together. You’re my mate, and what causes you to be

unhappy does the same to me.”

Her expression softened and she touched his cheek. “I

get that. And I don’t blame you for what happened to me

because you would’ve given me the option to be turned if

you could have.”

“That’s true.” He kissed her forehead.

“What I’m saying is you can’t magically make me happy

with being part wolf.” Pausing, she searched his face.

“Think back to when you were turned. Was there anything

anyone said that made you accept it? Or did you just need

time to get used to having your life turned upside down?”

“I needed time,” he admitted. “But I hope that getting me

as part of the deal isn’t what’s making you unhappy.”

“Oh, Ryon,” she breathed. Softly, she took his mouth in

a lingering kiss, twining her arms around his neck. “I am

not unhappy with you. On the contrary, I feel pretty darned

good about us. Can’t you tell?”

In truth, he’d been shutting off his awareness of their

connection, afraid of being inundated with her scorn. Her

anger. But her words encouraged him. Opening his senses

tentatively, he found the golden bond stretched between

them, thrumming with life. Some anxiety threaded through

her emotions as she struggled with her wolf.

But much stronger was her affection for him, growing

steadily into a richer connection. Every minute, she was

falling deeper for him, and it both surprised him and took

his breath away.

“Yes,” he whispered. “I can tell. I feel the same way.”

“Give me time to accept my wolf?”

“Anything you need.” Quickly he rinsed away the

evidence of their loving. Stepping out of the shower, he

grabbed two towels and handed her one. As they dried off,

an idea occurred to him and he grew excited. “How about

we go for a run tomorrow, in our wolf forms?”

“I don’t know . . .” Her brown eyes were worried.

Through their bond, he sensed her fear of the physical

pain and hurried to reassure her. “The first shift hurts like

a bitch, but it’s never like that again, I promise. The more

practiced you get, it’s like breathing. And when you let

your wolf out to run, the rush is like nothing you’ve ever

experienced.”

“Really?” She began to show some genuine interest.

Letting his towel fall to the floor, he pulled her to him.

“Yes. We’ll be together, too. It’ll be fun, you’ll see.”

She bit her lip. “All right, you’ve talked me into it.”

He gave her a sound kiss. “You won’t be sorry.”

“What about the creature that’s out there, and the white

wolf?”

“We’ll keep an eye out and be cautious.” He thought

about the other wolf. “I don’t think the white wolf meant to

harm you when she pushed you.”

“She did a good job of it anyway, even if it was an

accident.”

“She led me to you, after you shifted and were in pain,”

he said thoughtfully. “I think maybe she was trying to

protect you the other day.”

“From the creature?”

“It makes sense.”

“But what’s she doing here in the first place? If she’s a

shifter, why doesn’t she simply approach the compound

and request entry?”

“I don’t know. But I have a feeling we’ll find out,

sooner or later.”

“You’re probably right.”

Padding around Ryon’s place, they took their time

getting dressed.
