A Love Worth Biting For Read Online Free PDF

but I held my neck ramrod straight. It took effort not to lean in and cuddle with the big guy sprawled on the couch. Yummy mating pheromones were pouring off him.
    “That’s not our big problem here. Jake…does she know what you are?”
    “Um…he’s a vamp-wolf hybrid. Duh.” I looked down at Jake, and he was giving Doc the creepy still vampire glare.
    “How do you know of me?” Good thing we all had superior hearing, because that deadly low tone might not have tripped average eardrums. I backed up a little at those words.
    “I am the Pack’s source of healing and safe-keeping. I make it my business to know all that goes on around us. I’ve studied your Family, for obvious reasons. So yeah, I know who Jake Meyers is to the Meyers Family.” He was a bowstring taut with tension.
    I looked back and forth between them. They were so busy giving each other the grumpy-dude glare that nobody seemed to feel the need to fill me in. So I did what any were-critter would do. I stood between them and stomped my foot and let loose a frustrated growl.
    “Is anybody going to share with the female? Or do I get to play guess the other bad crud that I obviously don’t know about yet?”
    “He’s his Family’s Protector.”
    “Of course he is. Wanna clue me in on what that means?”
    “Do you pay attention to anything that is discussed at Council?”
    “They have cookies there! I have my priorities.”
    Doc took a deep breath and rolled his eyes to the ceiling, but didn’t keep his attention off Jake long. “He’s healing. I can see the ripples under his skin of the wolf trying to claim. I don’t have time for a lesson on vamp politics. You either need to mate or one of you needs to kill the other. The call is too strong. I can barely breathe over the stink of the pheromones in this room. And the longer we stand here waiting, the more he is healing and the stronger the scent is getting. So Amber…what’s your choice?”
    “Do I get no choice here?” Jake huffed at Doc.
    “You’re obviously not healed enough yet if you think you have a choice in this, or you would realize that if you did kill her, I would just be waiting outside to slice you open from neck to pecker.”
    Jake bent his head as another wave of wolf rippled under his skin. He would change within the hour.
    “He’s going to shift. There’s no way he’s stopping it. He won’t attack me when he’s out of control, will he?” I was terrified of what was going on, but my nipples were hard and aching more with every word from my mate’s mouth.
    Doc was on his way out the door as he called back. “You’ll be fine. You’re his mate. Just try and keep him corralled away from everybody else. Even if he keeps enough control to stop himself from hurting his Family, if they find him like this and see him protecting you. Well, the shit will hit the fan. And—oh, crap—there he goes.” Doc was now hiding behind the edge of the wooden door. If I hadn’t been talking to him, there was a good chance he would be half a mile away by now. “You’re his mate. Claim him or kill him. Quickly. If I try and control him now, he will see me as a threat to his claim on you. I can’t help you here. It’s up to you, Amber. Choose.”
    The screen slapped against the cabin. I went and shut the heavy wood door behind it, throwing the deadbolt. Jake would do some hellacious damage to the inside of our safe house if he shifted here, but I was more worried about the damage he would do to Doc or anybody who happened by.
    “Well. What’s your choice?”
    “What?” I turned. And Jake was taking off his clothes.
    He was down to his boxers. My tongue lolled from my mouth. I hoped I didn’t drool. I swallowed the rush of saliva flooding around my canines. The desire to taste him—to take him—stole my breath. He was mine. I was his.
    My wolf beat against my skin, but for the first time, she wasn’t pushing for a change. She was giving me my body. The mating had to be in
