CHAPTER 11
***STEVE***
The fire was burning down, but Steve didnât want to move. Chloe was curled up under the sleeping bag with him, and for the first time in days, his mind and body were both calm. All the tension and uncertainty had drained away the moment he realized that she was his, and now laying with her naked skin pressed up against his, her hair tickling his chest, he just wanted to enjoy the beginning of what he knew was going to be a lifetime of loving her.
Smiling because he turned into one of those men, he lifted his head and looked down at Chloe, overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude. She looked up at him. âWhat did we just do?â she asked. âI felt something...I donât know, I canât explain it.â
âItâs the bond I was telling you about,â he said. âUntil Matt had it happen to him, we all thought it was just...well, a legend or something, but I guess itâs real. You donât mind, do you?â
âNo, I mean, I donât think so, but you didnât really explain what it means,â she said. âI know I said I didnât care...â
âItâs not complicated,â he said, then hesitated. âBasically, it means that weâll want each other for the rest of our lives, sort of like weâre tied together with an invisible chain.â
She was quiet for so long, he started to get worried. âIs that why I could feel what you were feeling earlier?â she finally asked. âThatâs what really made up my mind. I was pretty sure before, but then...â
He smiled down at her. âIâm not exactly an expert,â he said. âI think weâre going to have to figure this out as we go.â
âWhat about the legend?â Chloe asked. âWhat does it say?â
âI donât really remember the details, but it has something to do with the fact that weâre wolf shifters specifically,â he said. âAs human as we are, there are some aspects of the wolf that rule our behavior. We feel most comfortable when we have a social group or a clan, weâre suspicious of outsiders, and I guess most important to us, we mate for life. But you didnât answer my question.â
Chloe grinned up at him. âSorry, I got sidetracked,â she said, then reached up and stroked his cheek. âNo, I donât mind. This has all been a bit...eye opening but wonderful. Youâre just going to have to give me a little time to catch up. Thereâs something thatâs still bothering me, though. I still havenât remembered why Iâm here or what I was doing out there that night.â
Steve laid back down and pulled her back into his arms. âIâm sure it will come back soon,â he said. âAnd if it doesnât, I think we know enough now to find out.â
She was silent for a second. âWhat if I donât remember because Iâm a terrible person or something?â she finally asked. âI blocked that night because it was frightening. I canât help but think I donât remember the rest because.
