“And?”

“I could turn her...fuck man.”

Kurt leaned forward on his knees and squinted at him. “What makes you think that?”

He was about to launch into a whole,you lost your fucking memory vampire or are you just dumbspeech when he sat up straight.

“You never got infected.”

“Welcome to the party, Einstein.” Kurt shook his head. “That’s held you back?”

“Well no. There was my father, but that’s sorted. So, you didn’t...nothing...?”

“No tail. No barking.” Kurt sat up.

Mack knew it was still a risk. One vampire not changing was hardly a solid dataset when it came to scientific studies, but it was a good sign. That and none of them had died from it.

Losing her would be catastrophic.

Feeling their connection was the rightest thing he’d ever done in his life. It just didn’t feel like it right now, as Ella stared back at him like he was a monster.

If she rejected him, it would be over for them both, regardless of the idiots playing nuclear war games.

Shit, maybe he should’ve told her beforehand.

Ella let out an awkward, short laugh. “Wolf. Like is that a job title or—”

God.

“A real wolf,” he replied and took her hand. “He won’t hurt you.”

Another stupid laugh. “He? Okay.”

Mack wasn’t sure if she was going into shock or humoring him. She’d felt his wolf; he’d felt the moment the two met after his wolf nudged her.

Giving the beast more control, he watched her brows lift in surprise. The canine let forth a soft growl and metaphysically brushed against her.

“What is that?” She climbed to her knees and gripped her arm. “Mack!”

“Come.” He climbed off the bed and led her into the shower, turning both taps on. Ella remained silent, staring into space while he kissed her neck and gently washed her.

They stepped out, and he dried them off, then dug through his bag and pulled out some sweatpants.

He felt her fingers on his back.

“Do you mean this?” she asked, outlining the large wolf tattoo he’d had done not long ago.

Mack turned, tugging her naked body again his. God, he could fuck her again. And again. The need to be inside her a compulsion he had to push back for now.

“No, baby.” He cupped her breast. “I mean inside me. The one you can feel. A real one.”

“That’s...no. It’s not possible. You are confused.”

Patiently, he waited for the right time to explain. There was no way he could do this while she was naked. His cock was already hard again.

Reaching down for a dress and cardigan, he pushed them into her arms. “Dress before I eat you alive again.”

“I’m quite happy for you to do that. And if you could stop talking about this silly wolf stuff...”
