A Family with His Werewolf Mate Read Online Free PDF

and
stay away, of that Will had no doubt. He could hear the 'farewell' even if Dean
hadn't actually said it.
    Dean extended his hand toward him, as if he wanted to touch
Will. He stopped before they could make contact and turned on his heel. As Dean
started to walk away, Will couldn't take it anymore.
    "Wait," he blurted out before he could stop
himself. "Let me... Let me see again."
    Maybe it was true. Dean could simply belong to a different
species. It would be easy for people to interpret it in a scary way, especially
if the instances they'd run into other members of Dean's kind hadn't been very
pleasant.
    So far, Dean had done absolutely nothing to harm Will. Truly,
Dean had been a werewolf all this time, and he'd been so amazing to Will. How
could Will not even give him a chance to explain?
    "Show me again," he insisted. "Please."
    Dean faced him, and despite the distance between them, Will
could still see the hope that lit up his lover's expression. It was painful,
because Will couldn't be sure what would happen once Dean changed. He'd
probably freak out all over again. Even so, he had to try. He had to really
look.
    "You sure?" Dean asked him.
    "Yes," Will answered with far more steadiness than
he felt. "Show me."
    So, Dean did. Once more, the change flowed over him, and now
that Will was waiting for it, he saw past his original shock. Yes, it was
startling to see a man turn into a beast, but there was also something
beautiful, fluid, natural about it.
    In the books he'd read, lycanthropy had been a curse, a sign
of wrongness. There was no wrongness here. And when the wolf looked at him,
Will saw Dean in the beast's eyes.
    "Dean?" he asked.
    The wolf nodded, insofar as it—no, he—could in his animal
form. He made no attempt to approach Will, and instead let out one of those
small whines, as if trying to... encourage Will.
    Will was tired of being afraid. He clung to Dean's earlier
words, to the knowledge that something that felt so right couldn't be wrong. He
got up on shaky legs and steadily began to approach the wolf.
    The beast watched him with those too-intelligent eyes, and in
them, Will saw the glow he'd sometimes glimpsed in Dean's human gaze, in
moments of particularly intense passion. Yes, the wolf had been there this
whole time, and maybe Will should have felt frightened or betrayed, but he
didn't. He was... fascinated.
    The more he approached Dean, the less the wolf seemed like a
beast. Suddenly, he pinpointed the human Dean's hope in the wolf's stance. He
recognized the jet black of Dean's hair in the wolf's coat. When the wolf
fidgeted slightly, he could see the human Dean pacing in anguish.
    By the time Will reached Dean, he'd come to a decision.
"You can understand me, right?" he whispered, almost afraid to look
away lest this beautiful creature disappear.
    The wolf nodded again, and Will knelt down on the grass in
front of his-lover-turned-animal. "Can I touch you?"
    In response, the wolf slowly nudged his chin with his muzzle,
so gentle, much like the human Dean had done earlier. A sense of overwhelming
relief filled Will and he wrapped his hands around the animal's neck. "I'm
sorry," he whispered as he buried his fingers in Dean's luxurious black
fur. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you a monster. Can you ever
forgive me?"
    He pulled away slightly to meet Dean's eyes. A few seconds
later, he regretted this, because Dean took advantage of his position to lick
his cheek. Will squeaked in surprise, torn between outrage and amusement. As he
wiped his face, Dean shifted back into his human form. His sad smile had been
replaced by a wide grin. "Nothing to forgive, baby. Thank you for giving
me a chance to explain."
    "Thank you for trusting me with this," Will
replied, disregarding the 'licking' incident in favor of focusing on the matter
at hand. "I'm guessing you don't go around telling just everyone about
your nature."
    Dean shot him a sheepish look. "Well, no. The truth is,
Will... You know how
