost didn’t care whether the murderer actually got caught or not.  She looked out the window and there he was.  He was stood chatting to the Alpha Adam outside the Sheriff’s station.  She had seen Adam before but never spoke to him; he had visited the boarding house to speak to aunt Emerald on a couple of occasions.  Speak was putting it mildly, they always had blazing rows about the Circle encroaching on pack land and vice versa. 
    She couldn’t hear what the two men had been saying but they both seemed to be smiling and laughing.  And god when he smiled it was blinding!   Just looking at him made her whole body hum.  His uniform looked like it had been painted on, it showed every muscle of his heavenly body.  Her own body had become so warm she had run out of the library as quickly as possible for fear of spontaneously combusting.
    After a few discreet enquiries, well after asking Terri, she had found out who and what he was.  She was a little daunted to hear that he was a wolf, and a Beta no less.  After all they were supposed to be the enemy and everything – well according to aunt Emerald.  But that didn’t deter her lust.  After all, surely there was no harm in quietly lusting after him?
    Every chance she got she would sit at the second floor window hoping for a glimpse of him.  She wasn’t brave – or stupid – enough to actively follow him around.  As a wolf he would have noticed her in a heartbeat.  She wasn’t exactly built for stealth.  She dreaded the thought that he would laugh at her and dismiss her for being a love struck child.
    Now, after carefully watching him for almost a year she was absolutely in love with him.
    What wasn’t there to love?  He was tall, good looking, kind, clever, charming... God he was just so damn perfect.  Yes, he was - so why would he waste time with a dumpy little virgin witch like her?
    He made her insides clench with warm anticipation at the thought of having him inside of her, the thought of any other man made her want to retch. 
    She had never really meant to save her virginity, it had just sort
