Claimed and Bred By The Wolf (Shapeshifter Erotic Romance)

By Elixa Everett

Adrianna has always felt at one with nature. From the time she was a child she's been drawn to the majestic pack of wolves that have laid claim on the land around her modest house. On her nineteenth birthday, she meets a dark and mysterious man, who goes by the name of Ian Boyce that she finds eerily familiar to her, but she can't figure out why. And for the first time in her life she feels a desire so deep and feral that she's powerless to fight it.

Ian has spent the past decade waiting for her. He and his pack have protected her and her lands until the day that he can claim her completely; mind, body and soul. At long last the time has arrived, and he plans to take what is his.

Prologue

The snarl of a cougar sounding in the distance stopped the wolf from his own pursuit. As he skidded to a halt, his ears perked up and he listened again and faintly heard the sound of a girl's soft whimpers.

Damn it! He knew who the girl was and deep down inside he felt the burning desire to save her. Without further hesitation he sprang into action, moving faster than his legs had ever taken him, towards the girl, fearing he may arrive too late to save her.

He seemed to have been running for an eternity, when the girl and cougar came into his view just as the cougar was preparing to lunge on its tiny, dark-haired prey. With his heart thudding in his chest he reached the pair just as the cougar lunged.

Leaping, the wolf's body collided with the cougar's in mid-air and the two went toppling to the forest floor; the cougar landing on its back, with the wolf atop him. The wolf snarled and bit for the cougar's throat, but missed and pain immediately followed, like hot stakes being driven into his shoulder blade.

Like a hurt puppy, the wolf whimpered, squirming off the cougar, in an attempt to break free of its painful hold, while making another attempt at its throat. This time he succeeded, his teeth latching onto the cougar, as he sank it deep into its tender flesh, drawing blood.

The two animals' bodies rolled and tumbled across the forest floor, in a bundle of fur, teeth and claws. The cougar's jaw holding the wolf went slack as it cried out in pain, frantically clawing at the wolf, attempting to free itself.

*****

Nine year old Adrianna stood rooted in the spot, her green eyes wide in terror, shock and amazement as the two magnificent creatures battled several yards from her. Her mother had warned her not to stray far from their house, but she hadn't listened. She'd wandered, loving the feel of being deep in the wilderness. The forest was the only place in the world that she felt truly at ease - until today.

The sound of the cougar's cry broke her from her trance and she began to slowly back away from the battling pair as the wolf released the cougar and they both got to their feet and backed away from each other, the wolf placing himself between her and the snarling cat.

The cougar shifted its focus to her and then back to the wolf - as though it were trying to decide if she was worth the additional fight. With a huff, it turned and rushed off into the forest quickly disappearing from her line of sight.

She continued to back away as the wolf turned its focus onto her. The fur around its face and chest was covered in mud and an abundance of blood - whether it was his or the cougars she was unsure. She was about to turn and run, but something in its eyes stopped her. Instead she cautiously approached him and touched his neck around what appeared to be the source of his bleeding.

Thank you. You saved me.

He whined and lowered his head allowing her to stroke his coat. After a minute of allowing her to pat him, he raised his ice blue eyes to meet hers and an understanding passed between them. From that moment on, he was and will ever be her protector.
