His eyes burned into mine. “I’ve been in love with you since the moment I learned what you were to me. You’re fucking perfect.”
I smiled, and he kissed me again.
Then, we finished washing up together. Though we were playful, and we had a good time, neither of us tried to make the moment more intense.
We were just enjoying being together, as friends.
And I couldn’t help but think maybe that was what a true mate was supposed to be.
A partner.
Someone you could trust and hold on to for your whole life.
The sex was incredible… but simply having a companion to share my life with was starting to sound even better.
I’d never expected to find a mate.
I’d never expected to care about a werewolf.
But I was so damn glad I’d failed at staying away from him.
“I was right about him from the beginning,”my wolf purred.
I laughed. There was no point in lying about it.“You were. You picked the perfect mate.”
And life with him was going to be so damn good.

MADD—A FEW MONTHS LATER
A popular countrysong about having sex in a truck played on the radio while we drove down the dirt road toward our cabin.
The windows were down, and the wind tossed Love’s short hair around wildly. It kept catching my attention. Every time it did, she smacked my arm lightly, laughing and telling me to focus on the road.
I didn’t give a damn about the road.
Not when my mate was right next to me, her gorgeous smile lighting up everything around her.
Our pack had been growing even faster since word got out that we’d provided sanctuary to multiple blood wolves.
“You don’t get to hike for long,”my wolf grumbled at me.“I want to run with my mate.”
“You’ll get the chance,”I said.
The grumpy bastard didn’t think it was fair for me to spend time in the forest without giving him the reins. I didn’t disagreecompletely, but Love had asked me to hike with her in my human form, so the wolf was going to have to deal with it.
Despite his complaints, I knew he wouldn’t mind.
Not when she smiled at us.
Love had settled into the pack more quickly than I’d ever expected after she reduced her hours to three days a week. She was involved in everything, and both the mated women and the unmated male enforcers listened to her and respected her more than they did me.
If it didn’t make me so damn proud, it would’ve annoyed me how much they liked her. She belonged tome.
She squeezed my thigh as she stared out the window, her body relaxed and her expression happy. “Life is simpler out here,” she said. “We should get away from Wildwood more often.”
“I wish it was easier to do,” I admitted.
