Chapter 47

Kade

Abby kissed me.

For half a second, I forgot how to breathe.

Then instinct took over.

My hand tightened at her waist and I kissed her back.

She rose onto her toes, fingers sliding into my hair, and every bit of control I had been carefully rebuilding for weeks nearly disappeared in one breath.

Knox surged forward.

Mate.

I knew.

Goddess, I knew.

Abby pressed closer.

She was laughing a second ago, flushed with excitement because she had managed to put Knox on

the floor.

Now there was nothing playful about the way she kissed me.

I pulled her tighter against me.

Then her weight suddenly dropped.

I caught her before her knees hit the floor.

‘Whoa.”

Her hands locked around my shoulders.

“I’m fine.”

I looked down at her.

“You’re falling over.”

Her cheeks were still pink from training. Her eyes were bright.

Too bright for someone whose legs had just stopped working.

“You’re done for tonight.”

“I’m not.”

“You almost collapsed.”

“I stumbled.”

“Of course.”

Before she could argue again, I bent and lifted her.

“Kade.”

One arm went beneath her knees, the other around her back.

“I can walk.”

“You’ve already failed that test.’

She narrowed her eyes at me.

I started toward the door.

She wrapped her arms around my neck anyway.

That felt dangerously good.

By the time we reached the hallway, her head had settled against my shoulder.

The packhouse was quiet. Ryan had kept everyone away from the training wing while we tested Diana, and most of the families staying in the main house had already gone to their rooms.

Abby’s body relaxed more with every step.

“You tired?”

“No.”

Her eyes were closed.

“I’m resting them.”

“Of course.”

She made a soft sound that might have been a complaint, but she didn’t lift her head.

Knox was still pacing beneath my skin.

Not aggressive.

Restless.

Satisfied.

Diana had surprised him.

She had surprised all of us.

I had expected her to be faster than an ordinary newly shifted wolf eventually. Stronger too, maybe.

I had not expected her to throw Knox onto his side after less than an hour of training.

The look on Abby’s face afterward had nearly destroyed me.

Proud.

Happy.

Free.

For once, Diana being different hadn’t frightened her.

I didn’t want anything to ruin that.

When I reached Abby’s room, I opened the door and carried her inside.

She stirred as I lowered her onto the edge of the bed.

“Sleep.”

Her eyes opened.

“That’s it?”

Then she pulled me down and kissed me again.

Every sensible thought vanished.

My hand went behind her neck.

Her mouth opened beneath mine, and I followed her onto the bed before I could remind myself that I had intended to leave.

I braced one hand beside her so I wouldn’t put my weight on her.

The other slid around her waist.

Abby pulled me closer.

Knox pushed harder.

Mate.

I ignored him.

Abby’s fingers slipped beneath the back of my shirt.

My breath caught.

That was worse.

Much worse.

I broke the kiss only long enough to drag air into my lungs.

Then my mouth found her jaw.

Her throat.

She tipped her head.

Knox went still.

I felt the exact second he noticed the exposed skin at the side of her neck.

Mark.

Diana surged toward us.

he response hit Knox like a match to gasoline.

Mark her.

I kissed the spot.

Once.

Then again.

Abby’s fingers tightened against my back.

I ran my tongue over her skin.

She gasped.

Knox slammed forward.

My teeth ached.

For one terrible second, biting down felt like the most natural thing in the world.

Claim her.

Bind her.

Make the bond whole again.

I froze.

No.

I pulled back.

Abby blinked up at me.

“Kade?”

I sat back far enough to put space between my mouth and her neck.

My pulse was pounding.

Not like this.

She wants us.

That wasn’t the point.

Abby pushed herself onto her elbows.

“What happened?”

“Nothing.”

Her brows drew together.

“That didn’t look like nothing.”

I looked at the faint damp mark my mouth had left against her neck.

Too close.

Way too close.

“If I don’t stop now, I’m going to mark you.”

Her eyes widened.

For a second she said nothing.

Then color rose into her face.

“I kissed you.”

“I know.”

“I wanted this.”

“I know that too.”

Her expression shifted.

Not hurt.

Confused.

“I know.”

You asked me for time.”

Silence.

“And I said I’d give it to you.”

Knox pushed again.

She is ours.

No.

Not unless Abby chose it herself.

Not because Diana wanted Knox.

Not because fate had chosen me first.

Not because I was afraid of losing her.

I had already made one decision for her because I thought I knew what was best.

I wasn’t doing it again.

Abby watched me.

“You really would have marked me?”

“Yes.”

The answer came out rougher than I intended.

Her lips parted slightly.

I looked away before I did something stupid.

“Very easily.”

A tiny smile touched her mouth.

“That bad?”
