Meryn jumped up when the door shut and tried to open it. Dammit, she was locked in. She ran to the window and looked down, she was at least three stories up so jumping out was impossible. She was about to turn back to the room when she saw that man that had grabbed her from the fence run into the backyard. She watched as he began to strip out of his clothing. He really did have a great ass. That was when she began to think that one of the military guys slipped her some hallucinogenics, because one second he was a man with a fine ass the next he was a huge dog running into the woods.
She stumbled back from the window, tripped over an expensive looking rug and fell flat on her butt. She was in a world of shit now. Fact one. The big guy that growled and brought her back here had to be one of the sexiest men she had ever seen in her life. In fact all of the men were gorgeous, but there was something about that hulking brute that just made her want to snuggle up and take a nap…after a long afternoon of hot sex. Fact two. At least one guy here turned into a dog. Fact three. No one seemed all that concerned that she had been taken, so help was probably not on it’s way. She was on her own. Why did all the crazy stuff happen to her? Did she just attract crazy shit?
She heard the door open and the big guy walked in slowly before shutting the door. She stood and backed up until her back hit the wall. He held up his hands.
“I’m not going to hurt you.” His deep voice should be outlawed.
“I’m sure that’s what all the serial killers say to their victims.” She eyed the lamp on the nightstand.
“I just want to talk.” His words were careful and he spoke in gentle tones.
“I suppose you want to talk about your dog people.” She edged closer to the nightstand.
“Dog people? Oh, you saw Colton. Right. How do I explain this?” He rubbed the back of his neck, his face taking on a sheepish expression. If he weren’t her abductor she would say he looked adorable.
“Start with the dog thing.” She suggested.
“Colton is one of the men in the unit that I serve with. Each man on the unit is a little different than most people. Colton happens to be a shifter, he can turn into a wolf.”
Meryn blinked. Then blinked again. Without looking away she ran her fingers over the heavy looking lamp base.
“So you’re a wolf?” She asked, not really wanting to know the answer. He looked startled.
“No way.” She let out a relieved breath.
“I’m a bear.” She closed her eyes.
“Why me? Why does this shit always happen to me?” When she opened her eyes he had moved a little closer. She tensed. He leaned in and sniffed her hair.
“Are you sniffing me?” She asked incredulously?
“I want to be sure. Let me ask you something, are you drawn to me?” His eyebrows were bunched together as he frowned down at her.
“Do you mean do I want to have hot, sweaty sex with you?” She asked.
“No! Wait. Do you?”
“Not answering that.”
“Do you know about animals?”
“I guess I know what most people know.”
“Do you know that wolves mate for life?”
“So do swans.” She had seen that on National Geographic. He looked surprised.
“They do? Really?” She nodded.
“Yup.”
“I never knew that.”
“What was your point?”
“Sorry, got distracted. The point is that people like me and Colton, we get one mate in life, like wolves in the wild. You are my mate.” He smiled down at her. Oh god he wanted to mate with her! She grabbed the lamp and pulled the wire from the socket.
“Is this some freaky ass cult??” She threw the lamp as hard as she could at him. She smiled in satisfaction when it bounced off his head. The satisfaction was short lived when he turned his irritated gaze her way. She jumped on the bed and kept going until she backed into the corner with the second nightstand at her back and the king size mattress between them.
“I won’t become part of the collective, I refuse to have your babies. Resistance isn’t futile!” She screamed and picked up the second lamp. He turned and fled the room. Breathing hard, she put the lamp down with shaking hands. He seemed to run from objects thrown at him. She decided she needed to search the room and bathroom for more projectile objects. Feeling better that she had even a small plan she got to work.

Lol, love it. So looking forward to this series. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. It's so nice to see a sense of humor, so many books out there want to make everything doom & gloom.

[Kim]

I agree Julie! But sounds like we don't need to worry about a lack of humour with Meryn as the lead lady :)

[Kim]

Anyone else wondering just how tall Aiden is supposed to be? :)
