Chapter Eight

Sierra

Our joining was too amazing to even put into words. I feel different somehow—older, wiser, settled. Maybe now I am truly a woman and no longer the child I run from. The only other man I’ve been with was pleasant enough after the first time we had sex, but it was nothing like this. What I just experienced was a joining of more than two bodies. Sarn completed me in some indescribable way. My blood pulsed to the beat of his heart and I felt a current traveling from me to him and back again. I could rest within his arms for centuries and be satisfied.

The only thing strange is that my wolf is surprisingly quiet. Maybe for once, she’s as content as I am. I finally pull my head from Sarn’s shoulder and look into his eyes. He immediately avoids my gaze.

What the hell?

He will not turn away from me after what we just shared. “Sarn, are you all right?”

He laughs, but it’s not a pleasant sound. I reach up and jerk his hair so he’s forced to turn back to me. “You will tell me what’s wrong,” I demand.

His stare makes me cold. There is no violet in his eyes; they are black and filled with despair. His words turn my warm body to ice. “Joining with you should be different. I thought maybe you could replace my dead bride. I was wrong. I’m bound by a curse that will haunt me forever.” He looks away and I see the tears he’s somehow holding back. “I told you I was no good,” he whispers.

I can’t believe he has said all of this after our incredible joining. Are all men this dense? I think about my brother and father. It makes me realize that yes, they are. Sarn’s words hurt, but I also see and feel his pain. I need to take his suffering and wrap it in my love so tightly that none escapes.

I run my fingers over his jawline and just the corner of his lips. The electrical current when we touch is still there. Can’t he feel how special this is? I tip his head so he must look at me. He closes his eyes and I wait. He inhales deeply before he finally gazes at me again.

I give him a soft smile. “If you think a few hurtful words will scare me away, you’re wrong.” I lean down and bite his shoulder hard enough to make my point before meeting his gaze again. I watch the outer circle of his pupils go violet once more. “I don’t care about curses and mates and brides.” I kiss him softly on the lips before pulling away just a bit. “I care about you and me for as much time as we can find. Don’t be stupid and try to take that away, Sarn. I have no intention of letting you go just yet. And…” I pepper several small kisses on his lips. “I would much rather make love than fight.
