Runaway Mate

Invitation

Jennifer

Nik looks at me skeptically, waiting to hear what my request is for him. "I want you to hand-deliver them an invitation for the office Halloween party this Friday night." He looks at me confused. "While there, try to scope out their place and find anything that may seem... unordinary."

"What are you not telling me?" My assistant questions.

Using my hand, I pretend to zip my lips. "Ugh. Fine! Keep your secret for now. You'll spill eventually." I let out a soft chuckle at that remark because I sure as hell will not be telling a soul about my secret.

"Anything else boss?" I shake my head, "No. That would be all for now." With a huff, he leaves my office. That man can be so dramatic sometimes.

Just as I arrive home.. woah.. that's so weird to think. This packhouse is my home now. I still can't wrap my head around that. My phone rings and I pull it out to see a text from Nik. Invitation delivered. They wouldn't let me inside their house though. Sorry.

Of course not. Those brothers are definitely hiding something. Hopefully, they attend the party and I can get them drunk enough to tell me.

"Damn it," I mutter, but my werewolf boyfriend heard with his super-sonic ears.

"Well, sounds like you had a good day at work," He jokingly says as he begins taking off his clothes. My mouth feels like it's about to literally drool when he waves his hands in front of my face.

"Jenn?" He calls my name with a chuckle.

"You can drool all over me after my shower, but first I want to hear about your day. You seem pissed off about something."

"It's nothing," I state rather quickly. Obviously, he can tell I'm lying.

"I was so excited to be back at work, until my meeting with the Thorpe brothers. Something they said really bothered me, but I may just be over-reacting and reading too much into it."

I was going to tell Josh anyway to hear his opinion on the matter, so I go ahead and tell him everything Dexter and Xavier said to me in my office. I thought he would just tell me I'm being paranoid or that the brothers were literally just talking about normal wolves. His reaction, though, said otherwise.

"They sound like hunters. We need to tell Alpha Steven and Luna Heather immediately."

"Wait! I had my assistant invite them to the office Halloween party on Friday. Am I in danger?" I nervously ask. Josh cups my face gently in his hands, "No my love. You're not a werewolf. They will not harm you, I promise. Do you know if they will be attending the party?"

"I- I don't know yet," I answer honestly.

"Okay, let me go shower, and then we can discuss a plan of action with the others." I nod my head and watch as he walks to the bathroom in the room. "Josh?" I call out, making him stop in his tracks and turn towards me. "Mind if I join you?" I ask as my face heats up. I can't believe I just asked him that. God, I sound like a slut.

In the blink of an eye, he has me in his arms and carries me into the bathroom. Standing me to my feet, he literally tears my clothes off with his claws. f**k. That was hot.

I always imagined shower s*x not being fun as it would be two people in a small space, trying anything and everything to make positions comfortable but failing miserably. Well, Josh proved that theory wrong. Then again, his bathroom is the size of my old bedroom.

After we eventually get dressed, he holds my hand and leads me to the Alpha's office.
