You wanted me to meet your wolf? – Me
The last time you saw him, it was under different circumstances. – Xander
At the restaurant.
And I wanted to introduce him to Rafe. – Xander
He neared me with a slow prowl and nudged my leg. I lowered my hand and dragged my fingers through his fur before I lowered to my haunches and brought Rafe to the ground, propping him between my legs.
Xander dipped his snout, nudged him in the stomach, and moved back. Rafe smiled and extended both his arms. Before I could react he took unbalanced steps, moving toward his father.
My mouth dropped open as Xander moved back, slowly forcing Rafe to take more steps.
He’s walking. – Xander
No shit and your wolf is what made him do it. – Me
Don’t be jealous. – Xander
I’m not. – Me
I wasn’t jealous but I was pouting. These two would share something I would never get to experience. But it was delightful and special.
Rafe grasped at his father, tugging at his fur, bringing his nose down to him. I removed my phone and snapped photos and videos, watching the two of them get acquainted. After a while I sat on the steps enjoying the two of them, trying to make sense of how this was my life. I was mated to a wolf, our son would be one as well one day, running freely on this land in his wolf form. As strange as it all seemed, it felt right.
After watching the way our son was completely at peace with his father’s wolf form, I realized I was a little jealous. Their bond was something I would always be on the outside of, looking in.
I think I’ve changed my mind. I am a little jealous. – Me
Xander’s eyes landed on me. God, he was exquisite. Another reality that slapped me in the face. This massive beast was exquisite to me. Incredibly sexy and had my blood thrumming in ways that shouldn’t have been possible.
Our bond is just as powerful. – Xander
Maybe but it’s not the same. – Me
No, it’s not. But the same way he and I will run these grounds together, you will teach him how to protect them with the bond you share. – Xander.
My magic.
Then I will be the one feeling left out and maybe a little fearful, at least until you get a handle on things. – Xander
Asshole. – Me
I stepped off the porch and lifted Rafe into my arms, kissing his cheeks. When I pulled back, he placed both hands on mine leaning into my face, landing a giggly, sloppy kiss.
See, nothing to worry about. – Xander
I glanced at him and rolled my eyes.
Are we staying? – Me
If that’s okay with you. I want to stretch my legs a little now and maybe again in the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve gone for a run. My wolf is anxious. – Xander
Alone? – Me
I frowned past him, glancing out at the woods.
Xander approached and circled me before leaning into my side.
