Freddie’s locanda at eleven thirty,” Bruno told him.
    Bernard nodded. “Sounds good, fratello . See you then.” He revved up his motorcycle then turned it around and headed back down the mountain toward town.
    Bruno turned, and froze as he stared at Renee. She’d walked away from them, respecting their privacy. At the distance she’d been, if she’d been quiet, she could have overheard their conversation.
    Werewolves had heightened senses even in their human form. But she hadn’t tried eavesdropping.
    Instead she’d walked back toward the cliff.
    Renee wasn’t a snoop. She didn’t itch to get her nose in other werewolves’ business. Soon she would learn that his affairs were hers too. She honored his privacy. That in itself was a level of trust he respected. There would be no secrets. They would always run together. But he gained even more respect for her seeing that she made no effort to learn firsthand what he’d share with her as soon as he could.
    He drank in her beauty. As he had when he’d first seen her. Black silky hair lifted with the breeze and blew along her back. It almost reached her ass, but not quite. Which was a damn good thing because that ass of hers was breathtaking. Her pale yellow dress hugged the slight curve of her hips, showing off the soft roundness that he’d love to slide his cock into. Just thinking about bending her over, her hair falling over her face and shoulders, while her soft ass was on perfect display for him, was enough to send all blood rushing to his cock.
    The change hardened every inch of his body. For a moment, movement was impossible. He clenched his teeth together, feeling them grow against his lips. His vision grew more acute, and the leaves rustling in the trees around him made his ears ring. He fought the sensation that gripped him.

    more carnal, more primitive side of him cried to come forward. Fuck her in her fur and she’d be his for life. Some traditions held strong and true no matter how modern the pack became. And those traditions ran thick in his veins. Some would call it old-fashioned. But the ancient laws of the werewolves remained intact for good reason.
    Pack law and tradition were what had her running up here to the cliff in the first place. He wouldn’t do anything to force her into mating with him. Bruno knew he didn’t have to. Even though he’d tried searching her mind for proof of her desire for him, he hadn’t found it. But he knew—somehow he knew—even without the gift.
    His legs were stiff when he walked through the trees toward her. Renee wanted him as much as he wanted her. Possibly the ways of packs made it a bit tougher to date, get to know a bitch before mating with her for life. Even if his head remained curious, the pain in his heart wouldn’t throb this strong for a bitch who wanted nothing to do with him.
    “Soon I will head into town.” He needed to make a presence in the pack. Word was out.
    Werewolves would sniff for trouble—it was the way of their kind. He’d be there to help build strength, make sure they knew they’d have a strong new leader.
    Renee nodded, not turning around. She still kept the wall around her mind, shielding her thoughts from him. But her scent wrapped around him, adding to the throbbing in his cock. He inhaled deeply, her rich sexuality, the creamy scent of her skin, the mixture of soap and shampoo and lotions that mixed to create her own special smell. But there was something else—fear, no—anger.
    He grasped her shoulder and turned her around. That’s when he realized she shook with rage. She slapped his arm off her shoulder.
    “You come to me, seduce me, offer me what I’ve always fantasized about, and then announce you are going to challenge our pack leader.” She barely whispered, her body shaking more with fury with every word. “It’s a fight to the
