“Fuck patience,”my wolf growled in my mind.
“Pretty sure I did that in the bathtub.”
“And look where it got you. Your mind hasn’t been this clear since we caught her scent.”
I wished the bastard was wrong.
“She’s proven she’ll fight with me as much as she needs to,”I said.“I can’t force her to do a damn thing.”
“Convince her to run with me, then. I’ll talk to her wolf.”
It was probably a bad idea, but what could it really hurt?
Before I opened my mouth to ask her, Lovene reached the kitchen and leaned over the countertop. “My wolf wants to explore. Can you point us in a good direction for a run?”
“We’ll join you,” I said.
She dipped her head in a nod. There wasn’t an ounce of surprise on her face. We hadn’t known each other long, but it had been long enough for her to figure out how I’d react to her walking away from me in any form.
I grabbed her a bottle of water from the fridge, handing it over before I led her out to the porch. She drank as we walked, then set the bottle down near the swing. We stripped together in silence, then walked down the porch steps.
As soon as our feet were on the dirt, our wolves took over. Even after a lifetime of shifting, it still felt good.
Vee’s wolf rubbed up against mine immediately. Her chest rumbled with a soft purr, and my wolf nuzzled her back, glad to have her close.
“Your partner is being difficult,”my wolf grumbled to Vee’s, though he was still snuggling with her.
“Yours is being too demanding,”hers countered.“He needs to stop fighting with her.”
“He’s going to ease up,”my wolf said.
I sure as hell hadn’t agreed to that, but he wasn’t wrong. If I had to relax to make peace with my mate, I’d figure out how to do it.
“She needs to stop avoiding him,”my wolf added.
“Her boss told her to take as much time off as she needs to. I’ll make sure she doesn’t leave this cabin until they’ve figured their shit out.”
I didn’t think Vee would be thrilled about her wolf sharing that information, but I was glad she did. I’d been fighting the urge to call the bakery’s owner and ask what it would take to get her a few weeks off work. I’d known it would piss her off, so I’d resisted, but it hadn’t been easy.
The wolves slipped into the forest together, and spent the rest of the day out in nature. They ran, played, and hunted together. The simplicity of it made me ache to find that with my female.
Not just the simplicity, but the peace.
Fuck, there was nothing I wouldn’t do for a bit of that peace.
When our wolvesgave us control again, it had been dark for a few hours.
Vee’s side bumped mine as we finished shifting, and I couldn’t stop myself from grabbing her waist to keep her upright.
The woman didn’t need my help, but I couldn’t resist the urge to touch her anyway.
“Sorry,” she murmured, pushing her wild bangs off her face before she stepped away.
“Don’t apologize for touching me,” I said, squeezing her hip lightly before I forced myself to release her.
She nodded, striding up to the porch’s stairs.
I couldn’t stop my eyes from following her figure. They travelled over her smooth, toned shoulders, down that gorgeous back, and to her small, tight ass.
