Bred by the Alpha (Breeding Season 3)

He’s not like anyone else.

Liam was still waiting, fussing with his dog as she sat back down.

She loved watching him with Alphie. It seemed so right the two of them together. Dog was after all man’s best friend.

“They’ll be out in a few minutes.”

“Do you have any pets yourself?” he asked.

“None at the moment. I’ve been working on getting my company up and running, and it’s been a full-time commitment.”

“I imagine being an editor is pretty intense.”

“Oh, believe me it can be. Everyone seems to think they’re an editor these days.”

“I’ll take your word for it.”

“What is it you do?”

He opened his mouth to answer, but the waitress came out.

Rebecca tried not to show how overwhelmed she was by the scent of the woman’s perfume. She was also thrusting her chest out, trying to catch Liam’s eye.

Mortified, Rebecca didn’t know where to look but found herself looking at Liam. The disgust on his face was clear to see. He didn’t want the woman’s flirting, and seeing that, she felt happier.

“I’m sorry about that,” Liam said after the waitress left.

“Don’t worry about it. You’re a good-looking guy.” Realizing what she said, her cheeks heated. “I mean, of course she’d want to flirt with you.”

“You think I’m good looking?” he asked. The smile he flashed her way should be illegal. Her panties went wet, and arousal flooded her body. She wanted him, and she’d never had such a strong and instant reaction before in her life.

A growl filled the air.

The strangest thing of all was she didn’t believe it came from his dog.

Tension seemed to grow, and she waited, sure that he’d been the one to growl at her like that. Why wasn’t she afraid?

With Liam, she knew she was safe.

“You know you’re good looking.” She changed the subject. “So, you’ve lived here all your life?”

“Yes.”

“Do the rumors bother you?”

“Rumors?”

“You know, about the wolves.” She’d heard the local gossip and myths about a pack of wolves that lived out in the forest. She loved wolves so much, not that she’d ever seen one herself.

“What about them?” Liam asked.

“You’ve lived here. You know, the rumor that men can change into them, or that they eat humans, or steal women to take to their lair.”

“Wow, they’re still talking about that shit?”

Again, his speech seemed to completely confuse her. “Still? How old are you?” she asked.

“I mean, my dad talked about them, you know. That’s what I meant.”
