plastered a smile on his face while he scrambled to find a way out of the situation.
"Hi, Harper. How are you holding up?" Jake winced internally at the forced line.
"I'm much better now handsome. What say you and I get on out of here?" She slurred the last few words, the alcohol clearly beginning to take its toll on her. It didn't seem feasible that she would be able to remain on her feet for much longer.
"You're drunk, Harper. Why don't I call you a cab, so you can head on home? How does that sound?"
The idea was to see her safely on her way so that he could find her the next day, and perhaps start things off on the right foot. Even his wolf had calmed down now, to the point that he could think clearly. Not having to fight off its cries from within, or the more direct desires of his dick, made turning her down much easier. There was something about an extremely drunk woman that did not turn Jake on.
"What? You don't want me anymore? Am I not good enough for you?"
That last line hit deep, for the pain in her voice was evident to not just him, but his entire table. There were some deep-seated insecurities in this woman about her appearances. Being curvy was not easy in the world they lived in and Jake knew that she must have faced her share of criticism and worse for her looks. He wanted so badly to be able to reach out, tell her that she was, in fact, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
He didn't though. Now was not the time for compliments and flattery. They would have to wait until the two of them could meet in a proper way. Then, and only then, would he be able to treat her the way she deserved, without it causing a huge misunderstanding. If he told her how he felt now, she would only take that as an invitation for sex. That wasn't the type of man that Jake was, so instead of replying to her, he simply kept his mouth shut, a look of anguished pain on his face as she turned away from him.
He wasn't entirely sure what he had expected to happen next, but it definitely did not include Harper going up to the nearest bar-sleaze she could find and practically throwing herself at him. The man was rather husky himself, wearing a gold chain over a black t-shirt that proclaimed NWO FOREVER in big, bold yellow lettering. He was bald, and his teeth were horridly yellow. The scraggly facial hair he tried to grow just made him look more like a useless oaf.
He, however, had no issues with Harper's attention, and his hands began to paw at her body, touching her completely inappropriately. All that was much to the delight of his bar buddies, Jake noticed. There were four other men there, all with the same faded, outdated look.
"I need your he-" he began to say to his friends.
"We're here Jake," Kevin stated, his friends rising as one to follow Jake as he stalked towards the scene.
His wolf had reawakened, its anger flowing through him, the power of his animal infusing his muscles. The smell of other wolves permeated the room as the pack approached, still oblivious to the men, so focused were they on their plaything.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jake saw the bartender frantically signaling the bouncers as he dialed a number on the phone. If things went south, it would be far too little, and far too late for his prey.
Not that Jake wanted a fight, but he knew these types. They often thought they owned the territory, and would do anything to avoid appearing weak on their supposed home turf. So he was prepared for what was likely the inevitable, but he would do everything in his power to avoid it.
"Please, let her go."
Shit.
Being polite was a mistake he realized right away. The slow, deliberate turn that Baldy was doing, as he stood up, was enough body language to tell the pack how things were going to play out. Even the slightly startled look in his eyes when he realized there was more than one person in front of him wouldn't be enough to diffuse the situation. Asking instead of demanding that they
