“And you’re okay withthat?”
“More than okay with it.” She shifted off of him to stand gracefully, “Just give me a little bit of a head start? It’s been so long since I let my wolf run and she needs it. She wants you to catch her but she needs to runtoo.”
Michael smiled at the woman that owned his heart, “I’ll give you a ten-second head start and then I’m coming for you. We can run together after and I’ll show you our land. Just don’t head back for Crescent territory or my wolf is going to freak the hell out thinking you’re trying to get away fromhim.”
“Never.” She smiled back at him and then leaned down and brushed a kiss over his lips. “I am never leaving you,mate.”
“Then shift.” He commanded as he sat up in bed, finding fresh energy with the knowledge that he’d see Luna’s wolf for the first time, get to run with her and claim her once and for all. When she closed her eyes and stretched her limbs as if she was centering herself, he began to count, “Ten, nine, eight,seven…”
A burst of power and magic flooded the room and Luna winced as her bones broke. Her body contorted and Michael watched as she dropped to a crouch. In the span of a couple of breaths, he blinked and in the place of his gorgeous mate stood a beautiful blackwolf.
“Six, five,four…”
She was small, like Luna. Thin but with powerful paws and legs. Her eyes were the same golden brown he’d seen flash at him before only now they glowed. Her coat was pitch black, just like her hair and skin. Glossy and perfect, she was the most beautiful wolf he’d everseen.
“Three,two...”
She made a small sound and moved forward, nuzzling his hand. He grinned and rubbed her head, scratching behind her ears. Luna’s tongue licked across his cheek and he chuckled and pushed her away as he stood from the bed. She backed up a step and yipped, excitement in her tone and he didn’t think he’d ever been happier than he was in thatmoment.
“One.”
Luna took off out the door he opened for her and then Michael shifted and chased after her. The setting sun bathed them in golden light and they ran together. A small black wolf and a gigantic grey wolf, mated and fated foreternity.
