Wolf Whistle

“It’s the Mate link. It instinctively reacts like that when you think of anything sexual about anyone but your Mate. You’re stuck with me.” Julien’s tone was deadly serious. “Once you accepted my love, we became Mates. Coitus will cement the bond. By the way, your stipend arrived today.”


“I’m not talking about your salary. I’m talking about the stipend every loup garou gets from the council. Most pack members get two hundred and fifty thousand a year. You’ll get more because you have duties to perform for the loup garou as my Mate. Sean, Donal, and Kane get more than you do because of the gifts they bring to the pack. Armand set you up an account with a loup garou-run bank. I have the checkbook and debit card downstairs.”


“That’s good because I cleaned out my work stipend buying groomsmen gifts for the Mates, and a wedding present for you from Mr. Blanc.”


“When did you get a chance to do that?” Julien arched an eyebrow.
