The Alpha's Nanny - Sam Crescent Page 0,16
he got a rare smile from one of the women was after the proper protocol had been shown. He never thought he’d find his alpha status so irritating.
“Just tell me what you’d do.”
Lucas stared at him for several seconds, maybe even going as far as a minute. “Are we talking a wolf female here or a human?”
“Is there a difference?”
“Yes. A wolf female, you can be rough and hard. Taking her out for a run, rather than a nice long walk. I haven’t been with many human females, and some of them, they want to be wooed. Dinner, chocolates, flowers, even jewelry.”
“And it doesn’t differ?”
“Women are not all the same, Alpha. You’ve got to know what each one is like. Kind of like an equation, I think. I don’t know. The human female is alive and in your house. If you’re wanting sex, there are plenty of women who would gladly sleep with you.”
“With all due respect, most of the women who want a place in my bed also want the spot at my side, on my arm, mated for life. Not going to happen.”
“Has your wolf shown any signs of wanting any woman?” Lucas asked.
Winter.
The name echoed around his mind as if his wolf was talking to him at that very second. He didn’t want to have to deal with his wolf at this time. Keeping a lock on his emotions, he instead focused on the man before him.
“If that’s all, then I’m going to go and do a sweep of the perimeter.”
“A group of women are celebrating Brian and Amber’s upcoming wedding. They’re planning a trip into town. They’ve asked if they can take a couple of men with them in order to keep them safe.”
With Winter and Daphne, he’d forgotten about Brian and Amber’s union. Six months ago, they’d declared their mating but also wanted to join their lives together in marriage. For some wolf couples, they were content to just be mates, but Brian and Amber wanted it to be different. He couldn’t blame them, even though he didn’t see the point of it.
As a mated couple, they were set for life. No reason to make the necessary payments for another one that was only really needed by the church. Still, he wasn’t going to judge anyone.
“I’ll make all the arrangements to guarantee their safety.” He nodded at Lucas and let him know those were their final words before he took off, running toward the perimeter of the woods. Once he got to the edge, he slowed down his pace and concentrated as he took stock of the fence, breathing in deep to detect any new scents.
Humans were trying to figure out ways of covering their asses, and so far, they had been unsuccessful, but that didn’t mean they would ever stop trying to fuck with them.
His thoughts once again drifted to Winter. Did she need the usual crap a woman wanted?
Flowers?
He’d never picked flowers for a woman or bought them. Winter wasn’t like other women though, either. He’d observed women. Human and wolf.
Why did he even give a fuck?
Like Lucas said, there were plenty of willing women in his own world who would gladly sleep with him. It wasn’t like it was going to be a task for them. Shaking his head, he went back, and by nightfall, he’d checked the perimeter three times with no signs of any damages.
Seeing no reason to prolong his journey or avoid going home, he started to walk back. As he came to the edge of the woods, he stopped. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a bunch of wildflowers. They were startlingly beautiful. Even though it was night, he had amazing vision.
Bending down, he picked a handful and then finished the journey home. He hid the flowers behind his back, bidding the guards to leave before he entered his place. The scents of onion, garlic, and tomato were heavy in the air. He breathed them in and went straight to the kitchen where Winter was cooking.
Baby Daphne was in the high chair while Winter stood at the stove, holding a book in one hand, reading as she stirred a sauce. He noticed it wasn’t too late. Normally, she left him alone for dinner.
“Evening,” he said, startling her.
“You’re back.”
“Yes, and these are for you.” He lifted the wildflowers up for her to inspect.
“You bought me flowers.”
“I picked them as a thank you for everything you’re doing for me.”
“You really didn’t have to do that.”
“I know. I
