All Chapters of The Grumpy Alpha and His Chubby Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Zara Lovegrove MoonclawA massive, heavy hand shakes my shoulder. “Zara.”I open one sticky eye and pull the thick wolf-pelt blanket all the way over my head.“If your wolf needs more rest,” Theo says, his voice deep and smooth like warm honey, “I will leave you in peace. But just so you know, you have been sleeping for five total hours under the sun.”I push the heavy fur off my face and blink up at my grand new roommate with blurry eyes. “What do you mean, five hours? That is not possible.”“You sat on this skin couch,” Theo explains, his massive frame leaning against the wooden table, “and in the short time it took me to carry your traveling bags up to the guest room and come back down, you were out like a light. I laid your body across the cushions so you would be comfortable, tucked the pelt over you, and went down to my alpha administrator den. After a long line of scrying calls to the pack merchants, I went out to run errands in the metropolis. When I got back, I had a very lon

"The poor owner," Zara sighs, shaking her head. "He is on the other side of the world, and his own pack employees are bleeding his silver dry.""Speaking of employees who actually do good work," I say, leaning in close, "I told him the whole truth about the day you got fired. He feels absolutely terrible that a beautiful female wolf had to go through that shame. He is more than happy to give you your job back immediately."Zara twists her lips together, her green eyes turning sad and fearful. "I do not think my wolf can face going back to the Moonlight Feast Hall ever again, Theo. I could never handle the shame of the other maids calling me clumsy, fat, useless, and a total disaster. Every small mistake I make will look massive under their eyes, and every wolf who saw me cry on that awful day will think I am completely incompetent."I nod my head slowly. She is right. The common pack wolves will never know that Damon Thornclaw was caught on a magic crystal grabbing her body, which is

Zara Lovegrove Moonclaw"Let me go! Please, just let me go!" I scream.My eyes snap open, but all I see is the terrifying dark. I am shaking so hard the big wood bed rattles, and my thick, chubby fingers rip at the sheets. My tunic is totally wet with cold sweat, sticking to my heavy skin. For a whole minute, my brain thinks I am back in that awful, rotting basement den with the rogue wolf trying to break through my door."Zara, stop, it is okay," a deep, booming voice barks through the dark.The bright light hits my eyes, making me blink fast. I look up and see Theo Kingsley Silverfang sitting right on the edge of the mattress. His massive warrior frame is dressed in a soft white shirt, and his yellow-blue eyes are wide with worry."Ka—Theo—" I choke out, and then a huge sob bursts right out of my mouth."You had a giant nightmare, little wolf," he says softly.He reaches out with his big, warm hands and cups my thick cheeks, forcing my eyes to lock right onto his. "You are completel

"What does your wolf want to eat?"She shrugs her heavy shoulders. "Berries. Sweet milk. Toasted bread. Grain bowls. Honey cakes. I am very easy to please, Theo. The only thing my wolf cannot live without in the morning is black coffee."I lift my own clay mug. "The magic drink that keeps me human at dawn. Without it, I am certain I would turn into a wild, roaring beast, and the pack commoners would run into the woods for their lives.""You say the funniest things with a completely stone-cold face," she giggles, putting her thick fingers over her mouth. "It makes it even more hilarious."No wolf in the sacred dominion would ever call me a funny male, but I feel ten feet tall because my harsh sarcasm brings a giant smile to her beautiful lips."I have all of that food in my pack larders," I tell her. "But I can offer you something much more interesting than plain dry bread.""I am open to your alpha suggestions.""My cold box is always stocked with big jars of sweet protein overnight o

"Oh, wow, that is so hot," I whisper, my cheeks burning. The grumpy wolf warrior has the female face down on the bed, lifting her heavy hips high so her knees are off the mattress while he drives into her like a wild animal. "How can her body even take that much brute force without breaking?"It looks exactly like the downward dog yoga stretch.I am completely certain Theo has no idea he bought me a dirty book full of smut.I drop the book on the furs, throw the blankets off my legs, and stand right up on the big mattress. I am not a yoga girl, but I have done a few stretches before, so I get into the downward dog position on the bed. I move my heavy body back and forth, pretending a big, grumpy warrior is holding my thick hips and kissing me like crazy.My heart is going so fast. I move with more heat. Now I totally get why the girl in the book was panting for air and the male wolf was growling like a beast.With all that massive masculine muscle in his body, I bet Theo is not just a
