Last Wolf Standing (#7, The Mystic Wolves) Read online

  “Tonight?” she asked, looking pleased with the suggestion.

  “Unless you’d rather postpone until another time so you can get settled in?” I didn’t like the idea of postponing the start of this mating game humans seemed so bent on, but lifetimes spent as an immortal did tend to teach one patience. I could wait for her as long as I needed to.

  “No, no. I think tonight sounds just fine. It’ll give me something to look forward to.” She smiled widely and it made her even more beautiful, if that was possible.

  “Great. We have a date then,” I replied, grinning.

  “It’s a date,” she agreed and I realized I hadn’t quite used the slang right. I needed to get with the program. Otherwise I might as well walk down the street wearing a shirt with “ALIEN” stamped on the front of it. I didn’t want to raise red flags before I even got started.

  Standing, I extended my hand, as was customary on this planet. “I’m looking forward to it. Shall I pick you up around seven this evening?”

  “I look forward to it,” she replied. Such simple words, and yet they were the finest I’d heard in eons.

  Jogging down the front sidewalk, I continued on my way to my secret running place. I definitely had some pent-up energy to expel, and I truly hoped no one would notice my obviously pulsating groin as I moved. Gym shorts weren’t exactly the best disguise for . . . how did humans put it . . . a raging hard on?

  Sighing, I decided as soon as I was done with this run, it was time to observe some more television. That was one of the easiest ways for me to learn the customs of this planet; yet it was mildly entertaining, too, so it didn’t seem like work.

  All in all, I’d say my time on Earth was shaping up pretty nicely so far. I was definitely looking forward to seeing what the future held.
