Chapter 82
Kyle growled softly and glared at him for mentioning it. I just rolled my eyes at the two of them.
“So, there you have it. It took many weeks to complete the tattoo and I’ve been drawing ideas since, so yeah, that’s how I got to know Cole. I just found out that he’s on the Council. Well, just found out there even was a Council.”
That cleared the air and made the table chuckle. I suddenly noticed the surrounding tables leaning in closer trying to listen in.
“Wait? Black? Cole, you tried to convince her to change it to a black wolf?” Cole grinned sheepishly and nodded as Kyle glared at him. “Kelsey, do you know that Cole’s wolf is black?”
I laughed, “I didn’t then, but I do now. Kyle wasn’t exactly happy to hear that and I had no clue why. I just knew it could only be my guardian wolf. No other. And a black wolf certainly wouldn’t do.”
Cole shrugged looking smug, like he’d tried, what more could he have done.
I looked at Kyle and he grinned and leaned in and kissed me sweetly to the awe’s and eye dabbing of those surrounding us.
“That’s so romantic,” Sandy sighed.
We were amongst the last to leave for the night and many others had come by to talk to us and introduce themselves further. I was never going to remember them all, but it was nice of them to go out of their way to make me feel welcome
Alone at last, I cuddled up to Kyle’s side in our bed.
“So, how did you think it went?
“Rough start, but you had them eating out of your hand by the end of the night.”
“I did not.”
“You did too. And Cole’s ribbing and retelling of your tattoo I think melted everyone within earshot.”
“You guys are never going to let me live that tattoo down are you?”

Chapter 82
He peeled back the covers and pulled my nightgown up to my waist. Carefully he started tracing and really examining my tattoo. He frowned, feeling the rough ridges and skin grafts it was designed to hide. He leaned down and kissed the damaged area.
“Does it hurt?”
“No, not anymore.”
“I hate that you went through all that. It kills me that I wasn’t there to protect you.”
“Kyle, I was twelve. There’s nothing you could have done, but you’re here now and more than I ever hoped or dreamed for.”
I couldn’t read the expression in his eyes, but I felt the emotion and passion behind it when he kissed me. When we made love that night I cried, overcome with emotions. It was nothing like previous, his love poured over me and there were no coherent words even through our bond as we moved as one. I had wondered before if I would be capable of taking another life to guarantee my position in the pack and at this man’s side. It was then that I knew there was nothing I wouldn’t do for Kyle or to be with him. I didn’t know it was even possible to love someone so much.
“I love you,” I told him for the first time meaning every word.
