. Now that was a break. Oliver smiled.* * * *Oliver browsed the bookshelves in the local bookstore in town.Hehad been here a few times and become friends with the owner, Oliver s Heart 63Murphy.The guy was pretty cool.He had a wide selection that Oliveralways took his time looking through.For some reason, Murphy toldhim that the mates weren t allowed in the adult section, somethingMaverick had forbidden. I got those Japenese Manga books in that you ordered, Oliver,Murphy called to him from behind the counter. Cool, Keata s gonna love them.Did you get all six of them?Oliver strolled over to the counter and leaned over, trying to spotthem. Yep, I even ordered a different set.Should be in next week.Murphy went to the backroom then reappeared with the books in hishand.Oliver took one and flipped through it.He had no idea whatthey said since he didn t read Japanese, but he knew Keata wouldhave a fun time with them. You have to read them from back to front.Mangas are set updifferently. Murphy picked up one of the books and showed Oliverthe order in which it s read.How can anyone remember to read it thatway? Not only was it from back to front but the pages were oppositeas well. Not hard once you get the hang of it. The store owner chuckled. If you say so.I m gonna go find the next book in the series I mreading. Oliver went back to his search.The bells tinkled above the door as Oliver ran his fingers alongthe spines of the books he was looking through. Hey, Oliver.Gonna be much longer? Gunnar yelled fromsomewhere up front.The Sentries elected to wait outside to giveOliver his room to breathe and feel a little less babysat.Gunnar andMurdock had volunteered to escort Oliver into town to get someshopping done while Micah was out on patrol.Six Sentries alwayspatrolled the surrounding forest of the estate to ensure no threatexisted while the mates lived there.Mates were cherished above allelse and were protected fiercely. Almost, Gunnar.Just trying to find my book. Oliver finally 64 Lynn Hagenfound what he was looking for, and he was even lucky enough to findthe next two in the series.Wicked. Murdock wanted to stop for lunch if you aren t in a hurry to getback.Oliver walked to the front to see Gunnar leaning casually againstthe counter.With the size of the wolf, he was surprised it held him.Oliver laid his books on the counter and Murphy set the Manga alongwith it, ringing up his total. I have a special running all next week.Buy one get one half off.If you want to, tell Drew and Cecil about it. Murphy informed him asOliver paid for his purchases.The mates often wandered in here.Thebookstore owner had to keep an eye on Cecil though.He would tryand sneak over to the adult books to try and read through them whenthe others had their backs turned. I ll let them know.Thanks, Murphy. Oliver smiled as hegrabbed his bag. Always a pleasure, Oliver. Murphy waved at the two as theyexited the store. You hungry? Gunnar asked as he scanned the area.Oliver knew with Jackson s crazy followers around%and notknowing who they were%the wolves weren t taking any chances withthe mates. A tad.Something light should do. Oliver flipped throughthe Manga, trying his best to figure the story out by the pictures.Murphy had said to read it from back to front, left to right, yet it wasconfusing. Here you go. Gunnar held the diner door open as Oliver walkedthrough, his nose still in the book. Oliver, over here.Oliver looked up to see he had headed in the wrong direction.Maybe walking and looking through a book at the same time wasn tsuch a good idea.He shoved the book back into his bag and slid intothe booth next to the wolf.The waitress set them up with menus and took their drink orders. Oliver s Heart 65Oliver couldn t help but notice the guys sitting one booth behindthem.They were all out staring at him.He slid a little closer toGunnar as one of them sneered at him.What was up with that guy?Oliver averted his gaze.He was feeling uncomfortable.He heardGunnar give off a low growl and looked toward his escort. I think we just found some more of Jackson s followers.Don tleave my sight, Oliver, Murdock whispered. Don t have to ask me twice. Oliver glanced back up to see thesame man still staring at him.He grabbed the menu, pulling it up sohis face was hidden.He didn t care if anyone thought him chicken.Itwas better than bruised and broken.They ordered their food and ate in silence, Oliver sneaking a peekevery now and again to see if he was still the object of the stranger sattention yep. Let s get out of here.I ll go pull the truck up front while youguard our man here. Murdock tilted his head toward Oliver. Kay. Gunnar grunted, finishing his food.They got Oliver out of the diner and into the truck without anyhassle.He wondered why the show of dislike if they weren t going todo anything, but he was grateful that they hadn t. At least now we know what a few of them look like, Murdockpulled out into traffic and steered them home.* * * * For me? Keata took the books from Oliver and flipped throughthem, his eyes growing misty. Thank you. Keata hugged Oliveraround the waist as he sniffed.Oliver could tell he was holding backtears.He knew Keata would be excited, but he didn t know he wouldmake the guy cry.Geez. I have more coming, so enjoy them. Oliver pried himself out ofKeata s clutches to go find his mate.He was a touchy-feely skinperson, but only with his mate. 66 Lynn HagenKeata pulled Oliver s neck down and kissed his cheek before hetook off up the stairs.Well, okay, so Oliver did feel good abouthimself now.Making Keata happy had given him a warm glow inside.* * * *Oliver snuck up behind Micah, slid his arms around Micah swaist, and laid his cheek on his back. You are aware that you can t sneak up on me? I heard you beforeyou even came close. Micah rubbed Oliver s hands that wereentwined on his stomach. A guy can try. Oliver gave a tight squeeze before releasing him. I got some more books.I think I m going to go to our room andread.Micah tilted back and kissed his mate before he ran upstairs.Hewatched Oliver until he was out of sight.How he had gotten so luckyhe could only guess.Oliver was everything to Micah.He knew he hada dark past, but Oliver had been working hard to get past it and thatmade Micah proud. Hey, earth to Micah. Remi chuckled as he took his shot,knocking the nine ball in. Cheater. Micah laughed.He turned when Maverick walked inwith the most rugged looking man Micah had ever seen.He wasn tgorgeous, per se, but more on the manly side, with a full head of darkbrown hair that fell in waves to his shoulders and a scar that ran fromhis right temple to his jaw.He wasn t even that tall, maybe six one.This must be the guy Maverick said was replacing Jasper.He thoughtgrey wolves were strong and fierce, judging by Zeus.Guess not. Everyone, I would like for you to meet Jason Colt.He is the greywolf soldier Zeus sent over. Maverick turned toward the guy. Thisis Micah and Remi, he pointed out [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
