Sassy Ever After: Kiss My Sass (Kindle Worlds Novella) Read Online Free PDF

joined him while his wolf explored the lush pack land. They’d enjoyed a nice talk afterwards, remembering happy times with Matt, and providing Luke with a little insight into Ashe.
    There was only so much to learn about someone by searching the internet and such. Personality was one of the things left unknown.
    Not that Luke could see Matt hooking up with someone who was bitchy, or rude, but good looks and lust could blind a man to some faults.
    It seemed as though Ashe was a nice enough girl, from what Barbara had told him. She was outgoing, adventurous, and sassy enough to keep Matt in line, so he hoped their assessment held true for when he finally met her.
    Tomorrow he would be meeting up with whomever Adrian had contacted, so he settled into the surprisingly comfy bed at the motel on the edge of town. He needed to be clear-headed and well rested if he wanted to help ensure he wouldn’t injure the poor bastard.

    Luke rose early the next morning, enjoying another run as his wolf while the sun came up. With the beast satisfied, he grabbed up his duffle bag and hit the road.
    He was to meet up with his partner at a diner in Honey Hollow, so he did his best to ensure he’d be there on time. With traffic being surprisingly light, he made it in with half an hour to spare.
    The town was incredibly small. Even though he wasn’t expecting much, he still thought there’d be more to it than this .
    Small neighborhoods surrounded what few businesses existed. Kids rode bikes on the sidewalk while people shopped in a small farmer’s market, there was only one traffic light situated in front of the fire and police stations, and all of the shops were clearly family owned.
    There were no big-name commercial stores in sight! It was like stepping back in time, and Luke found he rather liked the simplicity of it. A small grocery store, two gas stations located at opposite sides of town, a few diners, a pharmacy, police and fire departments, one large courthouse, a clinic, and a few clothing stores were pretty much all that made up Honey Hollow.
    Needless to say, the diner was easy to find, and Luke found himself eager to enjoy some good southern food. Once parked, he made his way inside, surprised when the scent of bear hit him.
    Chastising himself for not even considering that a place called Honey Hollow would be a bear town, Luke sauntered up to the counter and claimed a stool.
    He’d noted the stares directed his way, and could feel their eyes tracking his every move. The only things that had him holding his tongue were the few humans also dining. If not for them, he’d have put the other shifters at ease.
    Luke wasn’t looking for trouble by any means, let alone from a bunch of grizzlies, so when the waitress behind the counter made her way over, he offered a warm smile.
    “What can I get you, hon?” Her question was polite, yet her big brown eyes showed a mix of curiosity and anxiousness.
    “I’d love a glass of tea. I’m new in the area, and I’m supposed to be meeting someone here shortly. I got in a little early, so I guess I’ll grab something to eat. The food sure smells amazing.”
    She smiled, and this time it reached her eyes. “Well, you just glance over this menu and I’ll be right back with your tea.”
    Luke ignored the few patrons still openly staring, and perused the laminated menu before him. Everything sounded amazing as he read it off in his mind, and he hadn’t been lying when he’d said it smelled amazing.
    He was just deciding on the special, when a familiar scent to his right caught his attention. Sure enough, his old commanding officer, Benson, was sauntering over.
    Suddenly, Adrian’s comment about knowing they could work together made sense.
    “Benson, you old bastard, how have you been?” Luke greeted him, rising to shake hands, only to be pulled into an awkward, backslapping man-hug.
    “Not too bad, man. How about you?”
    “Just rolling with the punches. So I take it
