As Damien and I made love, I couldn't help but feel more loved than I have ever felt before... even by him. It brought us even closer than we ever were, and we were almost inseparable before. If I thought there was no way I could live without him before, now I absolutely knew, without a doubt, that I would die without him. He is my other half, no more questions about it. I am so lucky to have a mate who will stay by my side no matter what and will continue to love me, no matter how huge I get. When we came undone together, for the last time tonight, I lay in his arms feeling more content than I have ever felt before. I was trying to figure out where that feeling was coming from, when Damien said, "What are you thinking?" I said, "It's just weird. I have always felt close to you, but tonight, I feel like there is absolutely no way I could ever live without you now. I have never felt more loved than I do tonight. I don't even know why." He said, "Because I fell in love with yo

After changing clothes, Damien and I took two of our security guys, and left to go shopping. He said, "So, where would you like to shop, my Luna?" I said, "I have never shopped in Union Station. Why don't we go there?" He smiled and said, "I would love that. I want what makes you happy." As we are riding in the back of a Hummer, I slide close to him and rest my head on his shoulder. I said, "You are so comfortable." He chuckled and said, "Comfortable? That's not something I hear every day." I said, "I can always totally relax in your arms. I love that." He sighed and said, "In that case, you're comfortable too. I always totally relax when I'm holding you." I said, "It's that damn mate bond." He said, "Okay. I really want to hear the story behind that saying. you and your parents say it all the time. So does Kayla." I laughed and said, "Okay. I will tell you about it over dinner at the mall." He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're really going to make me wait?" I said, "I d

When we were done with our shopping trip, we went back to Silver Moon Pack to see if there was anything else we can do for them before we go to the next pack on our itinerary. Adam said, "There is one more thing we need Abby to do. Abby, do you think you could go through your old house to see if there is anything your parents may have left that they would want?" I said, "Sure." So, Damien and I went to my old house and, as soon as I looked around, I started thinking of all the good times in this house. They were the only good times I had, with the exception of the time at Kayla's house. As we looked around, Damien walked into my old gym and said, "They left all of your old equipment." I said, "They did have to leave in a hurry." Damien agreed and said, "Why don't I send a crew up here to completely empty both houses and clean them for Adam?" I said, "Then mom, dad, Leah, and Beau can go through all of their stuff and see what they want, and what they want to give away. Good

One of the men on the council furrowed his brows, "Would you care to explain that statement?" I said, "Certainly. You see, it is in our basic nature to protect. We protect our mates, our children and our pack with a fierceness that cannot be matched. When we love, we love with everything in us. There is no divorce in the wolf community. The Moon Goddess, our creator, sends our mate. We normally only have one mate for our entire life. That mate is the one who completes us; the other half of our soul, if you will. If our mate rejects us, we feel it in our heart. It is a physical pain that is awful. If they don't get a second chance mate, their wolf can die, then the person dies." The woman on the council said, "That sounds so romantic." I said, "We don't see it as romantic. We see it as everyday life. There are instances when a wolf can go mad. If they are rejected or banished from the pack. Those are the two main reasons. When this happens, they usually end up having to be put down.

I said, "I'm sure my mate didn't tell you about it, because he tries his best to protect me. I have already had several attempts on my life, and I've been kidnapped a couple times because of it. My pack and everyone around me protect me fiercely." Alpha Arnou stood and everyone got quiet, "My pack, after what we all just witnessed, Luna Abby has told me that, because of what she is, she has had several attempts on her life, and she has been kidnapped twice. I now ask you; will you all promise to keep who she is within this pack and protect her as though she were one of ours?" There was a collective, "We will" and a loud applause. Damien leaned into me and said, "You do this to wolves everywhere you go. Nobody can hate you. It's impossible." I said, "It's very possible... Don't forget Dina." He said, "Dina was batshit crazy. She doesn't count." I shook my head and smirked at him, "You're also very biased." Alpha Arnou said, "He's right. Everyone calms down as you make your pr
