Lucas stood tall, meeting Raphael’s stare-down head on. “I would’ve liked to have met you before we bonded, but we found ourselves in a bit of situation and Claudia needed the added power boost.” He held out his hand. “It’s nice to finally meet you. I hope you know that I’ll do everything I can to make sure your sister is happy and well taken care of.”

“Are you going to make her change?”

I choked on air at the blunt question. Before I could say it was none of his business, Lucas spoke up. “Never. If she wants to change, that’s up to her. She’s my mate either way.” He didn’t even bristle at my brother’s sharp tone.

Raphael crossed his arms. “None of this forced biting like the guy my cousin hooked up with.”

“Absolutely not.” Lucas looked to me. “What Dastien did was wrong. He knows it. He was young and couldn’t control the urge. But I’m not young. Okay?”

I nodded. My life was complicated enough without being a wolf, and for once I wanted to think things through before jumping in. For the time being, it was enough to just be me.

“Let’s go,” Adrian said. “Don’t want to miss the flight. Tessa is freaking out. She thinks Luciana is up to something.”

I sighed. “She’s always up to something.”

“Well, this time it’s extra bad.”

When it came to Luciana, it was always bad. “You got the stuff?”

Raphael held up a small gym bag. “Although how we’re going to get a hand past security…”

I winced. “We’ll figure it out.” Lucas ran his fingers down my arm, until he reached my hand, twining our fingers together. “Let’s get this over with,” I said.

“And then on to the next chapter,” Lucas said. “Maybe we can pick up a travel book in the airport?”

I grinned up at him. “That would be amazing.”

As we left, I knew that we had some big things to do before we got to have our time together, but I was aiming for the stars. And I’d be more than happy with the moon. It was fitting, too. I’d have the moon and the wolf.

As we got in the taxi, I leaned against Lucas.

“Everything okay?”

I looked up at him. “Everything’s just fine.”

He pressed his lips against mine, and I melted. When he pulled away, I leaned against him again. “Yup. Everything’s just fine.”
