Friends to Lovers — Preston Walker

“I have something to tell you,” Dylan replied. He looked away, regarding the silvery water a short distance away. “And you have to promise that you'll…that you won't do anything rash.” Uh-oh. But, he could take it. He had to take it. He kept his gaze fixed on his best friend. “I'm ready. What's on your mind, Dilly?” For a moment, Dylan said nothing. And then he sighed. “I'm pregnant.” The word seemed to have no meaning; it was only a sound, if an astonishing one. It was a word too large to have only one meaning, to be confined to a single purpose. Dylan was pregnant? “Oh,” was all Ryan could manage. Someone has stolen a werewolf child… Ryan Castle is the leader of his pack, sworn to protect the wolves who follow him with his life. If that means testing out a magical wishing well for himself, so be it. The well is supposed to show wolves their true mates, and he's a dedicated bachelor… so, what can it hurt?
