We all felt Luna’s consciousness when she woke up. What we didn’t feel was her wolf’s.

“Do you think she’ll get her wolf back, Kier?” I had gone to seek him out, needing reassurance. I know he’s working hard, keeping the pack safe while Alpha Quirin is with Luna Kennedy in the hospital. So, I brought him some food. It was a good excuse to go see him.

As busy as he is and as exhausted as he looks, he stops what he’s doing to come pull me into a hug.

“I trust Luna Yara and she says Luna Kennedy’s wolf will come back, so we’re all going to believe that,” he says, wrapping his arms around me. I feel him sigh as he breathes in my scent. I wrap my arms around him and hold him, letting him take strength from the mate bond.

“What do you have planned for today?” he asks.

“I thought I’d go see Christy. I don’t know if I can help her, but I have some understanding of what she went through,” I tell

him.

I’m surprised when he smiles at me, gently running his hand over my hair.

“What is that look for?” I ask.

“You act like a Beta female, even though you haven’t accepted the position yet.”

I blow out a breath. “I think the position is even more scary than being mated to you,” I say.

“Hopefully the idea of being mated to me isn’t as scary as it used to be,” he says, his voice hopeful.

I shake my head no. Then I run my fingers through his hair, smiling when he leans into my touch and closes his eyes. “You may very well be the most patient man I’ve ever met.”

He opens his eyes and looks at me. “If having you as my mate is the prize, I can be patient for as long as is necessary.”

Damn. He’s such a good man and he deserves a woman who isn’t tainted like I am, but he doesn’t care what happened to me in my previous pack. He just wants to love me.

“I got pretty lucky when the Moon Goddess paired me with you,” I say.

“I feel pretty damn lucky too,” he says, leaning down to kiss me softly.

Because I trust him and because I know he needs it, I lean into him, encouraging him to deepen the kiss. He does, his arms wrapping more tightly around me, but he doesn’t rush the kiss. It’s soft and gentle and so very sweet that it brings tears to

my eyes.

When he finally pulls back, he wipes the tears from my cheeks.

“You know, if you cry when I kiss you, I’m going to take it personally.”
