A Wife for the Wolves (BBW Shifter Mail Order Bride Romance) (Mail-Order Mates Book 5) Read Online Free PDF

for help from Lovely and Kind Brides to find us a mate to complete our triad.”
    The pack’s chatter drowned out Matt’s voice at the end of his announcement. A moment later Kellan came toward them and shook both of their hands in the commotion. “Great job, boys. I knew this day was going to come. There isn’t a better wolf for the pack.”
    Mark hugged their cousin first. “Thank you. It means a lot coming from you, brother.”
    “Aren’t we going to vote on this?” someone in the crowd asked angrily.
    “We could,” Matt answered, surprised. “That is the tradition. We haven’t done it in a few generations, but we could set it all up.”
    “Do we really need a vote?” Kellan demanded. “Who else is willing to do this job? Any contenders are welcome to come forward now.”
    “We’ve gotten along just fine without an alpha. We don’t need one now.”
    “Just like the Brooks Pride?” Kellan asked. “We’re doing okay now, but we need direction. Look at what Owen has done for the pride.”
    “You aren’t even a part of the pack!” a woman in the front yelled. “You’re a lone wolf. Why should we care what you think?”
    “I’m also fine with a yes or no vote.” Mark stepped in to stop the discussion from escalating.
    “We need an alpha!” someone called out.
    Almost immediately, there was agreement all through the room. That made Matt puff his chest in pride. He should have expected a few rabble-rousers to try to stop it from happening. Once he and Mark were the alphas, a lot of the shenanigans would have to stop. The guys who liked to go out to the bar and have a few too many wouldn’t like that so much. There wasn’t going to be any sponging off packmates anymore, either. The pack had gotten along okay without an alpha, but that didn’t mean it wouldn’t do better with two competent leaders.
    “Voting will happen in two weeks, right here. Same time,” Mark called out.
    Matt nodded. “Thanks for coming out tonight, folks. I hope you all will consider this upcoming vote very carefully. The future of our pack is at stake here.”
    Kellan was growling and his eyes were bright yellow. “Can you believe these people?”
    “They don’t want to have to change.” Mark shrugged. “Too bad for them. Things are going in the wrong direction now. How are we going to be one of the best shifter towns in the country when our pack has a drug problem?”
    “Drug problem?” Kellan asked.
    Matt sighed. “From what it sounds like, anyway. I’m not entirely sure it was just the pack boys, but there is some drug use going on.”
    “Nothing serious, is it?”
    “I don’t think so,” Matt said. “Like I said, I’m not sure yet. I want to do a little more digging first.”
    “I need to get back to the motel.” Kellan glanced at his phone. “Gwen’s too sick to stay for the night. Molly is going to kill me, but I don’t have anyone else.”
    “I know that pain.” Mark groaned. “We didn’t have a backup cook until just yesterday. Matt and I had to fill in the whole week.”
    “Hopefully I can get Virginia to fill in for Gwen in the future.”
    “Good luck,” Mark told Kellan.
    They were all going to need luck, Matt thought. Things were getting complicated for the pack.
    He looked at his watch. Just a few hours until his mate landed. He hoped things would calm down once Jacqueline was in town.

    “We’re landing now,” Kai told Jackie.
    She had her eyes closed tight and was holding on to her seatbelt for dear life. She didn’t have a fear of flying, but the little plane made her nervous. She’d never flown on a private plane with just herself and the pilot. It seemed more dangerous somehow. She exhaled loudly and gulped down a sob when Kai told her it was going to be over soon.
    She felt weightless for a moment as the plane descended. It had been a long journey to get to Sunset Falls. She only had three suitcases with her, which was also nerve-wracking. Spring weather could turn
