Chapter 9

Rebecca

I return from lunch a little bit late, only to find my store completely filled with wolves. Abigail quickly fills me in on the excitement of the day and once Jemma’s mother is reassured that her daughter is going to be fine, the group disperses. Soon, it’s only me and Brandon alone in the bookstore, but he looks tired.

He looks completely exhausted.

“Forget about dinner,” I say on impulse, and he looks at me in surprise. “I don’t know what to make, anyway,” I confess. “I’m a good cook, but I get nervous, and then I seem to forget how to do it. That’s not the point,” I shake my head.

“What is the point, sweetie?” He asks quietly, but doesn’t come over to me.

“I think you could use a drink,” I say. “I think we both could.”

He nods, and I make sure that both the front and back doors of the shop are locked.

“Don’t worry about losing sales,” I tell him. “We’ll have a special next week or something to make up for this afternoon.”

“I’m not worried. I trust you, Rebecca. Completely. You should know this by now.”

I take his hand and guide him up the stairs to my apartment.

“I know,” I tell him, and then we go inside. My apartment is small, but comfortable. Cozy. I’ve done my best to make it seem less like a studio apartment I’m renting and more like a home.

Moving through the room, I pour two glasses of whiskey. When I turn back around, Brandon has made himself comfortable sitting on my bed. I don’t have a couch. The bed really is the only place to sit, aside from a single chair at a small kitchen table. I join him on the bed and hand him a glass.

“To us,” I say, holding mine up.

“To you,” he offers in response.

“To me?”

“The most beautiful girl in the world.”

Blushing, I down my whiskey and he downs his. Then we set the glasses on the nightstand.

“Today was long,” Brandon says. “I loved spending time with you, but coming back to work was difficult. That’s the thing about leading a wolf pack, you know. I never know when someone is going to need me. I never know when something big is going to happen.”

I place my hand on his. “You’re giving me a chance, Brandon. Even though I’m damaged and scared and worried, you’re giving me a chance. I’ll give you one, too.” It takes all of my courage, all of my bravery, all of my energy to say how I feel, but you know what?

Chris would want me to be happy.

I loved him with my whole heart, but I think Brandon is right.

I think my heart really is big enough for two.

I grab Brandon’s shirt and pull him close to me, kissing him. I kiss him to show him that everything is going to be okay. I kiss him to show him that it’s going to be just fine. I kiss him to show him that I love him, that I want to be his mate, that I want to be his bride.
