Chapter 146

• As soon as the truck comes to a stop, Edward's lips are on mine and his passionate embrace immediately wipes away any worries that I might have and replaces them with affection and desire. I'm breathing harshly when he pulls back and it takes me a moment to remember where we are. Edward keeps his eyes locked on mine and cradles my head between his two strong hands.
• "We've got this," he says again with a fervent tone.
• Suddenly, his eyes flash into a heart-stopping electric green and I realize that Edward's wolf is making an appearance to show me that he is on our side as well. Within me I can feel my wolf rise and flex her muscles. She's ready for this, come what may. Keeping my head held high, I give Edward a brief nod. Although I can still feel my nerves and insecurities rise, I feel stronger and more determined than ever. Clenching my jaw, I push my insecurities aside. I have Edward and my wolf to support me. Everything will be okay. It has to be.
