Tagging Her Lynx (Alaska Lynx Clan) Read Online Free Page B

happened. If you must blame someone,
blame the men who are causing all the deaths and damage." Granger removed a towel from the rod on the wall.
    He
turned on the pump that ran the water and wet the towel. Patting her face, he wiped
her mouth and calmed her stomach. "Now that you know the truth, I'd like
you to come home with me. I can guard you better if you're under my care."
    He
led her back into the living room. She stopped. "The animals…"
    "We
have people who can come here and heal the animals." He rubbed her back.
    She
shook her head. "I've already healed them. They won't survive out there
this winter. They are used to having me feed them." She sighed. "They'd
never remember how to protect themselves from predators."
    "You
have the gift to heal?" His eyebrows came up. "You've been using this
power?"
    She
nodded. "Why?"
    He
broke out into a grin and pulled her close. "You're the alpha female of
our clan. Your lynx is very strong and powerful. No other female Lynx in Alaska
possesses such an important ability anymore." Granger chuckled. "Though
it's strange that you have this power, since I've only heard of healers born
within my own bloodline, never of one not born a shifter…You have a lot to
learn, my life mate."
    "I
don't understand anything, Granger." She wrapped her arms around his
middle and laid her head against his chest. "I'm scared to death,
mourning, and yet, I know that we need to stay together. I do feel it, but…"
    "One
step at a time." He enclosed her in his arms. "Just now I called out
for a few of our people. They will come and work with the animals, stay with
them in the wild for a few days and help them relearn what they have forgotten
to do naturally."
    "That
can be done?" She smiled.
    He
squeezed her tighter. "Of course." Granger inhaled, pulled back, and
nodded. "Let's pack you a bag, and I'll take you home. It's time to meet
your other family."
    Granger
left her to gather her things and went outside to talk to the men who'd come to
help the animals. Chloe grabbed some clothes, and because she had no idea when
they'd be back, she removed the picture of her parents on their wedding day
from its frame, placed it between the pages of a book, and secured it in the
middle of her pile of clothes.
    Somehow
she'd have to get a message to the Norfalls and ask them to check on the house
periodically. Chuck would be able to do that the weeks he ran his trapline. He
often stopped for coffee with her dad those days.
    "Ready?"
Granger stuck his head into the bedroom.
    She
nodded. "Give me a minute to put my outer gear on."
    "No
need. We'll have to travel fast, and it'll be much easier if we run." He
removed her backpack from her hands. "I'll give this to the guys, and they'll
bring it home."
    Chloe
didn't budge from the room. "Uh, Granger?"
    He
turned back.
    "I
can't shift on demand." She bit her lip. "I have no control over when
it happens." She attempted to smile. "Maybe if you make me really mad
or upset, I can try to shift. It seems to happen when I'm out of control."
    He
winked. "I got it covered."
    Chloe
clamped her teeth together and narrowed her eyes. Not able to read his
expressions, she doubted his mischievous grin meant he was up to anything good.
    "What're
you doing?" She stepped back and crossed her arms. He matched her step,
not letting her get away, and untangled her arms. His gaze never left her eyes.
Unable to find the desire to fight him, she allowed him to pull her T-shirt
over her head. Without a bra to hide her breasts, her nipples peaked. He
lowered his chin and sucked in a breath. Her pussy grew damp under the lustful
gaze he gave her body.
    "You're
more beautiful than I imagined." He trailed his fingers underneath each
slope of her breasts, then lifted, weighed, and admired the way her nipples
tightened even more. "Rose petals in fallen snow." He licked his
lips. "That's what your breasts remind me of…So creamy white, yet here…"
He circled her areola. "And, here…" He lowered his
