Chapter 7

Ronan settled down by the fire with Josh, Caleb and the others in the main hut that the outsiders used for meetings and meals.

“So Christy finally shifted, huh?” Lola grinned.

He nodded, unable to hold back a smile too. Christy was beautiful in both human and wolf form. “Too bad the magic side isn’t so easy,” he murmured. For me too, he thought. He couldn’t use it the same way Christy could, and he suspected that was the curse.

“So are you guys together now?” Lola wagged her eyebrows.

Josh snorted. “Yeah, Walker. That princess of yours is one good-looking wolf – for a royal I mean.”

“I wouldn’t say no.” Caleb smirked, jabbing Ronan in the ribs with his bone of meat.

He glowered at them. “I’m not jumping into bed with her just because of our…situation.”

“Yeah, come on, Ro. We both know you’re crazy about her, so what’s the problem?” Lola demanded, chewing on her own peace of chicken.

“Maybe he just doesn’t know how to,” Caleb suggested, and they all burst out laughing.

Ronan scowled and stormed off. It wasn’t that simple. He didn’t just want Christy because they had a chance to be together now. He wanted more than that.

He stalked back towards the camp. Wished he could shift and run, but there were only so many places he could go on this damn island without being killed.

Instead, he ran through the woods, feet pounding on hard earth as he circled the woods and camp three times.

Ronan didn’t know why he’d said no to Christy. Yes, they had a chance to be together and yes, he wanted her. He’d loved her for as long as he could remember, yet he needed more. No amount of assurances from Magda about being destined to be mates mattered.

Rain pelted down him, a storm rumbling in the distance, lighting up the night sky. He ran back through the camp straight into Christy’s hut.

She sat on her bed cross-legged reading through a pile of books. She looked up and rose when he came in. “Hey, I can’t believe they managed to keep books here,” she gushed. “There’s even information about your clan’s lore.”

Drops of water fell from his hair. “Are Magda and Lola coming back?” he asked, breathing hard.

“No, they moved to another hut, it’s warmer there for Magda,” she said. “I think I found a way to–”

He wrapped one arm around her waist, used the other to cup the back of her head. He captured her mouth in a kiss, drinking in the taste of her. Christy moaned, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He kissed her long and hard, his fingers tangling in her long silky hair. The way he’d wanted to do for years. This kiss was filled with years of longing and repressed desire. She pulled him closer, pressing her body against his. Ronan nuzzled her neck, savouring the smell of her.

Mine, his wolf growled. Mate. He felt fangs protrude from his mouth, ready to bite her. Make her his.

He pulled back, breathing hard.

“What’s wrong?” Christy gasped, staring at him wide-eyed.
