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.
