I had been so damn stupid.
“Hey now, I can see you going dark again. Chin up, Mads. You’re about to explore the forest through a wolf’s eyes,” Rocco remarked.
Surprisingly enough, I did brighten a bit at that. “What’s it like?”
“Gross in some ways. Incredible in others.” Rocco shrugged, his lips lifting in an easy grin. I loved how easily he smiled, and how often he joked. “But both of our wolves will take tomorrow more easily if we’ve let them run together for a bit. Prepare yourself to watch your wolf consume a small animal, though.”
I grimaced at that. “Nasty.”
“Yup. It’s the circle of life.”
I nodded, staring out the window as the asphalt road turned to dirt.
Running around in wolf form didn’t sound romantic, or necessarily even fun, but it did sound relaxing. Soothing, maybe. It would be nice to have a break—to watch the forest fly by, and to see the world through my wolf’s eyes, like Rocco had said.
“Do you think my wolf will like yours?” I asked Rocco, my voice quiet.
“Serious answer, or joke?” he checked.
The question made my lips curve upward. The fact that I was stuck with a guy who was perfectly happy with either answer made me feel better about pretty much everything.
“Serious.”
He considered it for a moment, and I studied him while he did.
Damn, he was gorgeous.
But funnily enough, his attractiveness wasn’t what I liked most about him. That would be his attitude, and his personality. And his smile; he had a really contagious smile.
“Naturally-speaking, our wolves will be more drawn to each other than they could ever be to anyone else. They’re literal soulmates; she exists within you because of him. I’ve never heard of a pair of mated wolves not liking each other, unless she’s going to reject him.”
I nodded. The words relieved me, honestly.
“Logically speaking, your wolf will have a personality similar to yours. She’ll be playful, with a great sense of humor, a stubborn-streak a mile long, and a massive heart. Female wolves resemble their humans much more than males do, because the males have had more time to grow separately. And given that she’ll be just like you, I’d imagine that my wolf will be absolutely obsessed to the point where he’ll do anything it takes to get your wolf to fall for him.”
My lips curved upward further. “Obsessed, huh?”
“Oh, yeah.” He nodded my way. “I don’t think he took his eyes off you once while he was hunting, and he’ll be even more ensnared by her.”
Biting my lip, I fought a full-out grin. “Rocky is pretty cool.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Rocco tossed a hand through the air. “I’m cooler.”
I snorted. “You’re a history teacher. He’s a wolf.”
“Exactly. Brainy is the new sexy.”
A laugh escaped me. “Right.”
“You’re mocking me now, aren’t you?” he protested, though he was wearing a grin.
“Never,” I lied, fighting another laugh as I stared out the window.
“It’s a damn good thing you’re cute, because you are a terrible liar.”
I laughed again, unable to fight the grin any longer. “Thanks, I think.”
