Her Billionaire Werewolf Stepbrother Read Online Free PDF Page A

to, I’ll
let her use my sleeve. I have more shirts.
    Janie stands and I stand beside
her. She tosses the flower that she had a death grip on a few minutes ago into
the grave where they’ve lowered the casket. I hear her sigh and I take her hand
to lead her away. I let her go when Jackie Peterson comes over and hugs her
tight. They surround her then, the old she-wolves of the pack and they’re
offering support. I stand aside and wait patiently.
    There will be a reception at the
Alpha’s house. We have to go there next. I don’t want to but I don’t have a
choice. If I announce that we’re mating, they’ll all be happy for us but there
will still be a reception. They will also expect it to be public and Jane isn’t
ready for that. We’ll stick to the plan. I take her hand again and lead her to
the limo. We wait for Dad. He needed a moment alone at the grave. I see him rub
his face with both hands as he turns toward us where we wait in the car. He
really loved her. The second woman that he loved has died. I hope that the next
one will outlive him. It’s not fair that he always has to be the one left
behind.
    Candice approaches him and hugs
him. I consider it. She’s around his age and she’s alone, seems nice, she makes
a mean apple pie. She’ll do, I decide. He likes apple pie, I give it six
months, eight at the latest before he’s mated again. I smile to myself but I
don’t let Jane see. She wouldn’t be pleased. She’ll expect him to mourn her
mother and he should but wolves are never happy alone. I’m proof of that. My
wolf aches for family, for pack and for a mate. He’s finally going to get it.
    I hear Jane shudder as she inhales
and I wrap an arm around her then kiss the top of her head. I hope the tears
end soon. I’m having a hard time with her pain. It’s difficult to bear and my
wolf is getting antsy about it now. I kiss her temple and I see her cheeks
flush. “I can’t wait to get you home so I can make you forget all this sadness
for a while.” I tip her head up with my finger and kiss her softly. God, she
tastes good. I kiss her again and I hear the soft growl. I’ll make her do more
than that later. I’ll make her howl.
    The Alpha’s mate hugs all of us
when we get there. She shows us to some nice armchairs that are grouped
together with a couch. Jane takes a chair, me and Dad flank her. The Alpha sits
on the couch. He’s old. I could have his job if I wanted it. He gives me a look
and lifts his chin. I’m not sure if it’s a challenge or if he’s showing throat.
I don’t want his job so I lower my eyes and submit. We both know though that if
I wanted it, it would be mine. I don’t lose often in any challenge whether it
be mental, physical or financial. He’s speaking to Dad and I ignore them. I
don’t care about his sentiments, I just want to get Jane out of here.
    Some of the ladies bring us plates
and cups of coffee. It’s bitter. It’s not the good stuff that I stock in my
kitchen or in my office. Jane makes a face when she tastes it. “I’ll get you a
soda.” I whisper against her ear.
    “Thanks.” She says softly. I bring
it back and someone is in my seat chatting up my girl. I lean past him and hand
her the soda. I recognize him from the funeral home. His name is Aiden, he’s
her age and a decent looking kid. I flash him a look and he apologizes, offers
his condolences once more then gets out of my seat. I give him a quiet
aggressive growl and send him prancing away. Pup.
    I sit next to Janie and give her a
reassuring hug. Luckily there is a new box of tissues on the coffee table
beside my chair. I hand her two new ones to destroy. The tears are coming fast
now. Her eyes are swollen and red. I want to hold her all the way home and I
won’t be able to if I’m driving.
    I pull out my phone and text my
team. One of them will drive the sports car back the other the SUV they came
in. I text the limo driver next and secure the car for the night. He will drive
us into
