Chapter 497 – Free And Clear

• I hold my breath as I watch my cousin cross the newly formed bond in his soul, watch him hold the Goddess fire to the side as he wraps his arm around his little mate, holding her close to his chest, pressing a kiss to her hair. She cries into his chest for a moment, her hands wrapped tight in the fabric of his shirt.
• But then he murmurs something soft to her, and she nods, and he smiles at her. And then they get to work.
• I watch, my fists tight beneath my chin as Jesse begins to work with the fire, careful not to touch the oil himself. His wolf races across the bond next, eager to help. To my surprise my wolf goes with him, snatching some of the fire out of Jesse’s hand and holding it between her teeth, carefully working to spread it around Midnight’s soul and get rid of all the oil splashed everywhere.
