Chapter Ten

Kuma wasn’t certain if Gwen’s plan would work. He did know that nothing he could say or do would change her mind. She was determined to see this through, with or without him.

In her living room, he stood next to Teeko, who’d arrived minutes earlier. Gwen and Staci were across from them, framed by the afternoon sun pouring through the front windows, sizing up this member of Kuma’s pack.

“The Beta wolf to your Alpha,” Gwen had said earlier.

Kuma had no idea what she’d been talking about. Thankfully, he loved the sound of her voice. Despite how he teased her about talking too much, he could have listened to Gwen prattle on for hours.

She said nothing now, eyeing Teeko with unmistakable caution.

He was a few years younger than Kuma, not as solidly built, his dark brown hair worn shorter, his eyes a gold shade, not gray, several days’ growth of beard on his face. He’d stolen his clothing, as Kuma had. It matched what most men wore on this side—jeans, a navy tee, running shoes, a jacket. So restrictive for creatures who’d lived their entire lives on E4 without any garments.

Kuma sensed Staci wanted to see Teeko nude. She kept staring at him, her color rising even more than last night when Kuma had been with her. Giving her the attention Gwen wanted.

Although Kuma liked Staci, appreciating how feminine and gentle she was, she would never be the woman he needed. Perhaps it was a good thing the girl was so clearly attracted to Teeko. In this foreign realm, the werewolf was someone Kuma could trust. Because of that, Gwen had asked him to bring Teeko here. He would see to Staci’s safety while they were gone, putting Gwen’s plan into motion.

Kuma spoke to the younger werewolf in their native tongue. “You’re certain of what you’ve just told me?”

Teeko finished his perusal of Staci, his expression betraying his pleasure. “I know what I smelled. What I’ve seen.” He regarded Gwen.

Kuma stepped in front of the man, blocking his view, letting the werewolf know Gwen wasn’t available. She belonged to him alone.

Remembering his place, Teeko backed away and lowered his face in submission. Satisfied with his response, Kuma spoke to Gwen. “We should leave now.”

She didn’t move. “Can he speak and understand English?”

“Yes,” Teeko answered as he regarded Staci, not Gwen. “I’ll be able to communicate with the female.”

Staci’s face turned bright red. She pulled her attention from the prominent bulge behind Teeko’s fly. Desire remained in her gaze. “You can call me Staci, all right? I’d actually prefer it.”

Teeko looked at Kuma for permission.

He nodded once, allowing the younger man to do that.

“And I’ll call you Teeko,” Staci said.

Gwen watched the interchange without comment. She went to Kuma, whispering in his ear, “Tell him he better not harm Staci in any way, either physically or emotionally.”

Kuma turned his face to hers and inhaled deeply, filling himself with her wondrous fragrance. If not for the others being here, he would have taken her where she stood, causing her to cry out in delight.
