His Wolf Protector
Dillon Harris:
The last thing I expected to learn when I confronted my deadbeat dad was that he had a dark secret -- He was a vampire. How could that be? Dead men can't have children. So, how can I exist? And what am I?
Luckily, I have Remy to help me unravel this mystery. He's my best friend's wolf shifter brother, and although I was his little brother’s human gay friend, he has always made me feel like I mattered. At least, I thought I had him until his mafia family's wolf pack rival forced Remy into an engagement with the alpha’s daughter.
Wait, did I say I was human? Scratch that. I'm whatever it is that can see through the glamour magical creatures use to hide from the human world. That makes me the most dangerous magical creature in New York City... especially to whoever ordered my father to compel my mother to believe she was pregnant.
And now I have no one to protect me. Although, from the way Remy undresses me with his eyes, maybe I do.
Am I a lone pawn in a larger game to bring down humanity? Or is Remy, not just the man I've loved since the moment we met, but the knight who will save me from it all?
"Dillon, I’ve been in love with you for so long. From the moment I met you, I could never get enough. Every time you came by to hang out with Hil, I wondered if you saw me. So, when I had you so close, when I had everything I ever wanted in my arms, I was the happiest I could ever be.
"When you left me, I tried living without you. I knew by doing it I would keep everyone here safe. But the request was too much. I can't stay away from you, Dillon. I need you. I'm here to tell you that if you'll have me, I will never leave you again.”
I gathered my emotions, trying to reign in the overwhelming wave threatening to crash.
"Remy," I began softly, "I left you for a reason. You have to be with Eris. Everyone’s life depends on it. And even if it didn't, I can’t be the other woman… or guy… or whatever. If I could, I'd do it for you. But I can't. I'm sorry!"
"But that’s why I’m here,” Remy explained. “I know I can’t just walk away from Eris. But I also can’t live without you," Remy declared baring his heart. "So I'm here to again ask for your help. I don’t have all the answers like my father did. And I’m not him, I can't do this alone. I need the help of the people I love. And I love you.”
