PROTECTED BY THE WEREWOLF PIETRA
Pietra— Pietra, can you pass me my other spatula, please? I just dropped mine in that crevice.Alongside Professor Doyle, Ruth — the Senior Graduate Assistant—he chuckled as he eyed a deer skull through the theodolite. Two years ago, Ruth would be the one doing the fetching and picking things up from the farm, but now she was more experienced than I was, and I was the one chasing after our muddled-up teacher like a faithful dog.Sighing loudly—because my sigh would never be heard in the pouring rain outside the cavern—I stepped out from under the stone shelf I was using as a shelter, and walked through the opening straight into the pouring rain. This was the third trowel Frances had lost in that damn crevasse in as many days, and every time I braved the elements to replace it, the weather got worse.We kept all the site tools in a lockable chest outside the cave mouth, which meant I had to lie on my stomach and slide through a small hole while the muddy water trickled down my bra and

PIETRA“Professor Doyle is in the cave. I pointed to the cave entrance. “She doesn't leave until evening, and it's pretty tight in there anyway. If you want to talk to her, you'll have to wait until...— I have a job to do, and that job includes spot inspections of the work area. He gave me a challenging look, then walked to the cave entrance. I wanted to just walk away and let him work things out, but I was curious to see how the date with Frances would go. He would definitely make her put on a helmet.So I followed him back to the cave entrance, rubbing my arms through my shirt in an attempt to expel the strange heat tingling them. The guard knelt in front of the small hole, sticking one leg in first, then the other. I expected him to bump his huge, chiseled, cocky shoulders, but he managed to glide easily, the rain barely touching him. Sighing, I crouched down and slid in after him.By the time I reached the entrance, he was already treading water toward the farm, his face set in a
PROTECTED BY THE WEREWOLF JOSH
JOSHWow.Pietra SanDiir.Wow.The moment I got out of the car, her scent hit me like a brick wall. Light, floral and utterly delicious, she was like a rare flower blooming in a barren field. I knew from the moment her scent wafted through my nostrils that she needed to be mine.And acknowledging that was terrifying.As she walked through the woods towards me, panic rose in my chest. This should not happen. I went back to DownMoor through the caves. I was only here for one reason: to prevent any of my family's dark secrets from being brought to the surface once more, to ensure that my father could rest in peace without the past being re-evaluated. And now that the discovery of the site was made public, there was also the possibility that some other wolf would show up here, eager to claim my family's old territories. I had to be on guard. There could be no distractions.As I watched her nervously bite her lower lip, my cock springing to life, I knew Pietra SanDiir would be a huge distra

04JOSHAn hour later, I was lying on my inflatable mattress, my stomach growling and a pile of field notes on my chest that I should have been studying. But instead I was looking at the ceiling and thinking about Pietra.I was rude to her in the trailer when she offered me tea. I was even more rude trying to get information from her about the site. I even flirted with her a bit, just to see how she would react. Surely, she must feel the same energy between us, the same deadly attraction.Well, Pietra could be my partner, but she certainly didn't know that. She was a shy little thing, always biting her lip instead of saying what was on her mind. Normally, I would never be interested in a girl like that, so eager to please, so desperate to be loved that she never disagreed with anyone. I could tell she wanted to tell me to fuck myself with my attitude, or fuck her with my cock. But instead, she apologized.And then, when I cornered her about her bracelet, she burst into tears and ran a

05JOSHYou have no idea, I thought sadly, marveling at the fate of this conversation. I pointed to the crumpled cover of the book.— So you've had this book since you were fourteen?Petra shook her head.'I bought this copy from a used bookstore in DownMoor. My father gave me a beautiful hardcover copy for my fourteenth birthday. But I wouldn't bring it somewhere. My books are precious, especially my father's.“A woman who speaks to my heart.She smiled then, a genuine smile that made my heart flutter against my stomach.- Oh yes?"I have a little cabin in Sherwood Forest," I explained. “I go there when I'm not working. It's very small and very basic. There is no cell reception and you have to shower in a small stream outside. But I keep all my books there.In my head, I pictured her sitting beside me in front of the fire, her feet on my knees as she leaned back on the sofa, a book open on her lap, those adorable glasses on her nose.I haven't been back to the cabin since Dad died.

06PIETRAJosh spun around, the light from his flashlight temporarily blinding me.— Pietra, you scared me.“I can say the same thing,” I said, suddenly nervous. Not twenty minutes ago, I was snuggled in bed, trying to forget the way Josh smiled at me when I told him how much I love Heinlein's books. I was asleep, imagining what it would be like to kiss his soft lips… but then I realized I didn't have my book with me. Did I leave it in the trailer when I ran away from Josh, or did I leave it somewhere outside on the way to my tent?Damn it. That was the only book I brought to read. Without it, I would have to resort to talking to people. And, between Ruth's gross and disgusting thinking, Frances' inattentiveness, and Max's general weirdness, I wasn't too keen on that idea.I sighed and sat down to pull on my socks and boots. I was wide awake now, and the thought of the book soaking in a puddle outside was more than I could bear. It was just like I'd told Josh: my books were precious,

07PIETRA- Pietra. His husky voice rasped against my ears. His breath caressed my cheek. And then, he pressed his lips to mine.I pressed back. My entire body shot up with fire. It was like the kiss connected us through more than just our lips.Josh teased my lips, his tongue darting against mine, drawing me deeper into his embrace. His hand cupped my cheek, holding my head against his as if he couldn't bear to break the connection. His other hand burned against my back.In the darkness, every touch, every sensation was out of control. It burned around me, a star going supernova, trailing a line of fire through my universe.I threaded my fingers through her hair, pulling it out of the ponytail and enjoying the way the silky strands fell across my fingers. I've never been with a guy who had long hair before. Ben's hair had been his number two standard cut… no, I didn't want to think about Ben. Not now.Too late. Ben's face was dancing in my vision. That carefree smile he wore when he
PROTECTED BY THE WEREWOLF 08
JoshAfter my date with Pietra, I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned, my body screaming with desire for her.The connection between us called me to her, and I did everything I could to stop myself from opening my tent flap and running naked across the field to find her.It probably wouldn't be the best view if Frances and Ruth caught me.I expected the kiss to dissipate some of the sexual tension between us, but instead, it all escalated. But as soon as her body stiffened, I realized we had to stop. I knew it was a bad idea. For her, who had to swallow Professor Doyle to get her grades, and because there was clearly something in her past that made her wary around me, and for me, who needed to be on high alert for the presence of other wolves, and so I could find and destroy the paintings. Which would be difficult as long as Pietra was keeping an eye on me.But maybe now she would pull away. It took everything in me to pull away from her, and I could see the disappointment and embarra
