Forbidden Seduction (Lee County Wolves Series) Book #2 Read Online Free Page A

absolutely enraged; his teeth gritted and eyes focused on the men behind her. Holy shit, this man was coming to challenge Garrett, and she was right smack in the middle of it.
    “No need to draw innocents into this.” Garrett, who continued to remain calm, tilted his head staring at the man.
    “These innocents are soon going to be under Darnell Waters control, so I think it’s a real good idea for them to see who is weak and who is strong.” The man’s gaze went straight to Emily, his eyes roaming up and down her body. “And I can’t wait to start meeting them.”
    Horrified, Emily watched the man as he licked his lips before giving her a lewd wink. Hunter’s growl sounded terrifying as she was yanked behind him.
    Hunter snorted, but his eyes were narrowed dangerously. “The only thing you’re going to be meeting is my fucking fist down your throat, Darnell .” Hunter took a step toward the man but stopped when Garrett threw out his arm, hitting Hunter in the chest.
    The man laughed again. “Ah, look who it is. So, pup,” the man sneered the insult, “how does it feel to single-handedly out the shifter community?”
    “Not as good as when I kick your ass out of this town, motherfucker,” Hunter sneered back.
    “She’s pregnant,” one of the men stated as Janna stepped out from behind Garrett.
    “Not too smart, are they?” Emily snorted, then frowned at the man who growled at her.
    “Well hell, how about I make you a deal.” The leader smiled, his eyes leaving Janna’s stomach to look up at Garrett. “If you concede all claim of this pack, in turn making me the alpha, I will assure all of your people will remain unharmed and let your mate leave with you. You have to admit, that’s more than fair considering how small of a pack you have.”
    When Garrett’s eyes only narrowed, the man’s whole demeanor changed.
    “If you do not concede, I will break every single member of this pack as well as making your mate my whore and the child will be raised a bastard.” The smile the man gave was pure evil. “So those are your choices.”
    “What do you think of those choices, bro?” Hunter didn’t even look Garrett’s way; instead, his body tensed, waiting for what was to come.
    “Take Emily and go into the house,” Garrett ordered Janna, his voice hard, controlled.
    “That’s what I thought.” Hunter’s smile was not friendly.
    Janna grabbed Emily’s hand pulling her toward the house. Emily allowed herself to be pulled but turned just in time to see a sinister grin light Hunter’s face.
    “Hurry up. All hell is about to break loose.” Janna jerked open the door tugging her inside. “And we don’t want to be anywhere near it.”
    “What if they need help?” Emily asked, as if she would be any help at all. Heading toward a window she peered out so she could see what was happening.
    “Us being out of the way so they can focus is help enough,” Janna said as she stood beside Emily.
    Glancing over at Janna, Emily saw the worry line her face. With her being away at college, she had just met Janna her first day back to town. They had become fast friends, but she was really worried about her. Her pregnancy so far had been hard on her, and it showed.
    “They’ve got this,” Emily reassured her, not knowing what else to say.
    Janna’s worried eyes left the men and looked at Emily, a small smile tipping her lips. “Yes, they do.”
    Emily nodded with the most confident grin she could muster and then grasped Janna’s trembling hand in hers before turning back toward the street. Her mind went back to the day Mike pulled her out from under her grandfather’s pickup, and she knew she was about to witness what she had missed that day. Automatically, her eyes sought out Hunter, and even as upset as she was with him, she said a small prayer that the ass would be okay.

    Hunter forced the shock of seeing Emily, who was obviously pissed at him, to the back of his mind. His main focus
