his hair. “I’m sure your dad wouldn’t do anything to put them in danger.” Or at least Josef hoped not.

Cole knew he should tell his mate about the threats upon his family’s pack, but he himself didn’t have all the facts. This could all be a big misunderstanding that his father had blown out of proportion, and now his two brothers were left picking up the pieces. But Cole couldn’t say for sure because he left before these problems started.

“Hey, you okay?” Josef cupped the side of his face, and Cole nuzzled into the touch. “Looks like you’ve seen a ghost or something.”

“No, not a ghost, just my worrisome nature.” Cole smiled at his mate.

“Well I can help you take your mind off of things.” Josef’s hands fell to grip Cole’s ass. “If you want,” Josef said in a seductive voice.

He couldn’t help it. Cole began to laugh. His big strong mate was trying to seduce him, and it was cute. Josef batted his eyelashes and wiggled his hips closer to Cole’s. God, how he loved this man.

“What’s so funny?” Josef pouted.

“Nothing.” Cole shook his head as he tried to swallow his laughter. “I just love you so much.”

Cole was still giggling when Josef’s silence had him looking up at his mate’s shocked face.

“You love me?” Josef asked.

He didn’t mean to just blurt it out, but it was the honest truth. Cole loved Josef from the moment he laid eyes on him. There was no use denying it.

“Yeah, I do.” He ran the back of his knuckles along Josef’s jawline. “Does that scare you?”

“Fuck no,” Josef said with a smile. “I’ve seen my friends find their mates, and I never quite understood the whole love-at-first-sight thing, but after meeting you I could swear I’ve loved you forever. It’s like when we met it just awakened what was already there.”

Cole nodded his agreement. He liked the way Josef worded it. It was as if his life had been on hold until he met his mate. Josef filled him with such happiness and completeness Cole wasn’t sure how he survived before meeting the man. “I agree,” he simply said.

He opened wide when Josef dove back in for a hard kiss. Their tongues battled back and forth in the most sensual of ways. This man owned him heart and soul, and Cole never wanted to lose this feeling he felt right now. All his problems with his father and stress over his brothers’ safety seemed not as heavy on his shoulders because he had Josef at his side to help bear the load.

Chapter Ten

When they got back to the house with all his belongings from his apartment they sat down for a family dinner with Josef’s family. Afterward they all went for a run in the woods. It was fun to just run free and play with the others. Aiden, being the only human in the house, sat in a lounge chair and watched from the patio. When they came back from their run, Devon let out a series of barks and nudged his furry head in Aiden’s direction, and Cole could have sworn he saw the wolf grin.

They all took off and rushed toward Aiden. The human was caught off guard and screamed like a girl when they surrounded him. “You jerks, you made me spill my tea.”

Cole took in his surroundings. This was fun for him. No pressure to fit in. These men definitely marched to the beat of their own drum when it came to pack life. Hell they even had a white tiger in the pack, Shane.

He sat back on his haunches, not ready to shift back. The night was too serene to go back inside just yet. Josef came over to him and sat beside him. His mate’s fur was black as midnight. Just like the hair on his human head.

Josef nudged him in the shoulder with his snout, and Cole was held captive by his big brown eyes. They were so soft and inviting. Cole felt himself fall in love all over again.

“Well, guys, we’re calling it a night,” Devon called out. “My mate requires a little alone time if you know what I mean.” He winked.

“You are such an ass, you know that?” Aiden chided his mate.

“But, honey, we all know what happens after a hard run. Things get hard in the bedroom.”

Cole watched as Devon drew Aiden in for a kiss. He shouldn’t have been watching, but it was kind of hard to look away. He felt his cock twitch, and he had to agree with Devon’s assessment. Shifting did cause a yearning of sorts, and when a person had a mate they could expend all that energy with their lover.

Aiden waved a quick good-bye and let his mate lead him back into the house. Viktor and Shane didn’t bother shifting back, just ran through the front door and out of sight. The gray wolf, Erik, took off across the back yard and disappeared into the night. Skyler had left after dinner, so he didn’t partake in the run. So that just left him and Josef alone on the patio with nothing but the stars above them and mother nature surrounding them.

Cole looked up at the sky one last time then turned toward his mate. He licked his tongue across Josef’s nose. His mate gave him a wet kiss back then nodded his head toward the back door.

Shifting back, Cole strode in all his naked glory to the door, giving an extra sway of his hips with every step. He heard a low howl coming from his mate. He turned in time to see Josef shift into his human body. A look of pure lust lit up Josef’s face, and he took eager steps to reach
