Wickford High 1 - The Revelation (7 page)

“That wolf at the edge of the woods at school was you.”

He smiled. “Yes, that was me. I told you by your car today that I would protect you with my life.”

She smiled. “I thought you were just teasing me.” She suddenly drew her eyebrows together, and she stepped back and gave him a critical look. “You’re able to phase with clothes?”

He shrugged. “We’re enchanted. Whatever we’re wearing when we phase is what we’re wearing when we phase back.”

She giggled. “That must make it convenient.” He grinned and nodded in agreement. She looked around him into the darkness. “Where did the other wolves go?”

“That was my family, and since the threat is gone, they went back home.” He hesitated.

“You’re not afraid of me?”

She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood up on her tiptoes, and she met his warm, soft lips with her own. He held her tighter and deepened the freely given kiss. He ran his tongue across her soft, yielding lips, and she opened to him allowing his tongue to caress hers in a soft sensual kiss. It warmed her body clear down to her toes leaving her feeling warm and tingly inside. She broke the kiss and smiled up at him. “No, Luke, I’m not afraid of you. Because of you, I have found a place where I belong. I belong here with you. I am finally home.”

He smiled. “I’m glad to hear you say that, because I’d follow you wherever you went. I’d follow you to hell and back if I had to. Now . . . I better get you home, before your father decides to kill me first and ask questions later. As it is, your father would never accept me if he knew what I am,” he said softly.

She smiled. “You might be surprised. If you had told me that this morning, I would have probably told you that you were right. But . . . now, after all that’s happened today, I don’t think so. I saw a new side of my father today, and I think if he knew you just saved my life, that he would accept you no matter what you are.” She looked into his eyes. “You see, by his own words, I’m all he has left. You just saved me. I think that will count for a great deal in his eyes.”

He shook his head at her crazy reasoning. “Still, I’d rather not tell him that I’m a werewolf.”

She smiled. “Then it will be our secret. Please take me home.”

He grinned. “You’ve got it, darlin’.”
