| stared at him speechless. “All this time.” | whisper, shaking my head softly. “All this time, | thought you had no
idea who | was or what my family had done. When you cup toall arrogant and cocky at school” | smiled
a little as | said it, well, it just confirmed forthat you had no idea who or what | was, and have no respect for
my family’s sacrifice for yours.” ”
His arm tightened aroundmore, leaving nothing but our clothes between us. His warmth seeping into my
skin, his words warmingdeep into my heart and soul. He leaned his forehead down to touch mine. “That
couldn’t be any further from the truth. And | meant what | said. | want you to know who | am. | want us to get to
know each other. | want you to feel pride at being my Guardian, not feel that it's a burden to you and Artemis.”
We danced like that for a few steps, when | finally heard the song that was playing. “Perfect, really? How did you
get stuck dancing this song with me, Alpha?” 1
He lifts his head and cocks an eyebrow at me. “I chose it.”
| jerk my head back in response. “You chose it?” He nods atsmiling “Yep. There were several others that

“What other songs were in contention?” | asked, interested in how he made his choice.
“All ofwhich was a close second, Lover, but it seemed too soon for that one.” | scoffed.
A devilish grin spread on his face. “There was that song from the '50 Shades of Grey‘ movie and if you're into
that kind of kink, I'm sure | can help you out with that.” He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

shining in them?”
“Yes.” He replied and looked a bit uncomfortable. “Would it sound creepy if | told you I've dreamt of those eyes

“Our second date? Are you counting this as a date, Alpha?” | ask coyly.

wolves.
He opened his mouth to say something, when all hell breaks loose.
