Wooing His Wolf

By Charlie Richards

Logan St. Clair made some bad decisions and fell in with the wrong crowd. After believing a fellow wolf shifter’s bigoted opinions, he helps attack their pack’s brand new alpha and alpha-mate...his male alpha-mate. They lose and Logan is exiled. To his shock, Logan is approached by another alpha, Kontra Belikov—a bear shifter who leads a nomadic group of bikers. Even knowing Kontra is mated to a male, the allure of a new pack is too strong, Logan accepts. Most of Kontra’s pack-members are in gay matings, and Logan learns to be polite and accepting of those who are gay, even forming his own opinions.

While Logan no longer loathes homosexuals, he never expects to feel attraction to a guy. That’s exactly what happens, however, when he meets Kai’s human friend, Tyson Grubler. He doesn’t understand it and fights it with every fiber of his being. Except, when Logan sees Tyson head into a club bathroom with a stranger, he loses control of his wolf’s possessive instincts. Logan tosses Tyson’s trick out of the stall and sinks his teeth into a very shocked Tyson’s neck. Realizing what he’s done—started the bonding process—Logan flees. Can he come to terms with what his wolf already knows—that Tyson is his mate?

Dedication

To those who keep on keeping on…may we all find that dedication to keep working toward our hopes and dreams.

Chapter One

We’re going out.

Tyson Grubler looked up from the magazine he’d been reading…well, trying to read, anyway. He must have read the same paragraph six times now. He should have the information about the horsepower boosting performance microchip memorized by now. Glancing between the pair of men, Brock Sanchez and Korbin Harris, two of his best friends, Tyson realized they were both dressed to go clubbing.

Uh, okay, Tyson said, scowling. On one hand, he felt a mixture of relief that they hadn’t told him, because that way, he didn’t have to come up with an excuse not to go. However, he also felt irritation at not even having been given the choice. Have a good time.

Brock crossed his arms over his broad chest and shook his head. Oh, we will, he assured, then smirked. And so will you. You’re coming.

Korbin nodded. Yup. He pointed in the direction of the stairs. Go get dressed. We’re tired of your moping.

Moping? Tyson curled his lip. I’m not moping.

Uh huh. Brock didn’t sound convinced. The man turned and leaned one broad shoulder against the wall. Hey, Tyson. We’re going out to play pool. Wanna come? While he spoke Tyson’s name, he focused his brown-eyed gaze on Korbin.

Scowling, Tyson watched Korbin roll a shoulder. He rubbed his thumb over the carefully groomed, thin, dark mustache covering his upper lip as he grunted. Naw, he finally said. I’m not in the mood.

You sure, Brock asked, pretending to press. Gonna get some beers, hang out.

Korbin shook his head. I can do that here.

Remembering his own words, Tyson growled at having them thrown back at him. Very funny.

Brock rolled his eyes, then shoved off the wall. Oh, we’re not done, he responded drolly. This time, he held Tyson’s gaze as he asked, Hey, man. We’re heading out to go bar hopping. Come with us.

Rubbing the back of his neck with one long-fingered hand, Korbin hemmed and hawed before saying, You guys go ahead. I have to hit the sack early tonight so I can go to my mom’s in the morning. She asked me to paint the shed.

Tyson had had enough. He leaped to his feet and glared at his friends. What the fuck, guys? She really did need help!

Both men lifted hands in placation. Korbin shifted nervously and even Brock appeared somewhat contrite. We know, buddy, Brock soothed. We just wanna get your ass out of the house. All you’ve been concentrating on is your web design for the last month. Brock smiled, then pointed out, All work and no play makes Tyson a dull boy.

Grimacing, Tyson tossed his magazine onto the coffee table. He didn’t miss the hopeful smiles his move garnered from his friends. Where are you going?

"We’re going to The Shiny Penny," Brock told him, grinning gleefully, as if he’d won something.

Hell, maybe he had. The Shiny Penny was a no bias club that catered to just about any crowd…well, maybe not the BDSM blokes, but other than that. Gay, straight, even those looking for a ménage could probably find what they were looking for at the place. The beer was good, the place was clean, and the atmosphere friendly.

Kai and Dorian will be there, Korbin tossed out. Probably some of the other guys, too.

Tyson’s thoughts immediately turned to one particular other guy. The man seemed to pop into his thoughts anytime he didn’t have his mind occupied, which was the real reason he’d been focusing on getting his and his buddy’s website design business up and running.
