He knew that his father wasn’t happy with him, but his father knew that Micah was a grown man who wasn’t about to be pushed around by his father, even if he was the alpha.
Micah closed his eyes. He wasn’t going to bet Lucy to go through the mating ceremony with him and he wasn’t going to force her. However, he was going to do everything that he possibly could to win her heart. It was going to be a challenge, but Micah never turned his back on a challenge.

Lucy
Lucy had lied when she told Micah that she had fallen instantly asleep. She had laid awake for a long time, thinking about Micah. She still couldn’t believe that she and Micah had sex. Never in a million years would she have imagined that it would actually happen. It was hard for her to believe that she had felt his hard, sexy body on top of hers as he had filled her aching need for him.
Making love to him had been magical. It was even better than she had ever imagined. He had lit so many fires inside of her that there were a couple of times that she was sure that she was going to combust from the sheer intensity of it. She had loved lying in his arms, snuggling against him, after they had both exploded.
She had to admit that Micah stirred something inside of her soul. The kiss had ignited feelings that she had never felt from any other man. She had wanted him, craved him.
Lucy wasn’t old fashioned, but she also wasn’t one to have sex with just anyone. She knew that she would want to be with someone special. There was no one else in the world that she had even considered being intimate with.
Although Lucy wanted to deny it, she knew that she had felt more than a physical attraction to Micah. Hewasincredibly hot and had made her wet just by looking at him. His touch had made a thousand butterflies flutter in her belly and electricity snap around her.
There was more than just that, though. Micah was an incredible man and Lucy loved being with him. She would even admit that she looked forward to hanging out with Micah and enjoyed her time with him more than she did with anyone else – even her best friend, Ginger.
Lucy was so wrapped up in her thoughts of Micah that she arrived at the café without remembering any of the drive there. She hoped that she hadn’t run any red lights or driven through any stop signs.
“That just means that I consider him a great friend. He is a lot of fun, and I enjoy being with him,” Lucy said aloud, as she parked her car.
A tiny voice in the back of her mind screamed out, “Liar.”
Lucy did her best to ignore the voice as she stepped into the warm fragrant air of the café.
“Good morning,” Clara said, with a smile.
“Good morning,” Lucy said. “I’m sorry I’m late. I had breakfast with Micah and lost track of time.”
“No worries,” Clara said. “How did things go yesterday?”
“We had fun for the most part when we went for our run,” Lucy said. “We ran into a couple of hunters, but they didn’t see us. You were right about how evil and vicious they are.”
“They are demons straight out of the pit of hell,” Clara replied.
“It reminds me of that story I read when I was a kid –The Most Dangerous Game.It was about a man who had hunted every single big game animal in the world, got bored, and decided to start hunting humans.”
“I remember that story, and you are right. That describes those bastards to a T,” Clara said.
“I can almost picture their houses. Instead of having deer heads and bear heads hanging on the wall, which is awful enough, they have human heads mounted,” Lucy said.
“That’s an image I didn’t need to have,” Clara replied.
“I just don’t understand what makes people so evil that they have to hunt people simply because they are different.”
“I wish I knew, and I wish I knew how to fix it. The world would be a lot better place if there was a cure for blind hatred,” Clara said.
“Anyway, after they left, we went back to the area where we shifted. I lost a couple of races to Micah so I had to buy dinner and dessert,” Lucy said. “I tried to tell him that I let him win, but he wasn’t buying it.”
Clara laughed.
“I got my vengeance, though. We went back to my room and played a couple games of chess. I won.”
“What was your prize?”
“He claimed a consolation prize and kissed me,” Lucy reported, her face flushing red.
