Big Bad Wolfie novel Chapter 67

Maria's POV

I can't believe this is happening.

I can't believe the is actually happening.

I got through to him!

We got through to each other!

I guess running head first into life or death situations is a great way to bring people together!

Who knew?!

Well, I think some wise man probably said it once. . .

But who cares?! I'm just so happy!

I can't keep the smile off my face.

I can't even bring myself to care about the backlash we'll get from my house and his pack alike!

I'm holding his hand. . .

Jeez, I feel like a teenage girl with a crush.

. . . Oh wait. I am.

But. . .

This is more than a crush.

Stories don't do the mate bond justice.

I should have a chip on my shoulder for everything he's done to me.

But all I care about are the happy tingles I get in my neck where his mark is when we are holding hands.

I tried to look at him through the corner of my eyes.

I wonder if he feels it too.

Jason's POV

We're not far from our territories now.

It's been a couple of hours since Maria and I had our talk, but Ki and I are still feeling all giddy inside.

And we're still holding hands!

I'm way too excited about this, but I can't help it.

Ki, on the other hand, is banging on his cage in anticipation for something that probably won't come for a while.

It's tragic, but true.

Calm down Wolfie, just because we made amends doesn't mean we get to jump her bones the second we get home, I chuckled.

Sadly. . .

'If you start calling me that, I swear to a thousand moons I will take control of your body and force cauliflower down your throat.'

I hate cauliflower!

'I know!'

F*ck you.

'Actually, I'd rather f*ck Maria.'

Jeez Malaki, Is there ever a moment when you're not thinking about that?

'No.'

Of course not, you horn dog.

We passed some of the land marks that meant we were about to reach the border of my pack, where everyone decided to meet and rest before they headed off to their own territories.

A sense of dread filled me.

I went ahead and mind linked Zach and told him to direct the others to their rooms and the kitchen and what not.

I have to confess to the sh*t call I made.

I dug the grave, and now I have to lie in it.

But what does that even entail?

There are going to be consequences for biting off more than I can chew and they're going to affect my pack.

I feel like such an idiot.

It's not the first time, but it's definitely the worst.

I get into office, and the first thing I do is get into the wrong crowd. I let Abaddon convince me to do something I didn't really want to do. Something I knew was wrong.

Dillan would never have let this happen.

How were we even born of the same mother?

He's so much better than me at. . . At everything.

He would have been the perfect leader.

And I would have found Maria, and we would have been able to be happy without my idiocy getting in the way.

But the hybrids took him.
