Kayla shrugged. “Fine. I’m only doing this for you.”

Julia ran up to Kayla, hugging her. “I know, I know. That’s why I love you.”

Princess broke them up by trying to squeeze between them.

“Jealous girl,” Julia said. “Come on. Let’s get you ready for your s-h-o-t-s before Mr. Anderson returns to pick you up.” Julia grabbed her collar. “You have everything for her?”

Kayla nodded. “Yea, I had Tyler help me make her be still on the scale. I took her vitals and she is ready for her immunizations.”

“I don’t know why the animals don’t like Tyler much these days. You think they pick up some bad vibes with him?”

“I doubt that. Sometimes animals are not friendly.”

“Kayla, they are friendly to us then hate him. Does that make sense to you in any way? I don’t know what is going on. I like Tyler, but if he keeps freaking out the animals, we will have to find someone else. Which brings up another thing, I love working for you, dear friend, but I am getting tired of the double duties.”

“I know, Julia, and I’m working on that right now. I promise to hire someone soon. I’m going to have to put Tyler on night clean up all the time if that’s the case.”

“He wouldn’t be upset. Anyhow, he doesn’t have to stay on night watch. Just until whatever is going on with him stops.”

Kayla nodded.

“Well, let me go get Princess ready. You have a client in room two. She believes that her cat has worms. I told her a stool sample has to be done to confirm this.”

Kayla sighed. “My work is never done.” She set the chart down on the table and walked out of the room.

Tyler tossed the garbage bag into the bin, and it landed inside with a loud thump. He growled and kicked the side of the garbage bin, his foot leaving a large boot impression there.

“Calm down there, pup,” Jack McDaniels, his father, said as he walked around the corner.

Tyler took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage running through him. He growled, wanting to yell to the heavens, needing to release the beast that he had grown to know over the past year.

At the age of twenty-five, werewolves came of age, and his time clock had his body in overdrive. He had picked his mate already, and he wanted her by his side. The problem was, the pack he wanted to join didn’t allow him to just drag her off and make her his, as he wanted to do.
She
had to pick
him
. She had to make her own decision to want to love him and become a werewolf. If not, then the transformation wouldn’t work.

Kayla was his and he wanted her!

She was pure.

Untouched.

This was just as he wanted to keep her. If she didn’t pick him soon, he would violate every law of his pack, go out, and claim her as his own. She would accept him eventually. He knew from the look in her eyes she wanted him. Earlier, he could smell a small hint of arousal on her after she called him into the room to help her. His plan of telling Julia about his love for Kayla seemed to be working for him. He knew that Julia would run back to Kayla, and tell her everything.

If not for the animals, he probably would have made a move and asked her out on a date a few moments ago. Fucking animals! Spoiling everything! They knew what he was, and that’s why they kept running away from him. His father told him that eventually he would be able to control animals, and they wouldn’t fear him. It just took time. Every fucking thing took time! He wanted…no, needed, a release, and soon.

Having sex with the sluts around this town did nothing for him. They were heated tramps who wanted a cock in their pussy for their own pleasure. He gave them pleasure. For some women, he gave so much pleasure that they walked bowlegged for a week. The moment they got a taste of his cock, they wanted it all the time.

At first, it was fun, fucking every night for a release, but now, he craved satisfaction, and knew only one person who could give him that satisfaction. Kayla. Just her name made his cock hard with desire. He wanted to sink deep into her virgin pussy and make her cum so many times she would not think of ever being with another man. She would crave him and only him.

“Tyler, calm down.”

Tyler growled when his father’s hand grasped his shoulder.

“Control the beast. It doesn’t control you.”

Tyler snatched away from his father’s touch. His fingers ached to let his nails grow. He wanted to tear the head off something, anything. Yet he couldn’t do it. He didn’t get his full strength for another week when he could turn. He hated this curse. Don’t get him wrong, he loved being a werewolf. He hated that they and the vampires had been cursed.

Many years ago, a witch and a warlock’s only daughter was raped and murdered by a werewolf. It was said that a vampire had ordered the wolf to do it. What wolf took orders from a vampire? He didn’t know who had, but the witch and warlock cast a spell over them all. A powerful spell. Vampires could no longer walk in the daylight, and werewolves could only change one night during the first night of a full moon.

Tyler heard that if they found a stone, the rarest of bloodstones, along with a witch and warlock to perform the spell, they could break the curse. Good luck with that. No witch or warlock would break the curse for anyone. They were loyal to the dead witch and warlock who cast the spell and would not betray them in any way, shape, or form.

After the beast finally calmed, Tyler looked into his father’s black eyes.

“I’m tired of feeling like this, Father. You don’t know how hard it is to act…act human when
I
don’t know what being a human is like. I should be able to go inside and make Kayla my mate. Instead, I walk around like a puppy dog, hoping to get a chance to hump her leg when she’s not looking.”

Jack sighed. “I know of your pain, son. I’m surprised that your need to mate is so strong this quickly. I didn’t meet your mother until I was sixty. I didn’t even think about mating when I met her. I enjoyed the freedom to fuck all the women I wanted. I fucked so many, I hoped that some would give me gifts, children, many children. It was not to be. By faith of the Gods, I was blessed with you and loving your mother until we die.” Jack walked up to Tyler, placing his hand on his shoulder again. “Son, you are young, and the need is strong, but you have to wait. You have to give her time to come to you. If you push her too quickly, it will not be good. For now, go out and fuck as many women as you need to satisfy that burning need.”

Tyler shook his head. What did his father think he’d been doing? He had bedded so many women in the past couple of months that he lost count after fifty. Many of them brought their animals in for a checkup after finding out where he worked. They wanted him to be their boyfriend and some even wanted to marry him after one night of sex with him.

“I have, father. I have had many, but there are none who pleases me now. Once I have finished with those women, I don’t want to even lay there and rejoice in our lovemaking. My body is not pleased with just them. I need
her
.”

“In due time, son. In due time. Tonight, you come in and I’ll teach you how to bend the will of these animals. You will give yourself away if they continue to fear you.”

“I’ll be here.”

“Good, my son. Now go back in there and behave like a human. Don’t get too close to her when you are not in control.”

Tyler wanted to snarl at his father and tell him to go to hell. How could he not get close to her when the only thing he smelled was
her
when he was working? His father didn’t know how many women he had to take to his bed after work just so he could get his cock down. Each time he took one, he would wish it were Kayla writhing in pleasure under him while he was over some female he wished not to know.

“I’ll try to control this as much as I can. If she doesn’t agree soon, and, since forcing is not an option, I’ll have to quit this job.”

“Again, I understand what you are going through, Tyler, and you have to do what you have to do. We are not the beast that books and rumors claim we are. We don’t steal babies at night and kill them. We don’t go on an eating spree of animals during a full moon. We are a family like any other family. We do have a longer life span than humans, but that doesn’t mean we are monsters. We belong just as much as those vampires belong on this earth.”

“That’s true. I’ll talk to you later tonight.” Tyler walked toward the door.

“Oh, son…”

His father’s voice made him turn around to look at him. “Yes?”

“You wouldn’t have any idea about those killings that’s been happening by that new club?”

Tyler looked at his father then shrugged. “Best check the Scion’s clan. I have seen some of them around lately. Maybe they have been killing.”

“Well, son, Eric Virgo is your friend, and I don’t like that he’s part of the Scion’s clan. However, if he’s killing, you will be attending his funeral.”

“Was my friend,” Tyler corrected. “I haven’t hung out with Eric in many moons.”

“I hope you are not lying to me, son. I don’t want you to get caught up in that freedom bullshit. That’s why we are cursed now. Our ancestors thought it would be fine to rape and kill one of the most powerful wizards of that time, and now look what we have to deal with. If you are thinking about joining a different pack besides the Lone Wolves that’s fine, but make sure you join one that has morals and doesn’t think humans are food.”

Tyler snarled before turning away from his father. Yes, he had thought of joining another pack, but all the packs were lame with their don’t do this and don’t do that rules. He wanted to have fun. He wanted to be the wolf that he was meant to be. He craved the taste of human flesh sometimes. Why must his father be such a downer? At this rate, he would never get Kayla, never be respected in the pack as a leader, and would always live in his father’s shadow.

For now, he would accept, but later would be another story. He would rule a pack one day, and they would tremble with fear at the sight of him. That’s what you called a leader, not these wannabe pussies that led the packs now. They might as well let a female run the packs with the way things were going these days.

Tyler let out a frustrated sigh before opening the back door and going inside. He had to endure several more hours of working with a woman he couldn’t touch before going out and finding which woman he would bed this night. He felt extra frustrated and he had to make sure he took one who could suck his cock until her jaw locked, then could take him fucking her in each and every hole she had. No lovemaking for him tonight, just fierce, non-stop fucking.

Chapter 3

The sound of electronic music blasted from what sounded like a hundred speakers pierced Ian’s sensitive ears. Humans as well as other beings danced on the lit dance floor. Lights of all different colors swirled around as people enjoyed the music. A DJ sat in the booth, occasionally stirring the club up more.

Ian didn’t expect to see as many people in this club as there were. His brother had put a lot of money into the decorations and fixing it up, and Ian would find out later where he got the money from or from whom to be exact.

Ian hadn’t had much time to look around the club before Logan halted him up to the blue room area. The moment he got upstairs, he noticed the traffic of bodies was less than downstairs because he didn’t run into someone every couple of steps.

Logan immediately took him to the bar and ordered the strongest drink he could think of. However, it was not like he could get drunk that easily, as it would take something with a lot more kick to give him a buzz.

He peered down to the main floor. Bodies of all shapes and sizes swayed to the music. They didn’t have a care in the world at this moment. Within moments of watching everyone, the interest left. He turned to look at the blue lights.

Why had he let Logan talk him into coming out tonight? The trip on the plane had done a number on him. Not only was there a child who cried the entire flight, but a passenger in first class couldn’t keep his dinner down, and every couple of minutes he ran to the bathroom with his hand over his mouth. Then there was Mary. Mary sat next to him and she wanted, no, needed, to know every detail about him. After the first thirty minutes of non-stop talking, he forced her to sleep the rest of the trip.

Let’s not forget the moment he got off the plane and had to wait hours for his bags. It was just one thing after the next, and he wanted to rest tonight so tomorrow he could go out and search for any clues that would lead him to the murderer of innocent humans.

Instead of respecting his request to let him sleep, Logan pestered him for almost an hour before he finally agreed to look at the club.

Logan said no one rested in Florida. Every night they partied, and from the size of the crowd, Logan had spoken the truth. He couldn’t prove it, but he was sure that everyone from the town was here.

Ian took another sip of his drink. He knew why he didn’t want to come out and party. He had been in a foul mood since he left New York. The plane ride wasn’t the start of this bad trip.

For starters, he had a very unpleasant dinner with Meagan before leaving. The dinner went well, but as soon as they were alone in the booth, she wanted to be spontaneous. She reached her hand under the table and tried to free his cock from his pants, wanting to give him a blowjob. About two years ago, he would have been hard with excitement. After she encountered his soft and unappealing cock, she started to accuse him of not being attracted to her anymore. Ian tried to explain to her that his lack of interest came from the fact that there were many people around, and they would see her disappearing under the table. Meagan told him she didn’t believe him, then jumped up and left the restaurant without another word.

When she left, Ian didn’t follow her. Instead, he paid the tab, then walked around the city until dawn. When he decided to go home, he wasn’t surprised to find Meagan was in his bed, naked, and waiting for him.

It never took so much effort in his life to try to keep a hard-on. He did manage to get fifteen minutes out of it.

Meagan did cum once, and the moment she did, he shamelessly pretended to have an orgasm. The second he pulled out of her, he lay on his back, wondering why he put himself through such trauma. Why let this woman make his life so miserable to the point that he couldn’t enjoy the one thing that his kind needed most, sexual release.
