Wolf's Run: A BBW Shifter Romance Read Free Page B

unofficially renamed it. Yeager shut the bike down, climbed off and helped me off the motorcycle as well. “Most girls get a little freaked out when they ride their first time,” he said.
    “I don’t know why, but it was amazing. I wasn’t afraid at all,” I said as I took off the helmet and shook my raven-black hair. I used to wear it straight, the way it naturally grew, but now I wore it with loose curls nearly half way down my back. “So, what is it you wanted to tell me?” I asked.
    “You get right to the point, don’t you?” Yeager said as he reached out and took a lock of my hair in his hand. He held it between his thumb and forefinger as if savoring the sensation. “You’re even more beautiful than I imagined, Cassie. Every moment I spend with you makes me sure you’re the one,” he said inhaling deeply and closing his eyes.
    “The one?” I asked a bit amused at his dramatic statement. Again, my radar should have gone off but it didn’t. I was more curious than anything.
    “I’m sorry, that is probably a bit creepy isn’t it?” he told me. I nodded in agreement even if I didn’t feel that way. “I’ve been waiting a long time, seven years, to talk to you. You’ve become a beautiful woman, Cassie. Everything I could have hoped for,” he told me. Even though I didn’t feel threatened, his words were a bit unnerving
    “You’re kind of freaking me out, Yeager. You said you saw me seven years ago. You said you’ve been watching me. That’s not normal. What’s the deal?” I asked. Yeager took my hand and led me down from the road towards the lake. I went despite his ominous words. There we found some rocks by the water and he invited me to sit. The situation wasn’t lost on me, that we were totally alone. Neither was the fact that I didn’t find it alarming, that I had come here willingly and still didn’t feel the least bit afraid. A little weirded out but not afraid. I needed to find out who Yeager was.
    “I’ve practiced this a million times over the last seven years and it’s still all wrong. Damn, you’d think I could have figured it out by now. Look, Cassie, I’m just going to say it. I’ve been waiting for so long and I can’t wait anymore. Consequences be damned,” he said. I could tell he wasn’t trying to be dramatic. He was genuinely twisted up inside over whatever he was about to say.
    “Look, I can handle it. Just say it. How bad could it be?” I assured him. I felt sympathy for him. I barely questioned the depth with which I felt it but the feelings were strong. I hurt alongside him and there was little doubt his pain was profound. I could see it in his eyes, feel it in his words. I smiled warmly to let him know everything would be fine and then took his hand. “It’s OK,” I told him. Yeager smiled down at me and nodded but I had no idea what was coming. I expected him to reveal he was a long lost uncle, a former lover of my mom’s, anything but what he said.
    “This is the hard part. I have faith everything will work out as it should, but it’s still hard. Cassie, I’m...I’m a shifter,” he told me. I waited for more but Yeager seemed to think that would mean something to me. It didn’t.
    “A shifter?” I asked, puzzled at what that meant.
    “Fuck, this is so hard. I...I...,” he stammered. I squeezed his hand to lend him strength, amazed at how vulnerable he seemed. “I’m a shape shifter, a changeling. I’m a man like any other most of the time but I can change. I can become something else. I can become a wolf,” he said. I stared at him and then a moment later I burst out in laughter expecting him to join me.
    “God, I thought you were serious for a moment,” I said but Yeager’s eyes told me this wasn’t a joke. The moonlight let me see him well enough to tell he was serious and I stopped laughing when he didn’t join in. “You’re not joking, are you?” I asked. He believed what he said even if I couldn’t.
    “No,” was all he
