Read Alpha Love (California Bears #4) for Free Online

handsome men and enchantingly beautiful women walking past her made Aubrey start to feel a little self-conscious.
    She didn’t hate her body. But she didn’t love it either.
    Seeing all the skinny, small waisted women made her feel odd for having full hips and plump thighs. She had texted Tatum but she didn’t hear anything back yet.
    I can’t believe I’m doing this. Aubrey declared to herself as she wobbled through the open front door. In the corner of her eye, she caught a hallway mirror. She stopped right in front of it, gazing at her reflection.
    I feel so stupid getting all dressed up for a guy that already has a girlfriend— a gorgeous one at that.
    Aubrey pushed her way through the throng of wall-to-wall people, dancing and chitchatting with mixed cocktails in their hands. She spotted a doorway to the garden up ahead and thought some fresh air might do her some good. As she stepped outside, Aubrey chugged down a glass of champagne someone had handed her.
    “You might want to take it a little easy on that...” A dark voice asserted.
    Aubrey swung her attention over her right shoulder and gasped, recognizing the man who stood at her side.
    “Logan Lachlan?” She gushed, almost spitting up her champagne. She didn’t know whether or not he’d still be angry about her forgetting her lines.
    Logan Lachlan was known for being a cruel and vicious tyrant behind the camera.
    “So, are you trying to hide out too?” Logan asked her, looking upon Aubrey’s ample curves with hungry eyes.
    Aubrey shook her head. “No, it’s just that I got ditched by the person who invited me...” Aubrey said, looking down into her empty glass.
    Logan Lachlan had these piercing crimson colored eyes, and he wore a crisp refined suit. He glanced off into the night.
    “Why don’t you and I take a walk...Forget about what happened earlier today. I promise...I’m all bark and no bite,” he spoke with a low growl.
    Aubrey took a step back not so sure.
    “You know what, it’s fine. I need to be going, but thanks for the drink,” she said, turning to walk back into the house. She studied Logan closely, staring at his dark rakish hair, his perfect posture and his toothy smile.
    Despite her reluctance, Logan grabbed Aubrey by the wrist and led her forward.
    “If you really wanna make it in showbiz, Aubrey. The first thing you gotta learn is you can’t get anywhere without offering a few... favors ...”
    “Favors?” Aubrey muttered, feeling really uneasy.
    Logan approached closer, craving to taste upon Aubrey’s parted lips and wanting to feast upon Aubrey’s perfectly luscious breasts. He forced her against him and their lips met. Aubrey gasped, feeling nothing but pain as he invaded her mouth with his tongue.
    She struggled “ No , Logan. Stop, it! It’s not like that...”
    A dreadful smile stretched across Logan’s cheek and sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, as he spoke hot against Aubrey’s neck.
    “Don’t you want to be a star?” he growled, hugging Aubrey against himself and sliding his hands up over her breasts. Aubrey was trembling, feeling Logan’s arm wrapped around her neck. Terrified, Aubrey noticed fur sprouting from his forearms.
    She whimpered when Logan pressed her up against his crotch.
    “Let me go!” Aubrey shrieked.
    But Logan wouldn’t and a more sinister gaze burned in his eyes. A noise rustled through the trees and a black shadow loomed over them both. When Logan turned, a snarling bear bared its teeth before trouncing Logan onto the ground. Aubrey squirmed helplessly as she tripped backwards in the grass. Suddenly, under the light of the moon, the bear’s body shrank smaller and smaller right before her eyes.
    Aubrey squinted her eyes, now staring at a stark naked musclebound man. Then she stifled a gasp when she recognized his face.
    “Hey, I’m not here to hurt you. It’s me, Tatum,” Tatum growled.
    Aubrey clutched her heaving chest, her eyes rolled backwards as she collapsed and
