Excerpt:
“I’m a cougar. A cougar on the prowl.”
Lexi and Bay Jamenson cracked up laughing, almost falling off the bed they were sitting on surrounded by piles of discarded dresses and pants, but Emeline didn’t find it funny. Oh no. Not at all.
The two of them were her friends. An odd thing to say after so many years of staying within the elder community of eight or so wolves who had grown bored of each other ages ago. Now Bay and Lexi were there to help her dress for her date with Noah.
Her date.
With Noah.
Goddess, what had she been thinking?
“I’m a cougar, ladies. Isn’t that what it’s called? Some past-her-prime woman who chases after young men so she can have her way with them before tossing them away for a younger version? They want all that virility and energy, and want to remember what it’s like to be youthful. A cougar. I’m a cougar.”
“Oh, honey, please stop calling yourself a cougar,” Lexi said, tears streaming from her eyes.
Emeline put her fists on her hips and scowled. “That’s what I am, aren’t I?”
“No, Emeline, you’re a wolf,” Bay said, clearly trying not to smile and failing badly. “A female wolf about to go on a date with a very sexy male wolf. Stop calling yourself a cougar. Though, oh my god, that’s hilarious.”
