E.A. Price - Valentine's Wolf (Grey Wolf Pack #11) Read Online Free

surprised, had allowed himself to be wooed by her. She was a blasé cougar shifter, and never took the time to care what he said to her.
    Their marriage broke apart after he quit the Agency. Robyn couldn’t get on board with his sudden aversion to working for the SEA, and without it, they had nothing in common. They’d worked long, hard hours for the two years of their marriage, with schedules that rarely overlapped, and to suddenly find themselves together, it became apparent they weren’t compatible and that Jake wasn’t exactly emotionally available.
    So, they went their separate ways. Robyn was promoted to a different branch of the SEA. Jake’s aunt – and the only family member he knew on his mother’s side – suggested he petition the Alpha to join the pack in Rose. Uncertain what else to do, he did, they accepted him and now, three years later, he was a valued member. Having never lived in a pack before, it was a steep learning curve and at times as frustrating as trying to navigate high school, but it was worth it, and he was happy. But he could be happier…
    His wolf wagged his tail and panted like a dog. Jake shook his head and sent out a message of sorry to him - mating really wasn’t on the agenda . He figured if he were ever lucky enough to meet his true mate then, yeah, he’d settle down, but he wasn’t going to date in the hopes of finding just anyone. He could be alone – hell, he’d been practicing it for years and had it down to an art form - and a little loneliness wasn’t going to suddenly make him run out and bond himself to just any woman.
    His beast whined and clawed the ground in annoyance. Jake ignored him and got in his truck to drive home. The animal would get over the idea of being alone; god knows Jake had. It wasn’t really that bad…

Chapter Three
    27 th February
    Val stirred her martini. She hated martinis and only ordered one to make herself seem sophisticated. Big mistake . The ass sitting in front of her was hardly worth the bad taste in her mouth.
    His profile really didn’t do him justice. Nope, his profile made him look like a really desirable package, and in real life he was anything but.
    Yeah, he’d neglected to mention his three ex-wives, six kids and the fact that he was currently between jobs. He didn’t want a girlfriend; he wanted a sucker to mooch off . Okay, esthetically, he was pretty darn tasty – which went part way to explaining why so many women were willing to stand up and say ‘I do’ with him. Heck, if her ears weren’t working then she would be in big trouble from that boyish grin and that taut body but… her ears were working, and all she could focus on were the insipid comments falling out of his mouth. No, she didn’t care how good he was at Call of Duty! It had been downhill ever since he'd casually mentioned that he’d left his wallet at home and that she was going to have to pay for dinner…
    Since posting her profile on Intimate Connections, she had been on five dates. She was thrilled at the attention her profile garnered, but five dates in she was feeling a little jaded. And damnit, that ache in her stomach was only getting worse.
    Date number one had been okay until his wife turned up and threw her martini all over her. Apparently he was using the dating site to cheat on his wife. Asshole .
    Date number two was really bitter having just been divorced by his wife, and kept spouting misogynistic garbage. Pig .
    Date number three was cute, but it was painfully obvious that he wasn’t yet 25 as he claimed. In fact, Val suspected that he was still shy of his 18th. Apparently, he just had a big thing for older women. She stopped that date quickly – there was no way in hell that she wanted to get arrested. Jailbait.
    Date number four was just plain creepy. He wanted to know all about her, and not in a getting-to-know-you kind of way . His questions were just too inquisitive, and he seemed a little too interested in her and her
