Despite the argument Arthur and I had this morning, I was very excited for what the day would bring. It’s not every day that you get to work with one of your heroes. And that’s exactly what Noah Cunningham was to me.I had spent hours trying to recreate his work. There was just something about his paintings that drew me in. I was hoping that as his assistant, I would learn a thing or two from him.Arthur had insisted on driving me to Noah’s house today. I had told him he didn’t have to, but he’d shut me down fast. He was a man who was used to getting what he wanted and I didn’t want to stir up trouble after last night.A blush spread across my face as I thought of last night. Arthur raised an eyebrow at me, a knowing smirk turning up the corners of his lips. Sometimes I hated being a wolf. It wasn’t fair that everyone knew when I was turned on.“Just say the word, little wolf, and I’ll give you what you want,” Arthur whispered and I shushed him, covering my hands with my face. Was he

After getting a few things set up at the gallery, I headed home with a heavy heart. I had admitted to myself that my feelings for Arthur were real and that they had developed into full blown love. I also knew that I was eventually going to get my heart broken…again.Then there were the feelings that were just starting to surface for Noah. He was charming, confident and we had so much in common. He was the artist that I most admired. And he was currently one of my bosses. Even if I weren’t with Arthur, that would be a recipe for disaster.If it makes you feel better, I will honor your choice. Arthur and Noah are both fine men. Both would make good mates, Lily said and I groaned inwardly. She would not let up.I won’t have a choice. Either Sofia will come back and that’s the end or I’ll get pregnant, have the baby and that’s the end. Arthur will never by my choice to make, I tell her for what feels the millionth time.Arthur may not be in love with you, but he likes you. And that will l

After shifting back, I decided to wait in Arthur’s office. I thought it would be better to ambush him here than out in the open. It probably wouldn’t go over too well with the rest of the pack if I started accusing their beta of wrongdoing.I fiddled with one of the ballpoint pens on his desk. Grabbing a spare piece of paper, I started mindlessly doodling. It helped take some of the edge off. I was completely nervous about the conversation we were going to have.I did not have to wait long. Arthur came in about ten minutes later, massaging the back of his neck with his hand. His eyebrows rose as he saw me in his chair.“I guess you couldn’t wait, little wolf. So impatient,” he chided, coming around the desk to kneel in front of me. He made a noise of appreciation as he took in the short skirt that I was wearing.“It’s not what you think,” I protested as he pressed a kiss against my calf. Just that small gesture already had my panties wet. I shifted uncomfortably in the chair. “I reall

When Arthur finally shifted back, he didn’t say much. He just pulled on some clothes from a hidden closet. I had expected a tirade so the silence was unsettling. I wanted to leave the office, but I was also scared that if I moved, it would set Arthur off.After what seemed like hours, but was probably only ten minutes, Arthur sighed. I watched him warily as he sat down, elbows on his desk, chin resting on his interlaced hands. He regarded me with a look that I couldn’t quite decipher.“I am not a man that apologizes very often, but I do know when to admit that I was wrong. I do apologize for not believing you. I can’t say that I do believe

AlmaraAnother week had passed since the whole Noah-Arthur confrontation thing. A week since Kaylee had become my shadow. Other than her name, I hadn’t learned anything about her.Noah was doing as he promised. He wasn't crossing any boundary that I didn’t want him to cross. But Arthur was still unhappy about me going over there. I was sure if he didn’t have responsibilities at work or with the pack, he’d stay with me as long as Noah was around.It was those responsibilities that took Arthur away for the day. The house felt empty wit
