She was everywhere

It felt like no matter where Cooper went in the days following the Farmer’s Market he coulde Cosme

Word of her existence always found its way to his ears the pretty, dark skinned lady energipe was wor wandered the town like a tourist, which meant he caught sight of her just as often as he heard the going

There was no escape and it frustrated him to no end.

At least she hadn’t tried approaching him since that first day. If anything, she ignored his existence and that was sen

couldn’t figure her out and it was pissing him off more every single day until he’d finally had enough

On the fourth morning after the Farmer’s Market, Cooper was walking by the local bakery and glanced inside. There she was sitting at one of the tiny tables set up for patrons. A cup of coffee and what looked like a biscuit of some kind sat in fronter

scrolled her phone.

Before he knew what he was doing, Cooper found himself inside, standing opposite the she-wolf he’d wanted to avoid with every

his being only to fail miserably.

“What do you want?,” he snapped.

The she-wolf looked up from her phone, dark eyes meeting his in surprise. Fuck she was gorgeous but he wouldn’t be swaved by a prel face. He wouldn’t. “Pardon?” Her voice was clear and crisp, a hint of the surprise he saw in those eyes of hers colouring her tone. How could she be so calm right now? He’d basically turned his back on her the other day – the universal sign for go away – and yet she i

“What. Do. You, Want.” Copper couldn’t stop gritting his teeth as he realized he’d been staring and forced himself to look away. “You

don’t belong here.”

“Uhm. Okay. Have I done something wrong?”

not today. Not ever Pulling out one of the oth Was she playing dumb? She had to be playing dumb. Cooper wasn’t having any of it chairs at the table, he sat down and glared at his mate. “You know exactly what I’m talking about Don’t play coy

She blinked once before setting her phone on the table. “I’m not playing coy, it’s an honest question. Have I done something wrong? aren’t happy I’m here that’s obvious but hell if I know why.”

“Why are you here? Why are you still here?”

The she-wolf opened her mouth and closed it almost immediately, as if she’d changed her mind on what to say. Ah-ha, he thought. S knew exactly what was going on.

That wasn’t what he’d expected her to vay He’d expected denial, some other coy answer she’d jumped right in with only a little hesitation

“Well,” he grunted, running a hand over the scruff on his face Maybe he should have shaved that noirz than what he’d thrown on. And… Cooper caught himself and let out a low growl “Well you got to talk the me

“I will. Eventually,” she told him with a small nod as she picked up her coffee and took a sip

“Eventually?”

“Yes. Eventually.”

This wasn’t going to work. She had to leave now, not eventually. That wasn’t fair. She couldn’t just show up and ruin everything I need to do for you to go away?”

“Have breakfast with me,” she replied with a shrug.

Cooper stared at her for a handful of seconds. “That’s it…?”

“Yes. Have breakfast with me, here, every morning for the next week, and I’ll leave; you’ll never have to see me again after that.”

“No catch,” she assured him with a small shake of her head. “Let’s say… nine o’clock? For half an hour? Would t

Narrowing his eyes, Cooper debated his options. By accepting the offer he would be rid of her within the work whic meant he’d need to spend time with her and stuff. He didn’t want that. At all.

Hello, rock and hard place. Fancy being stuck here yet again, he thought as he let out a sigh. “Fine. But make seven y He made sure to put emphasis on those last three words.

This wasn’t going to plan; not that he’d planned any of this but that wasn’t the point. He’d wanted her to get up, leave-storm off. preferably – and never return. Unfortunately, she appeared to be adamant about sticking around for a while. Ugh. Just ugh.

Why did this have to happen? He shouldn’t need to deal with this again – didn’t want to deal with it again.

“Fine,” he growled, getting to his feet as he gave her what he hoped to be his best glare. “I don’t want to see you anywhere else

otherwise.”

He watched her brows arch upwards at his statement and he finally realized her hair wasn’t just pulled back super tight like he 2 firs thought; she didn’t have any at all. What woman willingly shaved her head? What was that about?

Nope. He stopped that train of thought before it left the station. He did not care. He did not want to know. None of it matter. Nothir about her mattered other than getting her the hell out of town.

“Are you expecting me to do as I’m told?,” she finally asked after a couple seconds.

“Yeah,” he replied. One of the reasons Cooper had chosen the life of a lone wolf was because he was dominant Alpha of his former pack to feel safe keeping him around. Leaving had been the easiest solution for everyone, so that’s what he’d do and had yet to look back.

“Well, I’m sorry to tell you this but I’ll be doing what I want in my free time.”

Cooper froze, a frown creasing his brow. She was… defying his direct order? Sure, they weren’t pack, but dominance transcended tha
