Furever Mated (BBW Paranormal Shifter Romance) Read Free

would end up more times than not being a mat that people walked all over.
    Scarlett paid the check for her wine, and as she left the restaurant she sent a text to her best friend Blair.

    H e stood me up . Again. I am so done with this bullshit. I ended it.

    W hat an asshole ! Congrats on finally growing a pair and taking control. He isn’t worth your time. I’m coming over with wine to celebrate.

    N o , you don’t need to do that. I’m just going to curl up on the couch and watch a movie.

    Y ou sure ?

    Y eah , I’m sure. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

    S carlett shut down her phone before Blair could talk her out of it. She knew that Blair was only trying to make her feel better, but at that moment Scarlett just wanted to be alone. She didn’t want to see the look in Blair’s eyes, telling her I told you so . Blair had warned her about Adam from the beginning, and Scarlett had ignored her. She had been too caught up in the relationship and fell too quickly for a man that would never actually love her back. That had always been Scarlett’s problem when it came to relationships. She always fell too hard too fast. Blair had warned her so many times to not rush her feelings, but Scarlett couldn’t help it. She was a true romantic at heart.
    Scarlett changed into her favorite sweatpants and comfy t-shirt and put in her favorite romantic comedy. Deep down she knew she was stupid to believe in true love and fairytales, especially after her experience with Adam, but a part of her wanted to believe that the fairy tale actually existed.

    Kurt
    “ I told you , Frank, I’m not interested.” Kurt let out of huff of air and set down his beer bottle. His grizzly growled inside of him, and he ran his hands through his slightly wavy brown hair. Kurt and the rest of the clan were sitting in the common room they shared in the manor. “Come on, man,” Frank said. “It is just a vacation. What is the worst that could happen?” Kurt let out a forced laugh. Just a vacation, he thought. More like a setup for gold-digging women to hook up with wealthy shifters.
    Frank and the rest of the clan had signed up to participate in Furever Mate at Bear Ridge Resort, an all-expenses-paid vacation where wealthy shifters were paired up with willing human women in the hopes of finding their true mate. Kurt thought it was a pile of crap. Even the name sounded cheesy as hell. Hundreds of these types of things had started over the last few years now that shifters were out in the open. How his clan thought this would be a good idea he would never understand.
    “You really think that you are going to find your mate at something like this, Frank?” Kurt asked. “I mean, come on, it looks like the set of the fucking Bachelor.”
    Frank let out a laugh. “No, I don’t think I will actually find my mate. But I know I will probably find some great ass that is more than willing to get into my pants, and who can pass that up?

How many times in your life do you get to say you stayed on an exclusive island?” The rest of the clan sitting around the room let out a roar of laughter, and a few of them high-fived Frank.
    Kurt let out a small smile. He had once been as carefree when it came to love as the rest of them. Now, however, he had no interest in finding a piece of ass. He was content where he was. His shot at love was already destroyed, and he was fairly sure he couldn’t truly love again, so there was no sense in trying to fake it for some slut wanting cash.
    “There is no way in hell I’m going,” Kurt said. “If you guys are that desperate for ass, which from the sounds in your room every night, Frank, I highly doubt you are, go on without me. You don’t want me there anyway, I would just bring you all down.”
    Frank looked at the other clan mates and then back at Kurt and cleared his throat.
    “Here’s the thing,” Frank said. “We can’t go unless you do.”
    “What the
