I rolled over at the nudge of someone's voice pushing into my mind.
"Sorry to interrupt Alpha. But when do I need to set the pack meet today?" Asher's voice pushed through the pack link.
I drug a hand sleepily down my face trying to pull myself awake. "Give us two hours. We have to finish the wolf's bond and then get Huntleigh."
"Yes sir." He responded.
I rolled over and saw Lili's beautiful face still resting beside me, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. Her beauty truly did take my breath away.
I brushed a stray hair from her face and her smile deepened before her ocean blue eyes slowly fluttered open. My heart stalled at the joy radiating between the two of us, humming blissfully between the bond. I let out a quick breath, leaning in to kiss her gently.
"What is it?" She asked, her voice still thick with sleep as she nuzzled closer, blinking up at me.
I stroked her cheek as a smile crept up my lips. "I just don't know how I'll ever get used to this feeling."
She sighed contentedly and leaned up on her elbow, looking down at me as her soft golden hair created a curtain beside us. "I know. I never knew I could feel anything even close to this. I only wished that I'd get a fraction, but now...I never knew it could be like this Rhett."
I pulled her down into a kiss, holding her lips against mine as a satisfied growl rumbled in my chest. "There's only one more thing to do to finish the bond."
A quiet giggle broke our contact as she pulled back to eye me, raising an eyebrow as she peered down at me. "Oh? And what is that?"
She let out a breath and and leaned into me, tucking her hair behind her ear as her eyes fluttered down. "That has a nice ring to it doesn't it?"
I tugged her chin to look at me as I brushed my lips against hers. "Are you ready?" She smiled and gave me a short nod. "Let's go for a run."
We threw in our clothes and headed straight out the back door, jumping over the side and heading into the trees. I quickly shed my clothing and tucked them into the tree beside me as she stepped closer, stepping out of hers and dropping them on top of mine. Long gone was the shyness and hiding from before. She was mine and every inch of her belonged to me as I did to her.
We shifted together and her white wolf stepped forward, shaking her fur before looking back over her shoulder at me as her gorgeous blue eyes glowed playfully back at me. My own dark brown wolf pranced to stand beside her, brushing his side against her as she licked my nose and bumped her head against mine.
"Race you to our spot." I pushed into her mind.
She snorted and without waiting, she took off ahead of me. My wolf growled and pushed off, rushing to catch up to her side as we ran side by side. My wolf stayed just beside hers as we raced through the trees, weaving in unison through the forest until we slowed. We came to a stop and walked toward the ledge we'd shared our first true moment together on.
