Chapter Seven

“I wasn’t joking when I mentioned I’m the runt of the litter.” Back then, she had no idea how literal my statement was.

“I don’t see it that way, Kyran.” Marjorie lays her head on my shoulder and sighs. “I think you’ve learned how to deal with your issues the best way you knew how. I’m not saying your way works too well for others, but it helps you.”

I gaze down at her, but her eyes are closed. “You never thought of me as a total jerk?”

Her lips curve upward into a smile. “Yes. Of course I did. But that didn’t stop me from liking you.”

“You have a special interest in shady characters?” I’m curious now to hear what attracted her to me in the first place. This is a conversation we’ve never had and I intend to listen to what’s on her mind.

“Not particularly. I usually shy away from guys who seem to have a very questionable background. But from the first moment I looked up from my book and saw you standing there, watching me, I-I don’t know...I just felt this unexplainable pull toward you. This magnetism that I couldn’t control, but found myself powerless to fight against.”

I nod because I can identify completely with what she’s described. I felt the same way. In fact, it was her unique scent that enabled me to locate her in the first place. Once I laid eyes on her, I was pretty much screwed.

“So now you’re stuck with me?”

She opens her eyes and grins. “You say that as if it’s a bad thing.”

“Isn’t it?” I question. Personally, a relationship with me seems like a raw deal.

“No. It isn’t. I’m here by choice, remember?”

I want to believe that, but I’m not sure why certain wolves bond and why others don’t. The process isn’t easy to understand and even harder to make sense of. While it’s true most pairs continue to bond even more after the actual mating act, it’s a well-known fact that pairs can mate without the bond being part of the initial reason and then bond later as they settle in their role as a couple.

“Your choice might turn out to be the incorrect one,” I mutter disgruntledly.

Her hand seeks mine. “Your stubbornness is difficult to bear at times,” she says, interlocking her fingers with mine. “Wrong or right, my choice has been made.”

I see the determination in her eyes. Marjorie can accuse me of being stubborn all she wants, but she’s not far behind.

“Do you remember what I told you the first night you were admitted to the hospital?”

Her nose twitches slightly as the look of concentration on her face intensifies. She’s deep in thought, probably bringing to mind as much of the conversation as she can.

“Well, we spoke about many things.”

I squeeze the hand holding mine. “‘I will never leave you willingly,’” I quote.

Her eyes widen slightly. “You haven’t clarified what you mean by that.”

And I can tell it worries her.

“What we face...it’s not your everyday, common relationship problems.
