Chapter 15

In a blink, Corbin shifts. He pounces on me, knocking me to the ground. My instinct is to defend myself, but to my surprise, the wolf with copper eyes makes a gruffing sound and then licks my face.

The embers in my chest flame to life as if drawn to his wolf, filling me with something I cannot name. Hope? Passion? Like meeting a puppy for the first time?

I giggle, wriggling on the ground. His fur is warm and soft. I feel like I could cuddle this wolf. Like my wolf wants to come out to play. A smile blooms on my face as he continues to nuzzle me. Is that what this is? Wolf play?

Who knew Corbin, who’s supremely cocky and broody, would have an inner wolf who’s the opposite. Then again, he’s Alpha wolf, and I doubt he earned that position by being affectionate to the others in the pack.

While I’m still in a state of surprise, Corbin swiftly shifts back to his human form with his arms braced on either side of my head, and with his body angled over me. His brown hair is messy as he leans over, shielding me from the sun at his back.

Our eyes meet. His mouth parts slightly as though wondering what just happened. My gaze drifts to the soft fullness of his lips. I can feel his minty breath on my cheek.

There’s hunger and quiet and curiosity all at once.

“Is this part of the training?” My voice rasps, wrapped in the moment.

Corbin clears his throat. He rocks back on his feet and extends his hand to help me up. Like this morning when I woke up and held his hand, I feel a little lurch inside.

“No, let’s get down to business.” His tone is even, his focus on the fence at my back.

Confused, I tuck my hands in my back pockets.

A surge of energy, like wind knocks me back. I scramble to keep my footing.

Corbin chuckles low.

“Did you do that?” Accusation spikes my voice. “Can wolves do that?”

“Alpha power. I can summon elements. As fae, you likely can manipulate the environment.”

“But we’re focusing on my wolf. I have a wolf, right?”

Corbin lets out a long breath. “I’m afraid you do.”

I squint, confused about where he’s coming from. “Okay, show me what to do.”

“Despite how much you trust or like someone, don’t let them lull you into complacency with talk of French fries, romance novels, or softball. Always keep your hands ready,” Corbin says, circling me slowly. “Use an engaged stance. Muscles active. The first shift is the most challenging, but once your body gets the hang of it, it’s like riding a bike.”

“I don’t know how to ride a bike, or swim, or surf.”

“Seriously?”

I toss my head back and laugh. “Two truths and one lie, baby. Let’s do this.”

He smirks. “A few more things for you to know. After shifting the first time, you might feel especially hungry. In the past, this compelled you to hunt. We no longer consume human flesh so, we’ll make sure you get some grub in the kitchen afterward.
