Chapter 28
Thane
Maybe licking frosting off of Ayla’s finger wasn’t subtle and probably inappropriate as her acting alpha, but it naturally happened before I could stop myself. If Cyrus find out, I will never hear the end of it. Little wolf was definitely thinking about me last night judging by her bright red cheeks I love seeing, but now I have a shirtless, 20 pack having Cyrus walking with another shirtless, 20 pack having Damon towards Ayla’s side of the car and I find myself wrestling with intense feelings of jealousy. Ronan is on high alert, my eyes flashing gold more times than I can count, causing me to really wrestle him for control, He clearly doesnt want them around little wolf, which is strange since public nudity isn’t a taboo in the shifter world, and at least these two have pants on. Gray sweatpants in fact, leaving nothing to the imagination. Damn it. I should just drive off. I also shouldn’t care.
Well, well, well, what is a babe like you getting chauffeured around by a guy like him? Wouldn’t you rather I give you a ride sweetheart. You can compare notes, see who does it better?” He smugly asks Ayla, but to her credit she just stares down at her hands, fiddling with her finger nails. “Shut the hell up Cyrus. Ayla doesn’t need you perving on her this early in the morning, or at all.” “Relax, I’m teasing her. You know, a joke. Joking. You should lighten up and try it sometime. Maybe pull that stick out of your a…” “I am light.” I growl at him, causing Ayla to grin in between us. “See little wolf, he is growly. Angry. Actually, he pretty much is always in a foul mood unless you are around him. Maybe you should plan on sticking around and save us all from his moods.” He leans into the car, his arm resting on the top of the SUV, dimples on full display while he rubs his hands down his abs. Damn this guy. “Don’t call her that. Her name is Ayla and get your shifter sex hormones away from her window,” “No can do, your excellence. I radiate shifter sex hormones. I have no control over them really. Everywhere I go, they radiate off of me, luring in the females one after another. Or three by three like yesterday.” he winks at Ayla causing her to blush. No. That’s my job. Time to wrap this up.
Damon, how are the new pups looking today?” I quickly change the subject. “They are looking great alpha. Nice form. Little Curt has natural tracking instincts. More so than the others. I think he will be pretty useful along the border in a few years.” “Good. Make sure you do some tracking exercises during the week with him then. Hide some things in the forest and time him. Give me a full report so we can watch his progress and compare.” “Can do alpha.” Damon turns and walks back to the training arena leaving us and Cyrus, who for some reason decides to climb into the back seat of the car. “What do you think you are doing?” “What? I am bored, and I am going with you two. Someone needs to supervise you two and make sure you don’t do anything inappropriate.” Ayla coughs and I quickly turn to the back seat. “You are the king of inappropriate, now get the hell out and go pay our prisoner a visit. Meet me in my office in a couple of hours.” “Yeah, yeah fine. See you later Ayla. Let me know if you feel like learning about my inappropriateness later.” he winks and climbs out of the SUV while I am growling and killing him with my glare. I pull out of the parking and Ayla leans her phone over for me to see that she has typed ‘he really enjoys pushing your buttons.” “Yeah, he does enjoy pushing them, and stay away from his inappropriateness. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten half the pack pregnant yet.” She just shakes her head and I smile at her. I am really enjoying seeing her lighter, happier.
