hair and the bike vibrating beneath me, I feel at peace and I can’t imagine anything feeling better.
     
    The minute I pulled up to Ziggy’s diner, I knew something was wrong. My wolf was on edge but I just couldn’t pinpoint why.
    I stepped into the glass doors and made my way to a tall stool at the front counter lining the restaurant. The place was more vacant than I remember it being, but I was fine with it, knowing I’d have less distractions.
    “Hey, Beau!” Jack made his way around the corner, his long curly black hair poofed up and moving up and down with each step. Being so busy with pack stuff, I never got to hang out with him much, and it was nice getting to see him again. As he rounded the corner, he shoved a pretty waitress with blond hair in my direction, telling her to get back to work.
    I opened my mouth to respond to Jack and the waitress stumbled in front of me, nearly falling face first onto the tile. I didn’t think, just acted as I reached out to help steady the poor girl. She regained her footing and, with my next breath, my wolf was on the verge of release, her scent surrounding me. She smelled of mint and fresh air, more intoxicating than anything I’d ever come across before.
    It spoke to me.
    I urged my wolf to calm, which only resulted in a small growl escaping my lips. I’d hoped she had missed it but given the sudden confusion that flickered across her face, I knew she’d heard. I didn’t want to let go of her arm, content to stand there and just breathe her in for as long as I could, but I knew she was human. With a very quick and swift motion, I let go of her and stepped back. She seemed almost hurt that I let go and I wasn’t sure what to make of that fact.
    “H-h-hi, I’m Jules. I’ll be your waitress today. Can I get you something to drink while you look over the menu?”
    I could see the apparent nervousness in her and it pleased me to know that I’d had an effect on her, as she had with me. I couldn’t keep myself from staring, looking over the girl in front of me.
    She was taller than most females, her body slender with legs that extended endlessly. Large aqua blue eyes that shimmered when she smiled were brought out even more by the blue streaks in her hair, wavy strands cascading from the messy bun on her head. With an angular face, sharp cheekbones and a small button nose, it struck me just how pretty she really is.
    “Uh... An ice water would be nice. Thank you,” I spoke, clearing my throat from the sudden dryness.
    “Oh, okay. I’ll go grab it and will be right back. In the meantime, take a look at the menu and let me know if you need anything.”
    Jules rushed out of the room faster than I would have liked, not to mention she did the one thing that was sure to drive me wild. She ran. My wolf wanted to go in for the chase, to catch her and show her who was boss. If tasting her and cuddling her was part of that, even better.
    Where did that thought come from? She’s human. Not happening.
    I knew I was attracted to the beautiful waitress but I pushed all those feelings aside. Even if I wanted to, I could never act on those emotions. It wouldn’t work out. Humans and Werewolves never date or mate. It just didn’t happen.
    The wolf inside of me is carnal. He sees things in black and white, always clear. My wolf is fierce, protective, dominant, and aggressive. On the other hand, the human part of me sees every color, every emotion. I sympathize, fear, hope, and, without a doubt, question everything. My human half compliments that of my wolf side, but they also clash. This moment with Jules was definitely one of those times.
    I knew walking out and never seeing her again was the right thing to do. Just letting her live her life in peace and happiness was something every human deserves, including her.
    My wolf wanted more than anything to bring her into my arms, drag her to the reservation and spend time cuddling and getting to know her as a person, but it was
