Hunter’s spent the past 4 years in hell as a wolf
battling for his life. Now he’s free and found his
mate, Becca. Between the Pack’s council and
strangers who could take everything away from
them, Becca and Hunter have more to fight and
everything to fight for.
He would tell her everything soon, leaving no secret
behind, but right now, he could only
say the words that meant the most.
Finally, he pulled back, his wolf
howling in pleasure. Her eyes had darkened, and her hard
nipples brushed against his shirt.
“I wasn’t worth it before. I needed to make myself worth
you.”
“One step at a time, Becca. Anything you need.”
She sucked on her lip then nodded. “That doesn’t tell me
enough, but I know you’re
trying. I don’t know what I want Hunter. I need choices.”
Fate hadn’t given them a choice, and he wouldn’t argue
with what could be good for him,
but he just nodded.
“I’ll do whatever you want. For always.”
“One step at a time, Hunter. I want to know who you are
and why I feel this warmth
within me every time you’re near. I didn’t grow up with
any of this. I need time.”
He nodded then lowered his head, letting his lips rest
gently on hers. She gasped, and he
licked the seam of her mouth. She opened for him softly,
her breath coming in short pants. He kissed her with a
care he didn’t know he possessed.
He was a wolf, an animal, not someone who was used
to gentleness, but for Becca, he’d
be anything she needed.
He drowned in her sweet taste, relishing her submission.

She smiled at him, and he knew he’d broken through that first
step. Now he just needed to show her he could be hers.
And show the Pack that she was safe.
Easier said than done.
