Page 31 of Her Big Bad Wolf
I had a mate?
How the hell was this even possible?
By all rights, I didn’t even exist. So how the hell had she found me and what was she doing dressed all in black snooping around my house?
All this time she’d been right there in the woods behind the barn?
Why hadn’t I smelled her or sensed her sooner?
None of it made sense.
I almost felt bad for destroying her temporary home—almost.
It didn’t matter that she was my mate. She had no business stealing from me and squatting there. None.
I roared in frustration out into the silent night. There was no change in movements. The animals of the area were used to me by now, even at my worse.
Somewhere way off into the distance, I heard the rumble of a vehicle and the squeal of tires as it sped away.
She had a car? Why the hell was she living out here if she had a damn car nearby?
None of it made sense.
Shaking my head and trying desperately to piece it all together, I walked back to the house.
I cringed as I passed her shelter, but didn’t feel that guilty knowing she had a car. She’d be warmer sleeping there anyway.
Trying to put the entire thing behind me, I forced myself not to hunt her down. Instead, I walked back to my houseand sat down in my chair wondering what the fuck had just happened.
My head hurt just trying to put it all together.
It wasn’t long though before I heard the crunch of tires on my gravel driveway.
My traitorous heart hoped it was her returning.
I watched the SUV pull up through the camera system. I knew that vehicle. It couldn’t be her.
Tarron’s hand was in the air ready to knock when I threw open the door.
“What do you want?” I growled.
“Someone was here.”
“No shit, Sherlock.”
“You went after them, didn’t you?”
“I did.”
“I thought Kyle asked you not to.”
“Clearly, I don’t listen very well.”
“Shit. What happened? He was dressed in all black, but looked too tall to be one of the boys we’re looking for.”
I scowled. “Why the hell are you watching my feed?”
“Orders. Why the hell do you think we agreed to put it in so quickly? We’re looking for those missing boys.”
