Heart of a Wolf

“Actually, I think I’m better off staying here with everyone else.”

“You fit right in too.” His eyes filled with mirth. “You wolves sure know how to throw a party.”

“No,” Fallen corrected him, taking me in her arms before lifting my chin so our lips were a breath apart. “We just know how to live.”

Val clasped her hands beside me, her smile as wide as it could go.

With the entire pack and my own family looking on, I let down my guard long enough to meet Fallen in a hungry kiss. It was the same kind of kiss that made my toes curl and took me all the way back to our very first one.

I could almost hear the bubbling stream and smell the trees, not opening my eyes until I sank in her embrace.

Tilting my head back, Fallen looked at me from under her long lashes, her eyes shimmering with the fire of her wolf.

“Welcome home.”
