Dear readers, in my Werewolf tale, the 'Were' live openly among humans.
The primary character, Juliana Macon lived her entire life as a human, until suppressing her wolf, caused a negative impact on her emotionally. She began to accept her need for her wolf after deciding to live with other 'Were' in the community of Panola Mountain.
The dilemma she continues to face is her wolf's desire to be equal to her human side.
~
Andrew Rover Constantine is the quiet member of the group of Julie's friends who live in the City of Panola Mountain.
So far you haven't heard much from him.
Just like the others, he is in denial of his wolf's nature.
He has the love and support of his friends, but he's not very comfortable with the person or the wolf in the mirror.
In this chapter, sage ole Alex is trying to help him navigate through his journey to self acceptance.

"Hiya Rove," said Rex, sitting his tray of food on the table. "Mind if I join you?"
"Hi," said Rover, looking over the rim of his glasses.
"Sorry to interrupt you and your cell phone," said a smiling Rex. "Is this seat taken?"
"No of course not. Please sit down," said Rover to the strikingly good looking man. "I see why Alex tried for a whole week to get his attention," he thought.
"I'm Rex Dadogg, the new guy in the graphics department," he said offering his hand to Rover.
When Rover accepted his hand, he saw the ring Rex wore on his right hand. It had the same symbols; blue and purple triangles, that supposedly meant he's Bi. "I wonder," thought Rover.

Over the next twenty minutes or so the two men exchanged basic information about each other, beyond name, rank, and serial number.
The same scene played out over the next two days. By Wednesday Rover was sure their lunchtime meet-ups weren't a coincidence, Rex was interested in him.
~
Rex was a member of a pack; the famous Vikings of Minnesota. He lived in the city, but returned to his pack to shift about once a month. He dated human and 'Were', but not seriously.
He joked that he and his wolf were metro-sexual, and all of his friends were cool with that.
Rex always smiled easily and maintained eye contact as they talked.
"He's not an Alpha, maybe he's not even a Beta, but I feel some type of dominance coming from him," thought Rover.

Wednesday afternoon:
A bubbly Alex walked up beside Rover as he walked along the long corridor toward the data center, where he worked alongside the network administrator.
Alex was one of the trusted people who knew that he and his wolf secretly liked cock.
But Alex was the only one of them who'd ever seen his wolf.
~
Everyone else figured he was the typical computer nerd who preferred computers over women.
The fact is he loved women a lot, he just happened to be a loner.

"So, I see Mr. Dadogg likes you," said Alex teasing. "He certainly wasn't interested in me; I fanned my scent under his nose for a week. He never even looked at me." She laughed.
"I want all the deets if he hits on you," she said, then headed to her office in H R. "I will look at his bio, and let you know if I see any red flags.
"Thanks Alex, you're the best," said Rover, giving her a quick peck on her lips.

Rover had to admit that he was a bit disappointed when he didn't see Rex the rest of the week.
Alex had peeked at Rex's file, and found that he was on loan to the design team from the company's Minneapolis branch. "You have another week to allow him to seduce you," she said, laughing. "We girls do it all the time."
"Thank you, Alex. I appreciate the info," said Rover. "And thanks for the advice."

Friday afternoon shortly before quitting time, there was a knock on Rovers partially open office door. "Yes, it's open," he said . "Give me just one second." Holding up his index finger to illustrate the point.
"No worries," said the voice he instantly recognized as Rex's.
'Hey you," said Rover, responding in a more feminine manner than he normally does. Then he smiled at Rover.
Rover smiled back at him and then said, "I thought I'd surprise you, by stopping in and inviting you to have a beverage, and a bite to eat with a few of the people from the graphics department.
"They've tried to keep me entertained since I've been in town. If they see I've made a friend maybe I can get away from them this weekend." Then he laughed.
"Sure that would be great," said Rover, bearly maintaining his composure. "Where're ya meeting them?"
"It's a sports bar, 'Jock Straps' I think is the name."
"Yeah, I know where it is," responded Rover.
It had been quite a while since Rover had hung out with a guy. In fact he hadn't hangout with anyone in a long time, unless you consider chatting online with a couple of regulars in an online chat room hanging out.
So Rover smiled and said, "Save me a seat."
Rex looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled, and said, "I will see you in a little while."
After Rex had gone, Rover was processing his response to seeing Rex a few minutes ago. He had been caught off guard, when he showed up at the door. His femme side had come to the surface before he realized it.
Rover was certainly no Omega, but he had accepted that he is sexually aroused by more dominant wolves, whether they were male or female. They always brought out his femme side, and his natural instinct was to please them.
If Rover were honest, he'd have to admit that he wanted Rex to have is way with him.

At 'Jock Straps' in the early evening:
The six member graphics department was crammed in one booth. The boss was sitting at the open end of the booth, in a chair borrowed from a nearby table.
There were plenty televisions in the bar, as well as a good sized Friday night crowd. Rover was thrilled to see at least one TV was showing a bicycle race. He made a mental note if that.
The food was good, especially for a quasi restaurant. Once a huge amount of meat was consumed by the wolves in the group, there boss paid for everyone's dinner except for Rovers. Rex insisted on paying saying, "I'm the one who invited you," looking at Rover, and smiling."
The party broke up about an hour later. Everyone wished Rex a good weekend, and said feel free to contact one of them if he needed any assistance with anything.
After they'd gone outside Rex looked at Rover and said, "I guess it's just you and me."
"Yep, you me and the game, "said Rover, his eyes glued to the Big City baseball game.
"Does that mean I should shut-up and let you watch the game?" Rex asked, now sounding less upbeat.
Suddenly Rex was less confident about Rover. Had he read him wrong, his scent said he was somewhat submissive. His demeanor when Rex had dropped by his office definitely pinged, now he couldn't be sure.
He didn't want to insult, or piss him off, and the absolute last thing he wanted to do was embarrass himself.
~
Rover's eyes were focused on the TV screen, but his heart was pounding. This was always the time and place where men he'd liked, punked out.
He knew it might look like he was being a tease, but he wasn't. If Rex was aggressive enough and persistent enough, Rover and his wolf would worship Rex's and his wolf's cock.
~
Rex decided he had read him right; it was just a matter of breaking the code. Besides, his nose is never wrong, he was sure he'd smelled submission on Rover. So he sat on the bar-stool next to him and watched the rest of the game.
Over the next half hour Rex noticed Rover's scent change along with his demeanor as they talked about the game. "Too bad a couple of our guys don't play as good as they look," said Rover, with a flirty tone.
Rex grinned and bumped Rover's forearm with his forearm, and then said, "Is that why you watch the game?"
Rover smirked playfully, and then said, "Chicks dig the long ball"
"Now he's talking about chicks," thought Rex. "Maybe he's Bi."
Both men sat quietly as the final out of the game was recorded. Big City had lost another game. "It's gonna be another long year," said Rover as he waited for Rex to pay their tab.
When they walked out to their cars, Rover invited Rex to meet him in the nature preserve Saturday morning.
Rex jumped at the invitation.

Saturday morning at the bike path trailhead:
When Rex drove into the parking area; Rover was standing astride his bike while Alex, Julie, and Lacy were stretching.
