Chapter 43

• Devin’s heart hadn’t slowed since she’d touched him while he was on four paws. Never in his adult life had a woman that was not from his own family touched him while he was in wolf form. That small piece that had allowed him to hold onto his restraint had faded quickly after her hand had caressed over his coat. He didn’t think it would mean as much to him as it did, added to the fact that he knew she was his mate, and he was in trouble.
• Now all he had to do was explain that he was her mate and the position he held within the community and Alliance. Devin planned to tell her, once he was sure she was ready for more.
• He watched her out of the corner of his eye as she read over the archives of her family history, still surprised she was taking everything as well as she was. In the back of his mind he was waiting for her to scream and run for her car to escape the weirdness of his world.
