Read Lone Wolf Pack 06 - A Future for His Werewolf Warrior for Free Online

Peter person, or the reaction he caused in his mate. He growled lightly, which drew Ward's gaze to him. He almost feared he'd frightened his mate, but Ward smiled. He plopped down on the couch and gestured for Mathias to sit with him, and Mathias quickly took his mate up on the invitation.
    He ended up with his head on Ward's lap, Ward's hand petting his fur. It felt nice, Mathias couldn't deny that, but he also knew his mate needed it as much as Mathias did.
    Ward's voice was calmer when he added, "My life is none of Vera's business—or yours."
    "I think it is," Peter replied. "If you forgot about me so quickly, I can only imagine what you'd been doing behind my back when we were dating. Do I have to go get tested?"
    Ward's fingers tightened in Mathias's fur, and Mathias let a hint of magic reach out to his mate, soothing him. Ward took a deep breath, Mathias's presence and power anchoring him. "I never cheated on you, Peter. You were the one who decided my sister was better than me. And for the record, I did go see a doctor after we broke up, and my tests came out clean. If yours are different, you should ask yourself what you've been doing since."
    "This isn't about me," Peter hissed. "You're trying to turn this into another accusation when I was only ever—"
    "Please, Peter," Ward interrupted him quietly. "Just stop. You have what you want, a normal marriage, with a woman who can give you your white picket fence happily ever after. Leave me alone."
    Without waiting for a reply, Ward ended the call and tossed the phone on the coffee table. "I really should block his number," he said with a sigh. "Why can't I do it?"
    Mathias lifted his head to look up at his unhappy mate. He wanted to hunt down the asshole who'd hurt Ward like this, and the helplessness and the jealousy were almost crushing him. He should have been there for Ward instead of stupidly pining over Will.
    Ward hugged Mathias's head and buried his face in his shoulder. "Stay. Let me... Just let me hold you."
    Mathias didn't move, but as his mate's hot tears soaked his fur, he swore that somehow, he'd make sure Peter didn't get away with this. 
    He didn't know how long they stayed like that, with Mathias's mind working furiously and his heart racing painfully, his entire sense of self thrown by his discovery of his mate, and the realization of said mate's grief. When Ward finally released him, though, he made Mathias's decision for him.
    "I'm sorry about that. Ex. Brings out the worst in me every single time." He sighed and rubbed his red-rimmed eyes. "He'd probably say I'm crazy, talking to you like I do. You don't understand a word I'm saying. Even crazier that I wish you were a person..."
    Mathias knew he couldn't perpetuate the deception any longer, not if he wanted his mate to forgive him and open his heart to him. He leaped off the couch and put enough distance between then so that Ward wouldn't be too scared once he shifted.
    When he was as ready as he was going to get, he allowed his magic to surge forth and summoned his human form to the surface. A heartbeat later, he was standing on two feet, facing a wide-eyed Ward.
    "I am a person, and I'm here for you."

Chapter Four
     
    Ward liked to think he was a pretty open-minded guy. God only knew he'd had his brushes with the more uncommon or less widely accepted behaviors. But when the wolf in his living room shifted into a man, he really had a moment during which he questioned most of his life choices.
    "Okay. That's it. I crashed the car, didn't I? I'm dying in a ditch somewhere."
    The man—who was even bigger and more impressive in this form than in his wolf one—took a step forward. "Don't say that, Ward, please."
    The sound of his name on the stranger's lips was distracting. Or maybe it was the fact that the guy was completely naked and had all his dangly bits out for Ward to see. Either way, if this wasn't a hallucination fueled by impending death, it could only be a dream, because wolves didn't
