Honor of the Wolf

The Gray Pack Book Six

Being a Beta wolf in the Gray Pack is one of the highest honors Luke Gray has ever attained, but he wants so much more
for himself and his pack. The recent shift in mating habits, has disturbed his idyllic view of their way of life, and worse
yet, no one else seems to understand his point of view.

Tavi Reid is a woman full of grit, and determination. She’s come too far, and worked too hard to let an arrogant man
with a chip on his shoulder throw her off track. Even if he’s sexy as hell and makes her weak in the knees, she has to stay
focused on her daughter and their future.

They are both tested with traumatic new changes to their lives, but will they lean on each other to get them through, or
will these two independent individuals end up with disaster on their hands? Honor is not a right, it’s earned…

Excerpt

“Why are you here, Luke?” she asked softly, tipping her head to look up at him. In the shadows of the night, he looked
lethal and sexy as hell. His granite-sharp jaw worked with tension and his full lips pursed in thought.

“I needed to see you again.”

She shook her head. “Why? Didn’t we say everything we needed to say last night? You’re a young, sexy, single guy
looking for a one-night stand, and I’m a tired, single mom. That’s like trying to mix oil and water. It won’t work.”“You think I’m sexy?” he asked, the corner of his mouth curving up. She laughed, and shook her head. “Look, Tavi, I don’t
know why I’m here, or honestly how I ended up here.” The genuine look of confusion on his face concerned her, but it
was the honesty in his eyes when he lowered to a crouch in front of her, that really stole her heart. “I feel like there’s
something in my chest that’s connected to you. When I try to stay away it pulls me back. I don’t understand it, and I
don’t know how else to explain it, but it’s there. I don’t know shit about relationships, so I can’t promise you more,
but—”

“Did you hit your head, Luke? I have a daughter. I don’t do one-night stands, and I sure as hell don’t do them with men
who stalk me,” she interrupted, frustrated by the deep desire in her heart to say yes.

“Stalk you?”

She gestured around them. “Well I don’t see you visiting so often for the ambiance.”

“I’m not trying to stalk you. Shit. I just want to spend some time with you.”

“So what, you’re going to get to know me out of curiosity?”

“No! Yes. Maybe? I don’t know.” He looked so confused and frazzled that it made Tavi’s heart ache for him. She wasn’t
sure she wanted him to know how strong the feelings in her own body were right now.

“When you do know what you want, you know where to find me.” She stood and turned to leave, only to run smack into
his hard chest. With a startled yelp she clutched his shirt to keep from falling over. She had no idea how he’d moved so
quickly, but she didn’t have time to ask before his mouth came down on hers.

She might have chalked up yesterday’s physical reaction to a fluke, but as he pulled her in close and ravished her mouth
she felt her heart pounding in her chest. This was no fluke. This was passion, and a perfect feeling of rightness in the
world. Luke fit her like a puzzle piece, and together they were explosive.

Pulling back, she ended the kiss with a gasp of fresh air and a groan of disappointment. There was no way she could
keep putting him off if he kept kissing her.

“Luke, I can’t.”

His eyes flashed in the shadows of the night, and she could see his jaw muscle clenching in frustration. “Why?”

“I’ve already told you why. I don’t want either of us to get hurt. You aren’t what I need in my life.” She backed away
from him, pulling her coat tight around her chest to combat the icy cold air on her scorching hot body.

“How do you know that if you won’t even get to know me?”

She shook her head and fought back tears. “I’ve already survived one man who convinced me to listen to my body
instead of logic.”

A heavy silence settled between them, and Tavi felt torn. Her instincts were telling her to throw herself back into his
arms and hold on for dear life. She wanted to spend eternity wrapped up in his embrace. But it just wasn’t the right
thing for her, or her daughter.

“I’ve got to get back to work. Go home, Luke, and forget this ever happened.” She made it to the parking lot before he
spoke again, but his words echoed in her head for the rest of the night.“I can’t. I wish I could baby, but I can’t.”

Adult Excerpt

Hearing Tavi ask him for the thing he desired most made his balls draw up tight, and his cock twitch painfully behind the
zipper of his jeans. With a gentle push, she sat on the edge of the bed with him between her knees. It put her pert
breasts at the perfect level for him to devour. Licking the tip of one while he teased the tip of the other with his
fingertips, he began to seduce her body with his.

Every stroke was matched with a moan, or a pleasure-filled sigh, and his cock grew harder and hotter. She smelled of
jasmine and raw woman. The sexually potent fragrance made his wolf mindlessly happy and wild with the primal desire
to sink both his cock and his canine teeth into her, marking her as his own.

He set about worshiping her body with his tongue and his fingers. Falling back on the bed, she murmured words of
pleasure and need, sometimes making sense, and other times incomprehensible.

With her pussy spread open to him, he slid his fingers into her pale pink opening, and had to bite his lip at the velvet
heat that surrounded them. She was going to be tight. He was larger than most human men, and she was much smaller
than he’d expected. Then again, he’d never been with a woman who’d had a child, so he hadn’t truly known what to
expect.

What he got was a sexual goddess. She was beautiful, right down to the teeny tiny white lines that dotted her lower
abdomen. She bore the scars of her pregnancy, but it wasn’t a turn-off. It actually fulfilled some primal need inside of
him to find a woman that could bear his children. A strong mate.

Before he allowed himself to drift too far down that road, he focused his tongue on her sweet cunt, and began teasing
her toward her first orgasm of the night. Her flavor was a deliciously salty-sweet blend and the more he got, the more he
wanted. The folds of her pussy were soft against his tongue, and moisture dripped from her opening as her hips thrust
up against his mouth seeking more from him. He didn’t make her wait for it, instead he focused all of his energy on
bringing her to a fast, hard climax. She didn’t disappoint, jerking underneath him as her cunt spasmed around his thick
fingers.

To his surprise she was almost completely silent in her orgasm. Her face twisted and her mouth dropped open with a
sharp exhale, but no other noise left her throat. If it weren’t for the obvious reaction under his fingers and tongue he
would have doubted how good it was for her.

After a few breaths she caught him staring up at her from between her thighs and she blushed. It stroked his ego to seeher cheeks stained with pink and her body trembling underneath him.

Bending, he nipped her inner thigh, and she protested. “Ouch! Hey!”

“You taste good.”

Her cheeks grew even redder, but she returned his grin. “I’ll return the favor if you let me up.”

Luke bit back a growl of need, and shook his head. “As much as I’d love to watch you suck my cock, I’m on the edge of
my control already. That will have to wait for later.”

Rising above her, he pressed forward and her thighs spread around his hips in welcome. He kissed his way back up her
torso to her sweet tits, pleasuring each one with his tongue, and teeth, before continuing to her collarbone. The

moment he reached that thick tendon that connected her shoulder to her neck, his teeth sharpened instinctively. His
wolf wanted to mate her, and it was going to take everything he had to resist it.

Burying his face in her hair, he could hear her murmuring words of encouragement as her hands began roaming over his
bare chest and shoulders. His jeans felt like they were strangling his cock, and he groaned when her fingers made their
way down to his zipper.

“Take them off, Luke, please?”

Her pretty plea was music to his ears, and he rushed to release his erection from confinement. It throbbed against her
thigh as he shoved his pants to his knees, and she froze.

“Holy shit.”

“What’s wrong, baby?” Luke frowned in confusion and then realized that she was staring at his cock.

“You’re massive!”

He felt ten feet tall with her staring at him in wonder and appreciation, and he let out a loud laugh. “That’s the sweetest
thing anyone’s ever said to me.”

“Well don’t let it go to your head, big guy. You haven’t proved you can use it yet.”
