ANN POV

"Come on, Ann. It will be fun. We haven't gotten to do anything fun recently," Claire begs again, and I sigh before looking at her.

She has been hounding me for hours about going on the triple date Carmen somehow arranged, but I keep refusing. I don't want anyone forcing Finley to go out with me. I have some pride. I am a decent looking woman. I don't need a man giving me some kind of pity date his friend organized.

"We went to a pretty cool BBQ three days ago, I would call that recently," I say to be snarky, and she glares at me for a second before responding.

"It's going to be fun. Work has been our life for months... Plus, I am nervous, and I would like my best friend to have my back on this one," Claire says, pulling out the big guns.

We have a quick and silent stare-down, but she knows she won. I won't go against her needing me. This is her first official date with Lewis, and if she says she needs me there, I will be there.

"Fine. But for me tonight isn't a date. Finley

  • The Gray Ranch   Kiss Goodnight

    BOYD POV She stumbles again and I tighten my grip around her waist before pressing the button for her floor. "We did it. We are going to be business partners," she slurs, and I nod while sending the human male watching her an intimidating glare. His eyes have been on her body since we walked up to the elevator to wait with him and it is pissing me off. "Stan knows a good deal when he sees one," I say trying to keep her from disclosing too much with a human this close to us. She nods and leans into me. She runs her hand across my chest, which sends a bolt of excitement straight through me that pushes the annoying male to the back of my mind in an instant. "You are so strong," she whispers and I beam down at her. "Ranching builds the muscles whether I want it to or not," I say nonchalantly trying to hide how happy I am she is complimenting my chest. She nods and continues to slide her hand all over my upper torso. The elevator door dings and slides open. I try to

  • The Gray Ranch   Tipsy

    MELISSA POV I blush as I watch Boyd order me a beer from the pretty bartender. I didn't have the courage to go order it myself and he had prevented me from embarrassing myself by volunteering. The second we stepped into this loud room, I felt small and out of place. I had practically wilted into his side like we were on a date. He had acted like a gentleman, though, and didn't make a big deal out of my closeness. Instead, he had led me to a table, told me to have a seat, and asked me what I wanted from the bar. Now I am sitting at the table chewing my bottom lip and trying not to seem too awkward or embarrassed. As Boyd begins to head back with my drink, I force myself to discreetly look around, and I am shocked to see that Boyd was right, the place is packed with ranchers from today's sale. Most of whom seem merry and engrossed in conversation with each other, but a few are sitting alone, drinking, looking beaten down. They are probably the ones who were outbid and are rethinking

  • The Gray Ranch   Drinks

    BOYD POV I silently help load the five yearlings into the cattle trailer while trying to discreetly watch Missy. She is trying to act as if she is looking over the heifers' papers while standing next to the holding pen, but her cheeks are red so I know she is aware of my glances. Besides, the way Hank described it she should know all the words on those papers by now. Hank locks the back and sends Missy a wave bye that she acknowledges with a nod. Larry jumps into the passenger seat without a backward glance and I step back so they can pull away. After they round the corner, I look over toward her again, and her flawless skin makes me want to run my fingers gently down her cheek. She is a beautiful woman and I shouldn't have made myself look like a jackass earlier. I shove my hands in my pockets and walk toward her. I know getting her to agree to sit down and talk is going to be hard. She has been avoiding me since this morning, but I have to try and make amends. "Now that the ca

  • The Gray Ranch   Pep Talk

    MELISSA POV Who the hell does he think he is? Acting like I was trying to flirt with him to get what I want, as if. Yes, he is a good-looking guy, but he is a shifter. Shifters have mates. They are off limits. Besides I am not interested. My focus is on our herd. I huff as I stomp into the women's bathroom to splash water on my heated face. I have no idea why my cheeks are so warm, but I can't focus because of it. I splash two handfuls of cold water on my face before looking into the mirror above the sink to stare at myself. The wheels in my head are turning faster than I like and I don't know how to slow them down. This has never happened to me. I have met rude condescending cowboys before, but Boyd is getting to me. His cocky smile and chiseled jaw have me off my game and I can't let that happen. This is my first auction. These next three days will determine whether or not our calving season will be lucrative or not and Boyd is messing with my head. I just met the irritating

  • The Gray Ranch   Bossy

    I stretch my arms up over my head and groan when my hip hits the base for the seat belt. I don't remember sleeping in a vehicle being this uncomfortable. Must be my age coming into factor. I open the back passenger door and jump out. My inner spirit begs me to shift and take a run in order to stretch out my body properly, but I ignore the impulse. The grounds will be crawling with humans soon, and if anyone sees a wolf around a stockyard full of prey animals, I would be as good as dead. I get the horses their breakfast and make sure their water is still at a good level before grabbing my bag and heading for the restroom to get cleaned up. The first day of the auction starts at 10am and it will involve the sale of the yearlings I brought. Hopefully, they sell for a good price and we make up the cost of the new bull with their sale. Cows and calves as pairs will be for sale tomorrow and the last day will be for the bulls. If I hadn't brought the yearlings, I could have come down l

  • The Gray Ranch   Childhood

    MELISSA POV I lick my lips nervously as the other kids eye me again. The human. The non-shifter. The kid that is smaller and weaker than everyone else. I have lived here for five years and the other kids still haven't really accepted me. I wish they would. I like playing games. I like drawing and singing songs just like they do, but I never get asked to join in. They just look at me weirdly and make me feel shy. "Melissa," our teacher says as she sits down next to me on the wooden bench. I look up at her and she gives me a small smile. "Sitting by yourself again? Do you not want to play," she asks as the other kids turn away and run off for the open field. "No. I like sitting," I lie and she sighs. "You don't have to be shy, Sweetheart. The others know you're human. They will take it easy on you," she says gently, and for some reason, I feel anger bubble up inside of me. I don't need them to take it easy on me. I can run and kick a ball just like they can. I do it at hom
