Chapter Eleven

Clint had to admit that seeing the jaws of the High Council members dropping in shock made for a pretty gratifying sight. It wasn’t every day that you managed to shock the most advanced wizards and shifters in Torch Lake, but it also wasn’t every day that you found a wizard skilled in ancient magic.

Sunny had just finished explaining to the High Council who she was, and their reactions had been even better than Clint could have hoped for. Perhaps it was childish of him, but he had an almost overwhelming urge to stand up and say “Booyah! Looks like I wasn’t such a lazy, terrible government employee after all.”

He resisted the urge, of course, and sat silently with a stoic expression on his face as he waited for the High Councilors to speak. As for Sunny, she looked about as nervous as Clint had ever seen anyone look. Her face was pale and her eyes flitted anxiously back and forth between the High Council members. She stood tall, though, and Clint was damn proud of her. He knew it hadn’t been easy for her to get up and talk about her old clan, and about everything that she’d lost. But she had prepared well for her speech and made it through without leaving out anything important.

She looked lovely, too. Absolutely lovely. She’d traded in her barista apron for a pair of black dress pants and a simple white blouse. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and she was wearing just a hint of makeup. Clint could have kissed her, again. If the entire High Council hadn’t been in the room right now, he might have tried it.

He still couldn’t believe that he had actually kissed her the first time. He’d been so overwhelmed with gratitude when Sunny had knocked on his door to tell him that she would help, that he hadn’t been able to hold back. They hadn’t discussed the kiss, which made things slightly awkward between them. After the kiss, Sunny had blushed, then turned around and ran back to her house. Clint worried that he’d made her upset, but the next morning she’d come over at the crack of dawn to ask if she could talk to the High Council today. She wanted to get things moving before she lost her nerve, she’d said.

Clint had been happy to agree to that, and had arranged the meeting he was now sitting in. And since Sunny hadn’t mentioned the kiss, he’d told himself to follow her lead and not talk about it either. But he couldn’t stop thinking about it. And he couldn’t stop thinking about her. What was he getting himself into? It wasn’t possible that Sunny was his lifemate, was it?

Clint wished he could talk to one of his friends who had already found their lifemates. He wanted to know what they had felt when they first saw the woman who would become their lifemate, or when they had known. How they had known.
