Torin pulled her in for another searing kiss. Sophie stood on her tiptoes, trying to get closer to him. He must have understood her need, because he lifted her a moment later. “Wrap your legs around ny waist, baby,” he whispered.

Sophie did what he said, and he deepened the kiss. Sophie wrapped her arms around his neck and julled him closer. Torin finally slowed down and eventually pulled back. He tucked her hair behind her ear. “Let’s get back to the house,” he said. Sophie couldn’t agree with him more; she wanted to as

well. But she also wanted a few answers to some questions, and she wasn’t sure when they would jet privacy like this again.

Before we go, can I ask you a few questions?” she asked looking at him. She could get used to this position. She was eye–to–eye with him.

‘Anything,” he said.

Sophie wiggled to get down. “Want to try a coffee?” she asked, her eyes sparkling in delight.

Corin smiled. “I’d love to.”

Sophie grabbed his hand and pulled him with her behind the new coffee bar. After a few minutes of orienting herself to where everything was, she ground some fresh dark roast beans. She made a small pot of dark roast for Torin and made a latte for herself. She just put vanilla syrup in it for now intil she got used to everything. When both drinks were ready, she handed Torin’s his and took hers. He led them to a table. Sophie pulled out her chair to sit down, but Torin pulled her onto his lap

nstead.

Ce looked at him in surprise.

take advantage of every opportunity for privacy we can get,” he said. Sophie relaxed against m and started sipping her coffee. “Ask away,” Torin said.

‘So do your females have babies in wolf form or human?” Sophie asked.

‘Human form,” he said. “Babies for shifters are born just like regular human babies. We don’t shift until we go through puberty.”

“When did you first shift?” Sophie asked him.

“I shifted pretty early,” he said. “I was ten. Most shifters shift for the first time by the time they reach eighteen. If they reach eighteen and haven’t shifted, then they’re not going to shift. Usually, that’s the case. Not always.” Sophie was quiet, just listening. “I think that’s what your brother and his friends were trying to get you to do. I think they were trying to get you to shift. Sometimes extreme circumstances will cause a wolf to make their first shift. I think they thought it they hurt you or

scared you badly enough, it would force you to shift,” Torin said in controlled anger.

Sophie looked at him in confusion. “But I’m not a wolf.”

Torin nodded. “I know, but you are an enigma. You don’t smell like a wolf, but you also don’t fully smell human. That’s why you garnered Liam’s attention so much the first time he saw you. He called me and told me I needed to come meet you. He was unsure of what you were. Of course, he had no dea that you were my mate.” Sophie listened and thought about everything he was saying. In a cruel way, it made sense.

‘You say that extreme circumstances can bring on a shift. Is that what happened to you when you

were ten?” she asked quietly.

Torin didn’t respond for a moment. “Yeah,” he finally said. “My father and mother, our alpha and

back mother, were killed.”

Sophie stared at him in shock. She had no idea; he’d never breathed a word of any of this to her.

‘I’m so sorry, Torin. I had no idea. What happened?” she asked.

He was quiet, and she gave him time. “My father was a good alpha. Strong and powerful. One of the strongest, if not the strongest, alpha in the country. Because of that, he never worried about his own safety. He never had a need to. He was a prideful man. One night, that came back to bite him. He ind my mom went into the woods one night and never came back. They ran into a pack of rogue wolves. There were just too many of them.” Torin was silent after that. Sophie had no idea what to ay. “That’s why Max is so obsessed with my security. He remembers what happened that night. We all do. It could have been prevented.”

‘Did you and Liam and Max all grow up together?” she asked.

Torin’s expression softened. “Yeah. We’ve been friends for a long time.” He was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at Sophie. “They’re both strong and powerful enough to be alphas. They could go out and have their own pack if they wanted to, but both of them chose to stay with me.”
