The Witch and the Wolf: Part Two Read Free Page B

fairy?! Are you fucking kidding me?” Cross asked , kicking dirt again.
    “That’s actually really easy,” Rory said. “But don’t you dare call her a good fairy or she won’t help us.”
    Cross nodded. “They hate the f-word. Which is really fucking stupid if you ask me.”
    “It’s because of humans. Fairy sounds like a twinkling little sprite. Not too flattering if you’re a thousand -year-old, magic-wielding creature.”
    “Sure , ok. Get on the bike, Blondie. We got to get back to town before nightfall.”
    Rory climbed on behind him and wrapped her arms tightly around him. Ever since his wolf had claimed her, she was a lot less afraid of the bike. Thank god. It made it so much easier to pay attention to the road. They had spent a lot more time than he wanted to out in Sand Springs. He had to speed to get back into Sienna by nightfall.
    He headed for the supermarket. They had forgotten to pick up supplies that morning. He was getting real sick of diner food.
    “What do you want to eat tonight?” Rory asked as they walked through the produce section.
    “I don’t really care. I can cook just about anything though.”
    “Really? I thought a compound full of men would be ordering out pizza every night.”
    “Ha ha,” Cross said. “We don’t have ‘women’s work’ besides bearing pups and riding bitch.”
    Rory looked appalled. “Does that mean I’m the bitch in our situation?”
    “I wouldn’t say that,” Cross laughed. “It’s just what we call the back seat. No man would ride on back unless he was gravely injured, like right on death’s door.”
    “Whatever.” She looked at a box of pre-made pasta on the shelf. He could tell she was annoyed. He didn’t make up the term! She was so fucking moody.
    “I was thinking we could have steaks tonight. Since you love meat and all,” he suggested.
    “Works for me.  We can do baked potatoes too. Make it a whole manly-man meal.”
    “We gotta get some good whiskey too then.”
    She laughed. “Let’s not go too far. We are still in hiding from dangerous immortal creatures and werewolf bikers. I don’t think it’s a good time to get sloshed.”
    They grabbed meat and bread to make sandwiches for lunch and more breakfast foods. He wanted to get enough breakfast and lunch food for a few days , but she argued it wouldn’t all fit in her backpack. She was hoping to be home before they could use it all he figured. She didn’t need to say it. He could tell she was dreading going back to the cabin for the night. She was so anxious. He couldn’t wait to just get the mating over with. She was going to be so much calmer after.
    He paid for everything and they headed back to the cabin. As soon as they got back he started warming up the grill out back.
    “I’m going to shower, if that’s ok?” she said.
    “That’s fine. I’ll get in after dinner.”
    He stayed outside with the grill most of the time she was showering. If she was going to be up to her old tricks in the shower, he didn’t want to hear this time. It wouldn’t matter since the only way for her to truly get off was between his legs. Nothing else would work now that she had accepted his claim.
    He contemplated their situation while he made dinner. He had never heard of a witch being able to accept a wolf’s claim before. Neither could a fae as far as he had heard. Though, it’s not like either party would want it to get around if it had happened. They hadn’t told anyone yet. She wasn’t happy about it either. He expected most witches in her situation would feel the same.
    That alone made her different than other witches. She had magic potential off the charts too, not that she knew about that. As normal as she insisted she was, there was a lot more to Aurora Silver than met the eye. He really knew how to pick ‘em. Of all the wolves and humans he had ever met, he didn’t know how it was a witch, and one like her that, had to be his mate. Not that he was complaining. She was
