Legacy of the Wolf novel Chapter 4

Mj could feel her ears turn hot and her cheeks flush and now she was furious. “What the hell gave this man the right?” She thought and decided to try an old trick she learned in her early years as a bartender. Some drunk asshole would make an advance more than once or confront her in the parking lot after shift when she was alone and she couldn't always overpower them physically, a few times they had grabbed her and she couldnt get free and had actually started to panic. But for whatever reason Mj always just became very calm and focused like she knew exactly what to do to get herself free of the situation. She had figured out that most of the time all these dirty fuckers wanted was to grope her and for her to just accept it, so she figured out a way to fool them.

Mj calmed her mind and relaxed her body, she pushed herself softly into the chest of the man holding her and relaxed all muscles except the ones in her calves and feet. She looked up and found the small black spot in the center of his eye, offering sweetly. “Can you at least loosen your grip a little so I can breath” she bit the bottom of her lip as she realized what she said actually sent small bursts of what felt like electricity through her entire body,” whoa!” She thought “I should have been an actress. I'm so good!”

To her surprise he did loosen his grip but only enough for her to move her arms out of his and it's only then did she realize just how massive this man's forearms actually were, her heart skipped in her throat shen she realized she was now softly stroking his arms with her fingertips. “Did he just purr?”She wondered to herself.

He was surprised at her forwardness all the sudden and to his amazement he realized what was happening. He felt the small jolts of electricity travel through his body and on instinct alone the beast within him purred with excitement. “It couldn't be true,” he thought, he was so old already and had not found a mate he had already accepted the fact that the moon had not meant for him to share his life with another. “After all, what kind of life was his to share?” To his horror and dismay, the beast inside him momentarily took over and spoke. “MINE” he purred so low it was almost a growl.

He let her move just a little and she looked up at him and he couldn't help himself, he leaned forward to inhale her and tucked his head in the crook of her neck. Unlike most of the women he had met in his time there was nothing false to cover her scent. It was clean and sweet and the only falsity about it was the scent of shampoo. He didn't mind though, it was natural for humans to use scented cleaning products on themselves. “How sweet she must be,” he thought to himself.

“Are you fucking serious” Mj thought, “did he just smell me?” This was the last straw, she traced her fingers up his arms and around his neck. She cupped One side of his face with her hand so she could get a better vantage point.

“Unbelievable,” he thought, “she was accepting him?” He knew she was human because he couldn't smell wolf on her and he was pretty sure she wasn't aware of who he was because of the way she spoke to him earlier. “Could their natural attraction be that strong already?” He wondered. How much he wanted to just take her into the woods, mark her and keep her hidden from anyone but himself for the rest of her life. His bliss was interrupted by the sudden loss of his balance, all at once he found himself flying head over feet and landing on his back. “Did she really just flip him” he thought?
