Chasing Seth Read Online Free PDF

it will take all of the patience you lack, Kasey, to gain his trust. If you do not learn to control yourself, you will not be able to get through to him.”

    “I will do whatever it takes,” Kasey swore roughly, his throat raw. Charlie had never been wrong.

    Charlie did not tell Kasey what else he’d sensed, for it must be something the other male discovered for himself. He merely nodded, passing a hand over the wolf’s side to relieve some of his distress. “Rest, young one. No one here will hurt you. I promise you.”

    The black wolf calmed slightly, although not completely. His eyes never lost their wary look, and he shuddered at regular intervals. Kasey barely noticed the chair Charlie shoved toward him other than to hook his boot around the leg and pull it closer. He would not leave his mate. The ever-present fear clinging to his mate was like a sting to his skin, pressing into him as if it were needles. The hand not touching his mate clenched upon his thigh. Knowing someone had hurt the black wolf left him battling with the rage he felt at that unknown assailant. If he ever had the chance, he’d rip them limb from limb.

    Eventually, he felt the wolf let go and fall into sleep, if not because he trusted that they wouldn’t hurt him, then to escape the pain. The bone would be completely healed within the next day or so, but it was a painful process. Kasey knew from experience, having broken several bones over his thirty-two years. He allowed his hand to sift through the soft black fur. It felt so good beneath his palm, and it sent a sharp shaft of arousal through his body. His teeth elongated slightly, pressing into his bottom lip. More than anything, he wanted to claim his mate, but it did not appear he would be able to do so for some time. “I have a feeling you’re going to lead me on a very long chase, pup,” he murmured, his breath causing one of his mate’s ears to flicker.

    Kasey allowed his cheek to press against the warm back. His eyes slid closed as he once again tried to picture the delicate male wolf in his human form. A scowl settled between his eyebrows as, once again, the white veterinarian’s face popped into his head. Damn it. How could he possibly be thinking about the infuriating doctor when he was actually touching and caressing his mate? If he had anything to say about it, the man wouldn’t be staying in town long. He had to find some way to make him leave.

    The warmth radiating from his mate and the soft, gentle breathing began to lull Kasey into a light sleep. He drifted, never once relinquishing the gentle hold he had on the other wolf. He was so afraid that the other male would disappear. Nothing would keep him from having him. If patience was what it took, he’d find a way to be patient. He just prayed he could make the other shifter believe he wasn’t going to hurt him before he ran off into the forest and never returned.

    Seth struggled out of the darkness, grimacing at the agony coursing through his veins. Why was he in pain? He searched his memory for the details of the previous evening before it hit him. He whined low in his throat at the vivid details of being chased through the forest before stumbling over the edge of a cliff. He remembered the ground rushing up at him, and he’d thought for sure he was dead. Then he relived the pain he’d abruptly woken to as an older man had re-broken his back leg. After it had been reset and put into a splint, he’d heard the deep, throaty voice of the sheriff there as well. The word “mate” echoed over and over inside his head. Mate? He was no one’s mate.

    A growl rumbled in his throat as he realized the heavy warmth on his side was someone’s head. The warmth lifted away, and a strong hand scratched behind his ears. Seth felt his body react in a strange manner, almost leaning into the touch. Horrified, he worked at getting a grip on his actions. Wrenching his head away from the other male, he made to sit up, but the
