from town came rushing back. “Every story holds an element of truth,” she murmured.
Just because the man had wolves on his property didn’t mean he was a werewolf or a vampire.
The wolves nudged each other with their massive heads, yipping playfully as they darted amongst the tree trunks. If they noticed her, they didn’t care. They were obviously used to seeing humans.
Jenna’s dour mood lifted as she watched them scamper about. What would it be like to belong to such a tightknit family?
She couldn’t even imagine. She’d spent her life moving trash bags full of clothes from one foster house to the next, doing her best to avoid getting too attached, while dodging the occasional molester. That had been her life, her only world, until she’d aged out of the system.
The process had taught Jenna that she couldn’t count on anyone but herself. There was no such thing as the perfect family. It was an illusion, a fairytale, a dream she’d stopped believing in a long time ago.
Better to live vicariously through animals than to delude herself. At least their instincts were honest.
Jenna watched the wolves interact, marveling at their closeness. If only people could learn to work together for the good of the ‘pack’, the world would be a much better place.

CHAPTER SEVEN
Tonight was the night. Aidan stood in his room, wearing nothing but a pair of low-slung black jeans. His feet were bare as he paced across the carpet, nerves on edge.
Even though Jenna’s room was on the floor beneath his, Aidan kept thinking that he could hear her. It was his imagination. The walls and floors in his home had been soundproofed for Were privacy. What he hadn’t imagined was the sweet aroma of lilacs wafting on the air. The scent followed him wherever he went.
He heard shuffling in the hall outside his door. What if Jenna was lost and needed his help? Without thought, Aidan crossed the room and opened the door before anyone could knock.
Lisa’s arm hovered in the air. Her gray eyes widened in surprise. She lowered her hand and took a step back.
“You called for me, Alpha?”
“Yes, come in.” Aidan concealed his disappointment, ignoring the wrongness in his gut.
The sooner they got this over with, the sooner he could prove to himself and the pack that everything was normal. He was normal . The presence of one human female wasn’t going to stop him from performing his duties.
“It’s been a long day, so if you don’t mind I’d like to get started.” Aidan wanted to find his bondmate and put an end to the tryouts.
Lisa flushed, but stepped inside the room and shut the door behind her. “As you wish, Alpha.” She quickly stripped off her clothes, revealing her womanly body. “Where do you want me?” There was huskiness to her voice that hadn’t been there before.
Aidan pointed to the bed, then his hand moved to the buttons on his jeans. He shucked his clothes quickly.
Lisa licked her lips as her gaze traveled down the length of his naked body.
Aidan had never seen the need for modesty. Like all wolves, running through the woods kept him in shape. He was proud of his form, happy that it pleased both Were and human females, though he’d never acted upon any attraction with a human.
The memory of Jenna’s dilated pupils popped into his mind. He hadn’t imagined the heat simmering between them. Her scent had warmed, grown richer, deeper, when she’d looked at him.
What would it be like to hold her in his arms? Sink into her body? Have her writhing beneath him? His shaft hardened at the thought.
“Alpha?”
Aidan blinked and the room came back into focus. Instead of Jenna, Lisa lay on his bed, her firm thighs slightly parted, giving him a tantalizing glimpse of the moisture gathering in her soft folds.
The sight should’ve enhanced his erection, instead his shaft wilted like an over-watered plant.
She pursed her lips. “I want to touch you.”
Touching was good. Touching
