Bride of the Alpha
now.
    “I’m opinionated. If things were going on in the pack that I didn’t like, I wouldn’t be able to sit there and keep my mouth shut.”
    “What kind of things?”
    “Oh, I don’t know…bullying…abuse…stronger pack members taking things from the weak just
    because they can…”
    “You think that’s how we run things in the Timber Valley pack?” Now he looked mildly offended.
    “No! Well, er, maybe…okay, yes…you guys do have kind of a reputation.”
    “And you believe everything that you hear?”
    “No,” I said, exasperated. Why was I letting him put me on the defensive? I was in the right here, wasn’t I?
    “So, it’s settled. Let’s go meet my family.”
    “What?”
    “You’re going to meet my family. That’s what brides do. Also, we’ll eat some lunch. You’ll need your
    strength for the Running, and definitely for the Claiming.”
    “Which involves what, exactly?”
    “You’ll find out soon enough. Why ruin the suspense?” That wicked grin quirked his sensuous lips
    again. Oh, he was positively evil, this one.
    He went to the closet, rummaged around, and came out a few minutes with a shirt and shoes. I let him
    lead me out of the room. Was I actually going along with this farce? Apparently. My head kept telling me to run for it. Other parts of my body kept telling me to do whatever the sexy man told me to do. I’d like to claim it was my heart talking, but it was actually something a little lower down.
    I cast a regretful look back at the bed and the sex toys.
    “Don’t worry,” he said, as he led me to the truck. “We’ll have plenty of time for those later.”
    “That is not what I was thinking!” I said indignantly. “In fact, I was thinking what a total pervert you are!”
    “Of course you were,” he said, with a knowing wink.
    I stood there at the passenger door to the truck, desperately trying to think of a way to get out of this.
    Yes, he was incredibly hot, but this wasn’t a one night stand we were talking about here. This was marriage.
    To an Alpha. A lifelong commitment, the future of his pack…
    “Your family thinks I should look like Camille,” I protested. “In fact they think you married a woman
    named Camille.”
    “They don’t know what you look like because you were wearing a veil. I’ll explain the change of plans,
    and they will go along with it. Like I said, I’m the Alpha.”
    “If you stay married to me, you’re going to royally tick off Kray Renker,” I reminded him.
    “Oh, I’m pretty sure that already happened when I went wolf on him an hour ago. We’ll deal with him
    on Monday.”
    “I’m…I’m not a stay at home type! I teach grade school! I love teaching!”
    “Surprisingly enough, we here at Timber Valley send our children to school. They hire teachers at that
    school. I’m very progressive. I don’t mind if my wife wants to work,” he said, and literally picked me up and put me down on the passenger seat. He stood there blocking my exit, and raised an eyebrow at me.
    “So. What else you got?”
    Oh, I didn’t know if I wanted to slap that smug smirk off his incredibly handsome face, or kiss him.
    “So, should I call my family and the Alpha of my pack, and tell them that I am now married to the
    Alpha of the Timber valley pack?” I bluffed.
    “That would be the kind of thing they’d want to know, wouldn’t it?”
    Damn him. Nothing rattled him.
    And he slammed the truck door firmly shut and walked around to the other side of the truck to climb
    in.
    I sat there, completely stymied. When was he going to quit playing this ridiculous game?
    “Seatbelt,” he said, as we pulled away. “Safety first.”
    “Fuck you,” I grumbled as I pulled my seatbelt on. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”
    “You have no idea how much.”
    “Let me know whenever you want to stop this farce and admit that you don’t want to be married to
    me,” I said irritably, turning to stare out the window.
    “You’ll be the
