Roman and I return to the edge of the RV park as wolves. We find my clothes before he runs off to let me shift and return to my friends. When I get back to the girls, they’re hanging out at the table, shucking corn for dinner.

A husk tears as Alisha yanks it, and she asks, “Did you have a good run?”

A huge grin covers my face. “I did. And you’ll never guess who I bumped into.”

“The big dog?”

I nod as I take the plastic cup Chelsea hands me.

“And did some sniffing happen?”

I take a sip of lemonade and swallow the sweetness down before I say, “Something like that.” A tiny aftershock runs through me at the memory of what Roman and I did this afternoon.

Jayden is over by the fire, and I glance at her. “Jayden, I talked to Roman about what happened earlier, and I’m sorry. He had a plan, but I was too angry to let him tell me about it.” I think about that for a moment. Roman could have easily forced me to listen to his reasoning if he’d wanted to, but he didn’t. Because I would have looked foolish in front of everyone. One of the most important things for an alpha—and an alpha’s mate—is to have the respect of the clan. I wonder if he let me go because he realized I needed to appear as if I was doing the right thing.

Jayden says, “Alex called and told me that you’re like our alpha, and he said Roman told them he let you go because he should have talked to you first instead of assuming what he had planned was okay.”

“Hey,” says Chelsea. “I thought I was the alpha.”

Alisha winks at me. “We just let you think that.”

I smile because I like what I’m finding out about Roman. He was willing to take a hit to help me save face. That’s not something a cocky-as-all-get-out werewolf does. I wrap an arm around myself as I sip on my drink, and the warm glow that fills me isn’t from the fire. I think I fell in love with Roman today, because the way I feel about him is stronger than anything I’ve ever felt before.

I walk over to stand next to Jayden. “Are you seeing Alex tomorrow?”

She nods. “I know we’re supposed to go tubing, so I hope you don’t mind that I invited all the boys to come.” She pushes a log to rearrange it, and sparks fly up.

We plan to go a few miles up the river, where we’ll take inflated tractor-trailer tire tubes and sit in them to ride the current back to the RV park. “Not at all. That sounds fun.”

She pulls me into a hug. “Thank you for helping me. I feel like I’m going crazy. I’ve only known Alex for two days, but I can’t imagine living without him. I want to become a werewolf, have his babies, and give up everything I know to spend my life with him.
