Leader of the Pack Read Online Free PDF Page B

of supernatural beings whose true life mates could be human. But there was always the danger of discovery by the general population. And discovery was something they could not survive. Their early history with humans had been violet and bloody. They had been hunted like packs of wild animals, shot and killed out of superstition and fear, sometimes just for sport. But they had learned to blend in with humanity as they had gained control of the moon’s power.
    “ Do you think whoever was in the house is still there?” Emily pushed away her plate.
    Jared immediately poured her a cup of coffee. When he indicated the sugar and cream, she nodded. Instead of handing them to her, he spooned the sugar in, watching her to see how much he should add. He did the same with the cream. Before he handed her the coffee, he took a drink, testing the temperature. He then leaned over and kissed her, allowing his tongue to slide against hers so she could taste it. “Is that alright?” he asked.
    Emily couldn’t help the shy smile. “It’s perfect.” She cradled the cup between her hands. “I want to go back to the house.”
    Jared snarled. “You will not go to any more houses.”
    Maria made a pinching motion with her thumb and forefinger before pouring her own cup of coffee.
    Emily snickered into her mug. “The house last night was the top choice, but I have other houses I want to check. Rachel gave me the names of five men she thought might be, umm, vamps. I traced them to various houses in the county.” She didn’t know if she should be concerned that saying things like that out loud was becoming easier and easier.
    “ What the fuck? You might have the name of the bastard who took one of our pack and you’re just now telling us?” Shawn snarled and lunged across the island. Before he could touch her, Jared had him jerked up by the neck, his hand cutting off his air.
    “ Mine . ”
    He could feel the change taking over. His claws extended and his vision turned red. No one dared to touch his mate. Harm her. Especially one of his pack.
    He bent his head focused solely on eliminating the threat.
    “ Jared,” Maria grabbed his arm. “Let him go.”
    His lips pulled back, his fangs fully exposed. “Back,” he ordered.
    The woman dropped her gaze but did not let go of his arm. “Emily,” she whispered. “You have to stop him.”
    Emily wrapped her hand around Jared’s other arm. “Jared,” she snapped. “Let him go. Let him go now.”
    If she’d learned one thing during her years on the force, it was that most men responded to an authoritative voice, no matter who it came from. A woman’s voice usually reminded them of either their mother or a stern school teacher and actually produced better results than a man’s.
    When he didn’t release the other man, she rolled her eyes. She might have known Jared was not like any of her usual drunk and disorderlies
    She changed tactics and started rubbing the bicep she was touching. “Jared, please let him go.” He stilled, turning to look at her. The beauty of his golden eyes took her breath away.
    Maria started to pry away her alpha’s fingers from her pack mate’s throat earning herself a warning snarl. “That’s good Emily. Distract him.”
    “ And how do you suggest I do that?”
    “ I don’t know. Kiss him, hell give him a blow job. He’s about to kill Shawn.” The man was struggling to take a breath even though Jared’s grip had lessened.
    Emily started to put her body between the two men but Jared snapped his teeth. Instead she pressed her body against his back. Her nipples immediately hardened from the contact. She felt herself becoming wet.
    “ That’s it, show him how much you want him.”
    “ Shit, you can smell me?” Emily didn’t know how much more embarrassment she could take.
    “ Yes and he can, too.” She finally managed to loosen two fingers, allowing Shawn to draw a much needed breath.
    “ Jared,” Emily stood on tiptoes but was barely able
