Chapter Twenty

Alex

I stood perfectly still in front of Zee. Her eyes were wide as she looked at me, but I couldn’t smell any fear. For the first time I was frustrated that I couldn’t talk. I wanted to know what she was thinking. She moved her hand towards me, and I flicked my ears forward and wagged my tail just a bit. I felt foolish as hell, but I didn’t want her to be scared.

She held her closed fist to my nose like she was greeting a strange dog. If I could have laughed, I would have. Instead I gave her hand a sniff and then flicked my tongue across it. Her face broke into a huge grin and she giggled. Her little fingers threaded through the hair on the top of my head.

“So soft,” she whispered as she ran her hand through my fur. She reached out with her other hand and rubbed it down my neck and chest. My eyes slid closed; her hands felt great. I moved forward and pressed into her legs, trying to get her to scratch down my back. My tail hadn’t wagged so much since I was pup. Thank fuck the other guys weren’t around, they wouldn’t have let me live it down.

“Thank you, Alex,” she looked into my eyes and I yipped at her. “You’re beautiful.” I barked out the closest thing to a laugh. Nothing a guy likes more than being called beautiful. I backed away from her and shifted back. Her smile was breathtaking, and her eyes were full of excitement.

“You should never call a guy beautiful,” I told her chuckling, “but thanks, and thanks for not being scared of me.” I sat back on the log beside her and pulled her hand into mine. I threaded our fingers together, marveling a little at how she had just run them over my wolf form. She scooted closer and leaned her head against my shoulder.

“You weren’t scary,” Zee’s reply as quiet. “I know I freaked out when you first told me. I wasn’t scared of you, but of my world changing. Then I was afraid of losing you or losing myself. I didn’t know what our relationship would be like. I still don’t know. I can’t tell you if I can ever change into a wolf to be with you.”

“I’m not asking you to change,” I put my arm around her and pulled her closer to my side. She fit so perfectly, almost like she was made for me. A crazy though to have about a girl who may not stay with me. I’d just have to persuade her. “And as for how our relationship will be, I’ll show you.” I tipped her chin up and pressed my lips to hers.

Over the next week, if Zee was working, I threw myself into pack work. The moment she was off I would take her out. The weather was cooling rapidly but we both enjoyed spending our time outside. One of us would pick a spot and would hike together.
